''"...and then the third girl was a Republican."''

The [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work is essentially apolitical, as [[The Brothers Chaps]] have avoided using their work to express any political views of their own. Nonetheless, there have been a few references to '''politics''' in their work, always of a politically neutral nature.

== Appearances ==

* [[Homestarloween Party]] — [[Marzipan]], while telling her part of a ghost story, says that one of the girls in the story was a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]].
* [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] — [[Pom Pom]] dresses as controversial liberal political filmmaker [[Michael Moore]] for [[Halloween]].
* Email [[the show]] — [[Homestar Runner]] asks [[The Poopsmith]] if he would care to share some of his "polictical views". He does not, and leaves the show.
* [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — One option for Homestar Runner to earn a stirring utensil from [[Bubs]] is to do a Reagan impression, though Homestar insists it is an impression of Keanu Reagan, not president [[Ronald Reagan]]. He can also be seen doing the impression in an Easter egg. He mentions economics and [[Oliver Cromwell]] (although likely intending [[Oliver North]]).
* Email [[secret identity]] — The magazine [[Scarfgirl]] includes the topic "Is politics bad?".
* Email [[4 branches]] — Released shortly after the [[United States elections, 2006|2006 United States midterm elections]], this email derives its title from the [[Separation of powers|three branches of the United States government]] and includes Homestar Runner's head as part of the [[United States Capitol]].
* Email [[slumber party]] — [[The King of Town]] complains, "Government ain't right!"
* Email [[hiding]] — [[Strong Sad]] says "Ooh, parliament!" after [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]] throw a [[Court dress|barrister's wig]] under a cage. In the DVD commentary, the Chaps say that this was inspired by the [[Prime Minister's Questions]], a recurring event where the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|British prime minister]] fields questions from the rest of [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliament]], and is well-known for its confrontational exchanges between the PM and members of [[His Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition|the opposition]].
* [[Strong Badia the Free]] — Strong Bad remarks to Marzipan that [[Marzistar]]'s policies sound vaguely communistic. Indeed, its official name is the 'Free People's Republic of Marzistar', reminiscent of the official names of various communist states (i.e. [[East Germany|"German Democratic Republic"]], [[China|"People's Republic of China"]], [[North Korea|"Democratic People's Republic of Korea"]], etc.).
