Since when are Republicans wrestling fans? I'm sure if you took a poll of the typical audience at a professional wrestling show, you'd find that 90% of them have no party affiliation and probably have never voted. The remaining 10% are Democrats as they are recipients of Welfare and don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.
I beg to differ
The wrestling demographic is heavily dependent on Middle American Males, most of which are both heavily Conservative politically, and strong supporters of the sitting President, George W. Bush. In other words, JBL as a character is actually quite similar to the WWE’s core audience of Middle American Males and shares many of their views. The idea that a wrestler with this kind of a gimmick could actually get over as a heel when the majority of the wrestling audience is not only Conservative and Republican, but downright in love with Good Ol’ Dubya, is just ludicrous. So, WWE tired to rectify this by making JBL into a rich elitist who was obsessed with his manicures and his day-spas and his New York lifestyle, a stereotype which haunts Liberals, in an attempt to make JBL look hypocritical.
Come on Rasputin, you just love to watch those oily men roll on the mat.

No, I think you'll find that the point was a comment on the almost Hitler youth-esque tactics (not screaming Nazis here a la Godwin's law - just citing for use as an example) it could appear the White House is using to ensure that there will be a healthy batch of soldiers for tommorow.
