Candidate’s Words on Vietnam Service Differ From History


There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.


Politicians lie thats a given, but do they not realize that they will be caught eventually are they that daft?

Blumenthal fallout has immediate impact; Murphy seen as replacement candidate

A New York Times report Monday night that Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal had lied about serving in Vietnam had pundits and pollsters across the nation speculating about the impact that it will have on an already tough mid-season election for Democrats.




Looks like the Dems are already looking to replace him,

He is running For Christopher Dodds vacated seat

This story continues to develop I am surprised its not being discussed more here on ATS.

Richard Blumenthal tries to answer Vietnam questions

Above is a blog entry..

For me this is not about party its about Harvard and Yale type elites that think they have the right to rule us no matter how much they lie cheat and steal. They are all scum no matter what party.
During the time this guy was getting 5 deferments from Vietnam my father was serving 2 of his 3 tours. Supervising the Toys for Tots program ( I have no problems with the program ) is a far cry from being on the front line in Ahn Khe or Khe San.

Freaking politicians just make me physically sick anymore...

Sadly, and as predicted:

Dems continue to back a liar.



article

DSCC Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said Tuesday Democrats “will continue to support” embattled candidate Richard Blumenthal in his bid to become the next senator from Connecticut.

Menendez's declaration of support comes just hours after it was revealed Blumenthal had been untruthful about his Vietnam service record in a New York Times story that broke late Monday night.

"I think he's corrected the record in the past and I think his actions as it relates to standing up for veterans over a long period of time speaks volumes about where his heart and his actions are"


Trouble is that his "heart" says it is OK to lie about fundamental parts of his past and record, and his "actions" say that he followed where his "heart" has led him.

But the problem with the dems is that all of that is OK as long as it helps them win a Senate seat.

And you know what the dems would be hypocritically saying if this person was a Republican.

As the communist/democrat manifesto states: the ends justify the means ...

So this creep lies about something "fundamental" and now is dancing
around in circles to make it right. As a real Vietnam veteran in 66-67-68,
I take offense at what he has done. If he has to lie about this, and say
he went where his heart sent him, think about what else he will do to
lie to the country if this liar is voted into office. If this is the type of heart
he has, then we don't need him, regardless of what party he a part of.
