Truth is Good

(Ooops!  Sorry about the typos!)
Hurry and find Republican candidate, Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist.  Check his nose.  Is he growing a Pinocchio nose for lying???

Here is the background from the IrregularTimes on a recent ad from Steve Stivers:

 ...Mary Jo Kilroy can't hide from her 98.4% voting record with Nancy Pelosi....

The Irregular Times tells us that----
....This claim by Steve Stivers is a lie.


A review of roll call data for the 111th Congress of 2009-2010 (the only term of Congress Mary Jo Kilroy has had in office) shows that this claim cannot be true. The current set of roll call votes for Rep. Kilroy’s term in office to date (database | codebook) flatly contradicts Steve Stivers’ claims.

The roll call record actually shows that Mary Jo Kilroy can’t possibly have voted with Nancy Pelosi 98.4% of the time, because Nancy Pelosi has only cast 88 out of 1,511 possible votes. This is because in her role as Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi does not actually cast votes unless a bill has a particularly high profile or the vote tally is especially close. Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, on the other hand, has cast 1,482 out of 1,511 votes, setting one of the best attendance records for the 111th Congress. Mathematically speaking, Mary Jo Kilroy can’t possibly have voted with Nancy Pelosi any more than 5.9% (88/1482) of the time.....

OMG!  Stivers is lying again.  Remember when he said he wasn't really a lobbyist. That was also b.s. Everyone knows that Stivers was a highly paid top bank lobbyist with Bank One for over seven years.

* Did you know that Stivers doesn't care about the environment?    He has demonstrated no activity in protecting our environment.  Project Vote Smart:

2006 Based on a point system, with points assigned for actions in support of or in opposition to Ohio League of Conservation Voters's position, Stivers received a rating of 66.

2003 In 2003 Ohio League of Conservation Voters gave Stivers a rating of 0...

That is very pathetic.
