“Republican” In Obama Ad Is A Democrat

A Democrat for Obama.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!
"Republican" In Obama Ad Is A Democrat
Zeke Miller

One of the women in the Obama campaign’s new video of Republicans supporting the president because of GOP positions on women’s rights appears not to be a Republican at all.

Maria Ciano who is featured in the web video has been a registered Democrat since October 2006 according to voter registration records.

“People like me and my family have realized that the Republican Party once was inline with our views, but are no longer,” the Colorado resident says in the video.

The video is one component of a larger Obama campaign push on women in light of the recent controversy surrounding Todd Akin.

      Hey, guess what? I was a registered Republican woman (now registered Independent) who voted for Obama. And I’m certainly not making that mistake again!

      Yeah! Another Obama conspiracy! It’s not like she could’ve changed her mind about the GOP six years ago. After all, the Republicans were giving away free puppies back in 2006. How could anyone dislike that? And when will reporters in the Liberal Media ask Obama about why he hates puppies?

      Given the lies coming hot and heavy out of American Crossroads and other Koch Bros fronts, much less from the Romney campaign directly, you are really grasping at straws here. Seriously.

      So how about it Zeke? What was she registered as before 2006? Republican assault on women’s rights started a long time ago. Everything she said could be true, this article does nothing to disprove what she actually said. Instead we get this not so subtle Ad Hominem attack against her without actually disproving what she said.

      Was she a Republican before 2006? Because the GOP has been inhospitable to sane, thoughtful people for a lot longer than six years.

      Haha, this just keeps getting hotter and hotter with morons. Never mind that the premise of the article was destroyed by the very first comment.

      I find it really weird that you have to register yourself as being in support of a particular group in the US. Over here, we just vote for whoever we want based on who’s up for consideration in that election - you’re not restricted by your past beliefs and you can vote on every election / treaty regardless of your where your affiliation lies. (i.e. there are no primaries to decide on the nominees for each party - those decisions are made within the party.)

      She doesn’t claim to currently be a Republican in the ad. You should change the headline to “Reporter” at website repeats campaign claims without checking them

    • Solus 9 months ago

      The best part is all the conservative blogs linking this article don’t have the brainpower to realize that she could have been a republican before 2006… No logical thought process at all, they are ignorant and proud of it.

      …The ad doesn’t imply that they became Democrats just to vote against Romney or that they are still Republicans but making an exception for Obama. This woman WAS a Republican. Now she is not. How is that deceptive?

      Phillip Taylor has posted 10x more than anyone on this blog could he be a paid operative? Just asking the elephant in the room question……….

      So one of the women doesn’t believe that the government should decide what she can and cannot do with her body? Does that include tellling her what she can eat and how much? Does that include making her wear seatbelts or smoke? There’s also the false accusations of Republicans don’t want women to have birth control. PLEASE, if you are a woman who is a democrat, WE WANT YOU TO USE CONTRACEPTIVES!! We just don’t want to be forced to pay for them or to pay for your abortions. Don’t rephrase the argument, Keep it to what it really is!

      Hey, Phil, GW Bush tried to issue a state of emergency days before Katrina actually hit, but the gov of LA did not allow him to. GW chose to respect the gov., and this was actually GW follwing the letter of the law.
      There are problems with our HC, but obamacare is not a solution, will only make things worse.

      Everything in the ad is true. Watch it. It is a powerful ad. I voted for bob dole and was actively involved in republican politics until about 1999 when I saw where the party was headed and decided to register independent. It was after the bush v. Gore incident that I registered democrat and I’ve been one ever since. The republican party that I grew up with is dead and gone. The moderates have been shown the door and the party will soon be relegated to permanent minority party status led by the religious zealots and the party folks. A this point it’s just pure demographics.

    • so she was Republican before that, and switched over for those reasons back in 2006, during the post- Hurricane Katrina backlash.
