Video: DNC Trots Out Fake Lifelong Republican Maria Ciano

Everybody remembers “lifelong Republican”, Maria Ciano, from the Obama campaign video called Republican Women For Obama, right? The video featured four or five women who claimed to be Republicans, or to have been Republicans until recently. John Hinderaker was able to prove that at least two of the women as hard-core leftists including Maria Ciano.

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.

In addition to the fact that she is a registered Democrat, check out her Facebook “likes.” They make it obvious that Ms. Ciano is a devoted Democrat and a left-wing activist. Here are some of her “likes,” beginning with the earliest in time:

But the Obama campaign describes Ms. Ciano as a “Republican Woman!” Right. There are liars; there are compulsive liars; and then there is the Obama campaign.

Here’s her dopey DNC speech where she begins, “I grew up in a conservative Republican family in Aurora Co. Many of my relatives can’t believe I’m doing this – I guess I can’t either!”

One of the relatives who most certainly, isn’t surprised by her appearance at the D ‘n C is her “conservative Republican” mother, who Hinderaker discovered also appeared in the Obama campaign video with her.

The women in the video aren’t named, but she is Delia Ciano–none other than Maria Ciano’s mother. Her Facebook page, like her daughter’s, is revealing. She put up a link to the Obama video and writes, “Maria and I are part of this video. I hope you watch.”

I love the part where someone comments, “Just saw you on TRMS [The Rachel Maddow Show]!” And she responds: “TRMS is my favorite show! Amazing!” Sure, just like all Republicans, she is a big Rachel Maddow fan. Delia Ciano also shared a link via the Rachel Maddow show:

Elsewhere on the page, she refers to Republicans as “this idiots.” No surprise, then, that her page consists mostly of attacks on Republicans. Here are just a couple of many screen shots that could be taken. In the first one, note the reference to “Mitt Romney and his party”:

What a farce.  The only “idiots” are the people who buy this hokum.
