Ah….the media. Here is a report on Obama where once again they seem to find a Republican who has suddenly seen the light and will vote Dem: (h/t Riehl World View)
Restaurant patron Scott Boyd, a surgeon, told Obama he’s been a lifelong Republican but did not vote in last week’s GOP primary so that he could vote for the Illinois senator in the Democratic primary.
“There is a charisma about him. He seems to represent change. He’s an aggregator, he pulls people together,” Boyd said in an interview.
Lifelong huh? Kinda like this guy?
Checking the donation record of Mr. Boyd shows a different record. Via Opensecrets.org I found two donation records for Scott Boyd, Surgeon, in SC. One to Alex Sanders, Democrat:
And one for Jim Demint, Republican:
Doing a search across the country I could find no other Scott Boyd, surgeon, donations. So what does this tell us? He is no life long Republican. In fact he gave money to a Democrat.
This took me five minutes, if that, of research. Too much to ask for a writer? But it sounds good for those liberal media types so what the hell….no research needed.

Another ‘thoughtful’ voter turning his back on ‘his party’. Why do we NEVER see profiles of turncoat Dems?
Wonder of wonders huh Black? I’m sure the MSM would never intentionally ignore dems who voted republican. /sarc
How does this happen over and over and over? It really has gotten to the point where anytime I hear “lifelong Republican, ashamed of Republicans” or “Republican all my life, voting for democrat,” I hear “Lie.”
Does this happen the other way around? I don’t think it does.
I remember “that guy.”
The thing about Democrats is that they lie so much, and are so easily fooled, they don’t realize how people with integrity can see right through them.
“That Guy” with the phony sign was so transparently LYING that it didn’t take more than a few clicks of the mosue to prove it.
Funny thing is that “journalists” who are suppsed to be trained to vet their sources never bothered.
What’s funny to me is that if they looked hard enough they probably could scare up someone who really had previously voted Republican and now for whatever reason was going for Obama. But I guess that would take some work, whereas finding a Democrat willing to lie and *claim* they’d been a lifelong Republican is relatively easy…
