I really have to stand up for american dad on that one. :\ Many people have the exact same complaint about it that you do, that it's constantly taking jabs at the Republican party. In my opinion, since one of the main characters is nothing more than a dragged out stereotype of a Liberal, Democrats also get poked at too. Besides the two "conservative and liberal" characters (and those minor characters outside the family associated with them) everyone else seems to be pretty neutral towards politics. Even with politically neutral characters, you can still get a politically-driven cartoon... and even that's not [recently] been the case, since the show is getting more and more like a traditional sitcom. Owells.
I'll agree with you on everything else... family guy doesn't even *try* to make it even, and Simpsons is kind of meh when it comes to putting political messages in their episodes. They used to be more subtle, but now it's like "TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT DRUGS."
Then again I am incredibly neutral towards politics, but I can see how someone would get weird if they constantly riped on your beliefs. :]
