Kucinich More Cuckoo Than Normal

You’ve got to give Dennis Kucinich a B for bull crap. He’s always got an excuse as to why he is oppressed and why he is pissed off.

Cleveland Councilman Joe Cimperman hoped to get noticed by showing up with a camera-toting campaign worker two weeks ago at the Lakewood congressional office of his rival, Rep. Dennis Kucinich.Instead, Cimperman got the unwanted attention of federal authorities, who questioned him this week about the visit.

Kucinich, who is trying to defend his seat against Cimperman and three other Democrats in the March 4 primary, asked a federal agency to investigate the camera stunt, saying it broke federal law.

Kucinich made the request after Cimperman delivered a “missing” poster to his office on Jan. 3. Cimperman was mocking Kucinich for campaigning for president around the country.

He tacked posters featuring pictures of Kucinich to poles near his Detroit Avenue office. They said: “Last seen: Iowa and New Hampshire - anywhere but Northeast Ohio.”

Cimperman entered Kucinich’s office while a campaign worker taped him dropping off one of the posters at the front desk.
“I walked in, asked for Dennis, dropped off the poster and walked out, all in one big motion,” Cimperman said. “I was polite and in there 20 seconds.”

But Kucinich, who is seeking a seventh term to Congress while aggressively running for president, believed the incident violated the privacy of constituents visiting his office.

“The people must have some assurances that their government does not allow individuals to enter the premises and film them while they are seeking federal assistance,” Kucinich’s office wrote in a letter to the Federal Protective Service. An agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, it has law enforcement jurisdiction over government offices.

Wait a minute. People should have a right to privacy while seeking PUBLIC assistance? Huh? I would think if they are seeking PUBLIC assistance that it is the PUBLIC’S business to know who they are and what they are getting. It is our money after all.

If someone wants their business to be private than they should not be taking PUBLIC money or resources. That is unless you are a Marxist who doesn’t think the people have the right to know how government is spending their money because it is really the government’s money anyway and someone who is shirking his duties to gallivant around the country in a hopeless run for President.

Come on Dennis. You don’t really believe this do you? Are you that desperate for attention and to hold on to your power that you will grasp at such pathetic straws?
