That hurts you know because
....
What? She isn't? She wasn't?
She didn't? Who is she?
Well, the "former Obama supporter"
is actually a Republican National Convention staffer. Yes, the entire ad, start
to finish, beginning to end, was a lie. Now that the idea of the GOP
doing anything dishonest or deceitful or just plain stupid is a surprise, isn't
it?
The new ad featured Republican
National Committee Director of Hispanic Outreach Bettina Inclan, who says she's
just an average female who supported Obama in 2008, but is now disillusioned
with him, and wants to break things off:
“You’re just not the person I thought you were. It’s not me, it’s you. I think we should just be friends.”
The Republican National
Committee says it didn't lie in the commercial:
“It’s a lighthearted ad to show how millions of Americans feel about President Obama — he’s not the person we thought he was and it’s time to break up with him. But let’s be clear, it is an ad.”
Let's see:
While Bettina Inclan began her
current RNC post in January of this year, she has worked in GOP politics since
long before Obama's 2008 campaign. Inclan did Hispanic outreach for Rick
Scott’s 2010 Florida gubernatorial race; she worked on Capitol Hill for
Republican Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart of Florida; she also worked for
Republican Congressman Thaddeus McCotter of Missouri; and she was national
executive director of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly.
So, this woman who has worked
for the GOP for many years is used in an ad by the GOP as a Democrat unhappy
with Obama? Funny, the GOP chose a woman to
be in the ad since the GOP keeps fending off allegations of being anti-women. And funnier still, is that the GOP
used a Latina woman since the GOP keeps trying to woo the Hispanic population
into goose-stepping along with them. But, it's all a lie. All a
plot. And if you can't run on the truth, what have you got left?

These GOP ads are just getting out of control with the lying, convenient use of editing and the like! I hope that the normal American is smart enough to see thru the smoke and mirrors!!
