Matt Groening has always been left-leaning. Read the various "Life is Hell" books like "School is Hell" or "Childhood is Hell". It tends to rip on Republicans a lot while leaving the Democrats alone. Hell even Futurama had an episode making fun of Birthers too with that one episode. All the dumb and evil people on the Simpsons are all conservatives and the smart and good ones are liberals.
Oh and 500th post, Yay!
The greatest irony is their best and most prolific writer for the show was libertarian/conservative, John Swartzwelder. Penning his works while in coffee shop booth with unless amounts of caffeine and cigs.
How long was John on the writing team? I seem to remember a lot of the good writers left the Simpsons to work on Futurama.
