But the libtards in Connecticut will probably send this leftist clown to the Senate anyway.

“Candidate’s”? It must feel sickening for the NYT to add “democrat” on the title..

This is the ninth thread on the current front page about this.

Wondering how soon the tenth will be posted.

Heck, for a liberal Dem, lying is a resume enhancer ... his polling probably shot up 10-15% since this story broke ....

Jean Kerry wannabe.

[BluH2o]

Bottom line here ... speaking as a Marine from that era ... I give Blumenthal some credit ... he survived boot camp at Parris Island. The rest is all about someone with political ambitions burnishing his credentials and getting carried away in the process. Not unlike 'rats like Kerry & Murtha who actually served in Vietnam, who did much the same thing, by portraying themselves (falsely) as hero warriors.
Then, of course, you have the POS Bill Clinton who managed to avoid the draft by deceit and lies & managed to become POTUS.

and the RATS, take another one in the..............................HA ha!!!

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.

He must be absolutely insane to tell such a blatant lie as a public official about something that's so easy to disprove. It's about as silly as claiming to have played pro ball or having been a skilled heart surgeon.

[Brugmansian]

He says he doesn’t remember how many deferments (5) he received.

No one was that stoned back then. Even people who spent hours thinking they were butterflies or trees sending out roots knew if they were going to Nam or had a deferment and how many they had gotten.

bump & a ping

On a less serious matter, another flattering but untrue description of Mr. Blumenthal’s history has appeared in profiles about him. In two largely favorable profiles, the Slate article and a magazine article in The Hartford Courant in 2004 with which he cooperated, Mr. Blumenthal is described prominently as having served as captain of the swim team at Harvard. Records at the college show that he was never on the team.

I wonder what else might be discovered?

We may have just taken back the Senate.

[tet68]

landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects,

Don’t for a second think he got there all by himself,
somebody with pull smoothed the way.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Hang him out to dry. There’s no wiggle room in the phrase “I served in Vietnam”. If he’s so mentally impaired that he can unintentionally make that clear and colossal a mistake, then he’s obviously too mentally impaired to serve as a Senator (or as a state Attorney General). Much more likely, he’s just a bald-faced liar, which is also a disqualifying characteristic.

[freeangel]

One must prove ones self as a LIAR when one is a true democrat. It shows the public that lying about anything makes no difference to the media or to democratic supporters.
