Oh, he's the guy from the TV show about a small Southern town whose population was, oddly, 100% white - you know that show that aired from 1960-1968 during the civil rights movement?

He’s a big lib. Opie, Andy and the Fonz made a commerical for Obama back in 2008. Of course he’s going to support obama care

He’s been a lifelong Democrat, like a lot of Southern men of his generation. No real surprise here, he was a big O-bot in ‘08.
