I'd say for your "in general", all but Politically Incorrect Villain occur across the political spectrum. Also, W. isn't The Dragon because he's the man in charge. Cheney is definitely the Dragon-in-Chief though.

Some others:
Corrupt Corporate Executive fits many notable republicans.

Eagleland is basically the left's stereotype view of the right but as the linked page says, there's a certain amount of "truth in television". (The trope itself is actually about how non-Americans view Americans so I'm bending a bit here).

Newt Gingrich was Put On A Bus but in 2012 The Bus Came Back
