Titus Lies In Advertisement

Dina Titus, PhD put out an ad the other day and I had a hard time believing it. http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2010/08/is-dina-titus-telling-truth-in-her.html
Well, it turns out that Dina (I never had a real job in her life) Titus was telling a whopper of a lie.
In the ad, one of Titus's actors/homeowners in the commercial says that Titus voted against the bank bail bill, known as TARP.
One slight problem with that: TITUS WASN'T IN CONGRESS WHEN TARP WAS PASSED
From the LVRJ: "Republicans on Tuesday morning lashed out at the ad, specifically questioning how Titus could claim to have voted against the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, since she wasn't in Congress in October 2008, when the $700 billion bank bailout bill was approved. She actually cast a vote in a subsequent measure to block the release of the second $350 billion in TARP money. But that vote was symbolic only, as the money was already cleared for release."

I don't blame the homeowner in the ad- she was probably given a script and she read from it. But it is highly unethical to say you did something but it turns out you weren't even in the position to do it.
When my kids lie to me, most of the time, it wasn't even necessary to lie to stay out of trouble. This is what happened here. The quote about her voting on TARP really didn't have anything to do with the commercial and the commercial message would not have changed had she not said it. She did not have to lie and the commercial would have been just as strong.
Is this something Titus teaches in her classes when she was a professor at UNLV? Further, how desperate do you have to be to say such a thing.
But when you lack real life experiences, these things will happen.
