I think you are confusing Supes akwardness with the ladies as Clark Kent (his cover for being Supes) as Log Cabin/Libertarian leanings.

Supes is as hetero as they come, and definitely GOP all the way. (no matter why Chris Reeves may try and say)

Superman was definitely Republican. I haven't collected comics in a while, but when I did he didn't demonstrate any liberal tendencies. And he did demonstrate a willingness to kill the bad guys if that's what it took (Maybe I shouldn't be using that as a litmus-test, but in my judgement any super hero who isn't willing to kill even the most MURDEROUS bad guys is equivalent to a liberal who's so against the death penalty that they'd be protesting against Hitler being put to death).

And though tv isn't always an accurate measure of the way a character is in comics, both Justice League (The cartoon) and Smallville present a guy who's pretty conservative. In Justice League, they recently showed the 3-part finale where the Justice League is thrown into the past. There, Superman doesn't pussyfoot around and proceeds to kick Nazi ass, giving them everything he's got (And undoubtedly killed a bunch of them. He certainly didn't try to determine the "root causes" of their aggression. They're bad guys and he went to work). In Smallville, Jonathan Kent, his adopted father, appears to be a very conservative guy and is raising his son that way. So yep, Superman is a Republican.
