“Bible-Thumping, Gun-Toting, Redneck” Starts “Hillary Supporters For McCain” Movement - With Video
A guy calling himself a “Bible-Thumping, Gun-Toting, Redneck and proud of it” has started a website called The National Organization of Hillary Clinton Supporters for John McCain.
The site has had almost half a million hits in just a few days…
They’re mad as hell, and Hillary Clinton’s supporters aren’t going to take it anymore.
Some Clintonites are so mad about Barack Obama’s Tuesday victory that they’ve launched a web site to build support to launch a lobbying group to support Republican John McCain.
“We’re going to run campaign ads to defeat Obama,” says Ed Hale, a 63-year-old rancher and a Clinton supporter from Wellington, Texas. “We have doctors, lawyers, CPAs, the blue bloods, and then we have rednecks like me. It’s a very diversified organization.”
The split illustrates the difficult task the Democratic party now faces in rallying the troops behind Obama. Open dissent within party ranks provides Republicans with openings to exploit.
Hale launched the “Hillary Clinton Supporters for John McCain” group last Saturday. The campaign claims to have 5,000 supporters, and its website visitor counter says that it has already attracted 37,807 visitors.
“Last night, when they crowned Obama king, that’s when I sent my e-mails out to people, and since then, we’ve gotten thousands of hits,” he says.
Hale, a Vietnam veteran and a long-time Democrat, says that many of the group’s supporters are Reagan Democrats, and their primary concern is foreign policy and defense. A call to the Texas Democratic Party confirmed that he was supposed to have been a delegate to the state convention this week.
He says that he wouldn’t vote for Obama even if Clinton were vice president.
