At least two “Republican women for Obama” are Democrats.

It happens all the time in talk radio: a caller will say that he is a lifelong Republican, and will recall fondly how he voted for Ronald Reagan. Then he says that today’s Republicans have gone too far, and for the first time ever he is voting for a Democrat! These callers are nearly always lying. If you look them up, you likely will find that they are Democratic Party precinct chairmen.

The Obama campaign is trying to perpetrate the same deception. It has just released a video called Republican Women For Obama, which features four or five women who claim to be Republicans, or to have been Republicans until recently. But, of course, they are appalled by Mitt Romney–it is hard to say why, apart from a couple of discreet references to abortion, but did they really just now figure out that the Republican Party is pro-life? The ad is surprisingly ineffective, but it is also dishonest. At least one of the women who pose as “Republican women for Obama” is a long-time Democrat.

 



Her name is Maria Ciano, and BuzzFeed finds that she has been a registered Democrat in Colorado at least since 2006.



Wait a minute, here's her mother who is another one of the "Republican women."

The women in the video aren’t named, but she is Delia Ciano–none other than Maria Ciano’s mother

 

 



Is this an indication that Team Obama could not find even a handful of Republican women who are planning to vote for Obama just to have their birth control pills paid for by the taxpayer and provided by the Catholic Church? Are all of Obama’s “followers” fake? You have to wonder what is going on? Who are they trying to fool?

My wife, who is a Republican woman, has just left to attend the Republican convention in Tampa - her first - despite the fact that Tampa is in the path of a hurricane. I suspect that there is an electoral hurricane headed for Obama. After a big storm, there is always some debris to pick up but there is also a feeling of freshness, of cleansing … that the earth has been swept by the wind and washed clean by the rain. That is what the day after this election will feel like to most Americans.
