Do Johnny + Mrs. Iselin remind you of anyone?

How about John Lennon and Yoko Ono?
(yes, mother - every time I heard Laurance Harvey address Angela Lansbury as such, I cringed)
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked. -

This thread is nothing more than people declaring their own personal political beliefs. The Iselins have nothing to do with any of our first families. Nobody here is bothering to cite examples from the movie or from the people they mention.
The only real political person that the movie does reference is Senator McCarthy, who was a conservative Republican. The Lincoln references, and Raymond himself say that both Iselin and Jordan are Republicans, with Jordan being more liberal.
Take your political vitriol to POLITICO and stop wasting imdb threads with political nothingness.
At least there will be plenty implied. -

Actually, the only reference to Republicans made by Raymond in the film was to Holborn Gaines, when he told his mother that he was going to work for him.
MOM: That Communist?
Raymond: He's not a Communist, Mother; he's a Republican.
That might not be an exact quote, but it's pretty close. -

How things change over time, once it was "If you disagree with me, you are a Communist'.. Now that time is over it has become "If you disagree with me you are a racist".. wonder what the next excuse will be?
