I like to use The Lion King as an analogy for anything more complex than Velcro "shoe laces." Think of it this way, I said to Carrie and Pearl: Scar is a Republican, and Mufasa is a Democrat. Enough said?
Works for me.

Since we talk alot about being helpful, I generally say something to the effect that Republicans want to help themselves and their families and Democrats want to help everyone.

This book might be helpful -- Why Mommy Is A Democrat. http://littledemocrats.net/
I do think the Lion King analogy works though!
