Disillusioned Obama Supporter In Romney Ad Is Actually GOP Staffer

[kpete]

Source: Talking Points Memo

Republicans debuted a new ad Thursday in which a frustrated former Obama supporter expresses her disappointment with the president. The only problem: The woman in the video is actually an RNC staffer.

The new ad features Republican National Committee Director of Hispanic Outreach Bettina Inclan, who in the ad purports to be an average woman voter who supported Obama in 2008. She describes her disillusionment with the president in the ad as a romantic relationship gone awry.

“You’re just not he person I thought you were,” Inclan says in the ad, addressing a cardboard cutout of Obama. Inclan lists out-of-control spending and Obama’s penchant for hanging out with Hollywood celebrities as reasons for the break-up. “It’s not me, it’s you. I think we should just be friends.”

...................

The RNC says its ad, which first appeared on television Thursday is not dishonest.

1. Just like the lies being told by those users saying they were Democrats after seeing the propaganda

Movie 2016, how they were now not supporting Obama

The party that says they represent all "good" Christians sure does a lot of lying.

5. Those people are not Christians.

To do a bastardized paraphrase of the late Senator Lloyd Bentsen: They're not Christians, I've worked with Christians. I know Christians. Christians are a friends of mine. These people, they are not Christians.

RIP Senator Bentsen.

29. We ought to put a meme out there in the MSM about "bearing false witness" since they think violating

that *commandment* is perfectly fine!!!

[Angry Dragon]

2. Did she vote for Obama in 2008??

[BlueCaliDem]

19. You be the judge:

Inclan began her current RNC post in January 2012, and has worked in Republican politics since well before Obama’s 2008 election. She did Hispanic outreach for Rick Scott’s 2010 Florida gubernatorial race worked on Capitol Hill for Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) and as national executive director of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly.

“I was never pressured to be a Republican, but I am very much a fiscal conservative,” Inclan told Business Insider in May. “It might be because we were always on a very tight budget growing up. Or maybe my views of the world fall in line with the Republican Party.”

Does she sound like someone who would have voted for President Obama in 2008?

Sometimes, just following a link to read the rest of the story helps clarify a lot of confusing unknowns that are not included in an excerpt you choose to respond to.

lies and the lying liars.

[azurnoir]

10. for someone that wants to be 'just friends'

she doesn't sound all too friendly, back to your Repub handlers with you

[oberliner]

17. Is this the first time you've posted oustide of I/P?

Good to see you up here!

[azurnoir]

18. ah no it isn't but thanks all the same n/t

[mbperrin]

11. These people are simply allergic to the truth.

I mean, if they acknowledged any truth at all, they would break out in hives.

[SunSeeker]

12. Ya know, here in L.A., women do not break up with a guy for spending too much or hanging with celebs

...that sort of guy is kinda considered a hot date. Just saying.

13. It's The New Ashley Todd

[Island Blue]

14. I think Al Frankin

needs to do a revision of his book "Lies and they Lying Liars Who Tell Them". He only thought he knew who the liars were and what the lies were when he wrote that book.

[LiveNudePolitics]

15. Just when you think they have fully expressed their dislike of women,

the GOP goes one step further. Let them have the ones silly enough to think complicated problems would be solved in a few years like magic, without any sacrifice on their parts. Of course, with all the anti woman legislation their gang has been churning out under cover of "states rights", we should stop being surprised.

[Scairp]

16. How low can they go

It would appear there is no limit on the depths that party will sink to when it comes to misleading and outright lying to the American people.

[Kingofalldems]

20. They literally lie about any subject

[Liberalynn]

21. They should just play the Stephanie Miller Show's "Lying Sack of Crap" Song

in the background everytime a Puke speaks! It would be a fitting theme song!

[McCamy Taylor]

22. Liars.

23. read the selling of an american president

[Berlum]

24. Wow - republicans lie about everything

shameful

[Downwinder]

25. Having dinner with a paper cut out,

thats like talking to an empty chair. I sure don't think that will sway my vote.

[RoccoR5955]

26. IT does have some appeal...

...to geezers who yell at empty chairs on stage!

[wiggs]

27. Deep in the Memory Hole: Remember in 2000 all the pictures and reports

of outraged citizens trying to stop the vote recount? They were pounding on the windows, yelling, protesting?

They were GOP and DeLay staffers.

This is something someone should tie together someday...fake fake fake.

[Sedona]

28. Its no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else.

Tell these guys weren't ahead of their time in 1992!

[Dawson Leery]

31. Linda McSteroids is doing the same thing in Connecticut.

In 2010 and 2012 her campaign paid actors to portray "disillusioned" "Democrats".

Filth!

[oliverrams1]

32. RNC

They need new actors. This ad does not seem true. Who is falling for this silly crap!

[RoccoR5955]

33. They need actors period! Only they won't pay them. n/t
