Yes, it was Bob Hope's character, Larry Lawrence, who had the next line. The plot summary from the Internet Movie Database -
Mary Carter inherits her family's ancestral home, located on a small island off Cuba, and, despite warnings and death threats, decides to take possesion of the reputedly haunted castle. She is joined by radio broadcaster Larry Lawrence who, believing he has killed a mob gunsel, flees New York with his butler, Alex. Once on the island the threesome enter the eerie castle and after viewing the ghost of one of Mary's ancestors and fighting off a menacing zombie, they find the key to the castle's treasure but are interrupted by an all-too-human foe.
The movie came out in 1940, at the end of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's second (of four) term in office. Roosevelt brought about many changes while in office, and had very strong backing from his Democratic brethren, thus the line.
Geoff Montgomery: It's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.
Larry Lawrence: You mean like Democrats?
