Joe Cimperman Fudges Numbers in Race Against Kucinich

Callahan’s Cleveland Diary ( http://www.callahansclevelanddiary.com/?p=474 ) discovered something that the Joe Cimperman campaign probably wishes it hadn't. Cimperman has long stated the reason he is running for Dennis Kucinich's seat in the 10th Congressional District in Ohio (a place where Cimperman does not even reside) is the fact that Kucinich is an absentee Congressman. Well, Callahan’s Cleveland Diary showed that reasoning doesn't not pass the litmus test...


Considering that Cimperman lives in Tubbs-Jones 11th District, and the only thing he has been running on is Kucinich missing votes - can someone explain Cimperman's real motivation in this election?

More troubling is the fact that Cimperman conveys a flat out lie in the advertisement. The clip in the piece clearly shows that Kucinich missed "over 300 votes" in Congress when the fact is that he missed 139. And to think that Cimperman states "I approve this message" at the end of the advert. What else would he approve without first checking the facts if he was elected to represent the people of Cleveland in Congress?

Kucinich missing votes while campaigning for a higher office is understandable (Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo,and Ron Paul who are the other members of Congress that were running for President all had higher rates of missing votes)...
