Blumenthal defeated Linda McMahon, 55 to 43 percent. Unfortunately, the 58,000 young men and women who died in Vietnam never had a chance to vote against him.


What does this tell you about Connecticut voters that they would elect someone who lied about Vietnam service. And did they re-elect him? Conn. must be a liberal hell hole.

Blumenthal should be relentlessly protested, shouted down and shamed at every public appearance.

Anyone and everyone appearing before him ought to show him no respect.

The arrogant a-hole has no integrity, no conscience, and no shame or he wouldn't appear in public, let alone serve in the US Senate, so we should actually make an effort to hound him via Twitter and letters to editors of CT newspapers.

In the New England states, is there any lie or crime too egregious that will get you elected out of office?

Leave a woman to down in a car? Have an escort service run out of your home? Lie about your ethnic origin to get a plum position at an Ivy League school? Lie about your military service?

I guess not.

Convince the Senate to expell this fraud.

They won't. If they did then every senator would be afraid of someone uncovering the lies they have been living.

We used to call people like that punk pictured above “PX Rangers”, the guys who would go to the PX, buy badges, tabs and ribbons and add them to their uniform. An Air Force E-7 with three CIBs? C’mon!

There was a young guy (19 y.o.) in my basic training company who decided to promote himself to Command Sergeant Major and added all manor of ribbons and badges to his class A uniform immediately after graduation from basic. He didn’t even make it out of the airport before he was apprehended by MPs, put in the stockade and court-martialed. He got time in Leavenworth, which would make a good home for a POS like Blumenthal.

If this were a Republican thief of valor attacking a Democrat president, the Republican would be torn apart in a day.

But since this guy is a Leftist, lying traitorous bastard his is allowed to lead what he thinks will be a lynching.

Where are our battlers in the Congress? Oh yes...they are aligned with the Leftists.

For 30 years, Senator Blumenthal had been living a lie; a virtual Homeric tale with him as the hero serving with the Marine Corps in Vietnam until he was outed by the New York Times in 2010,

-----

Blumenthal should be impeached for committing high crimes and misdemeanors which includes: violating the Stolen Valor Act of 2013,
I can't be the only one that sees the problem here.

I’m a Vietnam vet. I spent a very short time in Saigon just passing through. I never will understand why there are Vietnam vets and Vietnam ERA vets. I certainly understand the difference between combat vets and RE guys. But they all served during a time of war and all got the national defense medal.

I knew lots of WWII guys who never left the states. They were all WWII vets as far as I was concerned.

During the Vietnam era I went through Basic and AIT on active duty and then served six years in the Army Guard and Army Reserve principally in an Infantry Support Battalion. I was a Mess Sergeant and rose to Staff Sergeant.

I considered those that had served in combat areas as having bona fide credentials I did not have. I look at my son’s six years in active duty Army from 2002 to 2008 with service in Korea, Afghanistan, Qatar, and other sand-box areas. His uniform looks a lot more interesting than mine and I respect its merit and his.

Thanks for your service.

He was in violation of the first Stolen Valor Act of 2005, but that was thrown out by the Supreme Court in 2012. You probably can’t get him on anything, sadly. They could say the first law he violated was thrown out and the second one would be considered retroactive. Looks like the scumbag is going to have a long stay in Congress unless the people of CT toss him out and they elected him knowing he was a lying sack of you know what.

I’ve always held those who served in combat as a notch above.

Except those WW II guys. I never asked where they served. I just knew they helped save the world.

The first person ever impeached by the House was a Senator.

The Senate told to them to eff off, but then went ahead and expelled him.
