Even fictional sherriff Andy Taylor is feeling the political heat on Democrats this fall.

The polling firm Public Policy Polling on Wednesday released a poll showing that the Manteo, N.C. resident, who has long endorsed Democratic candidates and causes, is down 25 points in favorability in just two years.

In June of 2008 Griffith, 56 percent of state residents had a favorable opinion of him, versus only 9 percent with an unfavorable one. That's a net 47 point favorability. Fast forward two years, and this week, 44 percent of residents have a favorable view of Griffith, while 22 percent responded unfavorable. That's only a net 22 percent favorable, down from 47 in 2008. Yikes!

You know, my wife watches Andy Griffith nearly every day. After a while I noticed that in nearly every episode, he lies to someone for some reason.

So now I wonder why everyone thought this character was such a good role model.

Which reminds me, Deputy Fife only had one bullet, just like Obama.

Obama’s bullet is “Blame Bush”. At least the public is finally getting tired of Obama reloading the same cartridge and firing it over and over again.

Andy Griffith, along with Opie totally supports communism and Marxist, socialist Obama-deathcare. On top of this, both of them are trying to decieve Americans by shilling for it! This is why red blooded Americans who believe in Democracy and in America no longer support them. He, along with Opie have sided with the Marxist-Socialist: Imam Obama. They can have him! They are just paying the price for their Anti-Americanism.

Stewart, Wayne, and Fonda—all great actors, although Fonda was liberal. When I’m watching a movie or TV show,I tend to
follow your formula:”Forget politics. Just enjoy the performance”. That’s easy with Stewart and Wayne,who had conservative reputations. But with others,not so easy. I’ve learned over the years that a number of my favorite performers were lefties:James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart,Boris Karloff,Bela Lugosi,Errol Flynn and yes, Andy Griffith. Its easier to enjoy their performances, if you’re not *deluded* by their performances. After all,they get paid to put on an *act* in front of camera, not be themselves. But, when their performances propagandize,then there’s a problem.

None of these perfomances , however, was so blatantly political as what one sees nowadays. The 30s and 40s were collectivist minded and this generationally voted heavily for FDR. Even the commie writers adopted an American one. One Daily Worker article had it that they were just like other Americans except that they believed in dialectical materialism. Few of said actors had any philosophical views at all. The wholly stuff in “Grapes of Wrath” by Carradine and Fonda was something like FDR himself would say, more “progressive” than marxist.
