23. The McMahons have also shown signs of supporting gay rights
And GLAAD even gave them a bowl from pottery barn in the build up to Bill & Chuck's gay wedding on their program. (They had the face (or good guy) wrestlers supporting the wedding) GLAAD did disapprove of the wedding being crashed by Eric Bishoff at the time though. But Bishoff was a bad guy, and what wrestling wedding hasn't had a big reveal or violent storyline come out of it.

One of Vince's friends and a long time booker for the company, Pat Patterson, is openly gay... though his sexuality was never discussed as part of his on screen character.

They've made fun of God on the program many times... or at least fanatical Christianity. (This has offended me because I'm a Christian, but am just pointing it out)

They have slyly indicated support for things such as legalizing marijuana.

They ran an angle for over a year with a villain staple the "RTC" which was meant to make fun of the conservative censorship organization the "PTC"

That being said, the McMahons are filthy rich, and Vince loves money more than anything in the world... so of course he is a republican. He's also reported to not be a very nice person. He'd stab anyone in the back, even his own father (which he did), in order to make money. :(

But nice or not, and conservative or not, he'd also fall into the category of creative genius... up there with legendary promotional minds like Disney and PT Barnum. That can spell trouble for Chris Dodd.
