Lie or Misspoken
 
Blumenthal on tape in his own words had said that he had served in Vietnam. Also in his own words he said, he was spit upon when he returned.

He also claims that he was a swim coach at Harvard of which he never was.

How say you?

Not sure it matters, he's doomed.

That being said, I don't buy his public explanation today. My six year old probably understands the difference between being in a war and serving during a war.

Hell...Kerry got whacked for it and he even was shot at!

You forgot:

George Bush: Iraq has WMDs and is helping Al Qaeda.

Bush and Cheney: We do not torture.

Cheney: We have not illegally monitored Americans.

...or did I get off topic by listing things that actually have an effect on the American public?:devil2:

Just wanted others to add to the list.

Richard Nixon: Knew nothing about Watergate

LIE....... it is a disgrace to the men who served and never wanted ANY recognition or said a peep about it.

When I read the first post, I laughingly said to myself, "Depends on which party he is in as to whether he lied or not" to most. I love the battle as to which party has more pathological liars, career thieves, and covert murderers. People, what all of them have done is wrong. Your party is not better than the other because you have less criminals.

He will pay with his job. It will also open up another possible seat for a republican, that otherwise would have stayed democrat. Anti-incumbency fever is taking over. I can't wait for the fall. The mid-terms will be electric.

:claps:

yes, and apologists line up on either side.

Throw all the bums out. Liars, thieves, whoars, opportunists, unqualified connected bastages. It gets pretty sickening when gazed from the 30,000 foot view.

I know nothing of this guy so for all I know he could be the same sheeple in wolve's clothing but I loved seeing this:

And if things do move more R and there is the same crappiness the flip will happen again just as fast. We don't need this polarization, we need leadership. Who was our last leader?

He wasn't even on the swim team, let ALONE WAS ITS CAPTAIN.

I can tell you he's nobodies lunch meat, and love him or hate him,
he's fulfilling his campaign promises and not backing down on
cutting programs to get the State out of debt.

I like what Fred Thompson said about Blumenthal, "He's a weasley liar".
Isn't it strange how things have come full circle with Vietnam.
We had John Kerry throwing "somebodys" ,medals at the White House in protest of that war, saying that our GIs were marching around Vietnam like Ghengas Kahn, now we have people lying about having served in that war, even talked about how he was "abused" when he came back.
Politics are a never ending source of entertainment & amusement, just wish these people weren't our "leaders".
