ObamaCare Shill Andy Griffith Takes a Beating
Sorry Andy, I loved your show when I was a young boy growing up but you and Opie (Ron Howard) gave us Obama as President and ObamaCare.
Shame on the both of you.
Too bad about your brand but you deserve it.
How bad is it for Democrats in North Carolina? Even Sheriff Andy Taylor is taking a beating in the polls.
Andy Griffith – star of the Andy Griffith Show, a Manteo resident and noted endorser of Democratic causes and candidates – has seen his approval ratings plummet, according to a poll published Tuesday by Raleigh-based Public Policy Polling.
The Democratic pollster found that Griffith’s approval rating has fallen 25 points since 2008. Griffith has been a closer for Democrats, an unimpeachable saintly figure who fills his rare political spots with folksy charm and obvious references to his role as a small-town North Carolina sheriff.
In July he cut an ad for the U.S. government promising “good things” to come from the Democratic-backed health care law. The ad prompted five Republican U.S. senators to accuse the Obama administration of using taxpayer money to bolster his policies.
And as the poll suggests, the ad may have tainted the Griffith brand.

Maybe it was ok to be a Democrat way back in the 50’s, my father was. As time went on things changed and the Democrats of today are not the same. Poor Andy Griffith, looking at him in that commercial was like looking at my mother just before she died of Alzheimer disease. He didn’t look like he was all there. Shame on this administration to take advantage of an American icon. We all love the Andy of Mayberry when everything was conservative and clean. How sad that the last thing we’ll remember of him is being sucked in by the propaganda henchmen of Comrade Obama.
