Which Neocons are like which characters in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington?

Thanks to whoever posted it was playing on Flix, I just finished watching it again.

I had been a long time. It was great!!

For any who saw it or have seen it, which character would be

DeLay, Rove, Abramoff, Cheney or others???

Taylor in the movie might be like Abramoff. Some of them looked grim and evil like Cheney. I didn't catch the name of the guy who said he'd been telling Payne what to do for 20 years, but that would be Rove.

Anyone else?

1. The best scene of the movie....

JEFFERSON
I *don't* think that's the thing to
do! No! I think what you ought to do
is--*fight*!
(She tears up the
paper)

JEFFERSON
Wait--

SAUNDERS
What you *have* to do is fight!

JEFFERSON
But--I've done everything I--

SAUNDERS
I don't care *what* you've done!
Don't quit. Don't grab a measly chance
like this to save a few pieces--other
men could--but not you. As long as
you lived, you'd remember you ran
out and threw this country of yours
to the jackals--!

JEFFERSON
(burying his head--
hopelessly)
Oh--Saunders--

SAUNDERS
Jeff--listen--remember the day you
got here?--what you said about Mr.
Lincoln?--that he was sitting up
there--watching--waiting for someone
to come along? Well--that was *you*.
Someone with a little plain, decent,
uncompromising *rightness*--to root
out the Taylors--yeah, and really
light up that dome for once. This
country could use some of that--so
could the whole drunken, cockeyed
world right now--a *lot* of it! And
when the right man comes along--no
matter *what* the odds--he can't
*ever* quit! A little fellow called
David walked out with only a sling-
shot--but he had the *truth* on his
side--

JEFFERSON
(still hopelessly)
Saunders--if there was *any* way--

SAUNDERS
We'll *find* one! Only throw
compromise out of the window--stick
to Jeff Smith, the man who first
came to this town--get up and *fight*--
and we'll find *some* way. I don't
know where we'll wind up--but the
flag'll be flying--!

2. That WAS really great when he turns around to fight.

I also loved it when he wouldn't yield the floor to his colleagues, and also the President of the Senate was a much friendlier fellow than the one nowadays.

It was very inspiring.

Too bad we can't sit all the Dems down to watch it this weekend.
