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..
To: MissesBush
This is the ninth thread on the current front page about this.
Wondering how soon the tenth will be posted.

Each article has new and different information. This NY Times piece is the most comprehensive of those posted. I think the most damning too, surprisingly, coming from the Slimes.

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.

HEY...I noted several articles were already posted clown, and went down the front page and counted them. It took me only a few seconds to do so as they are all right there, so shove it.

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.
To: MissesBush
This NY Times piece is the most comprehensive of those posted. I think the most damning too, surprisingly, coming from the Slimes. Blumenthal is a white guy ... he's fair game for the NY Times even though he's a 'rat. It's interesting that when it comes to Obama there is absolutely no curiosity whatsoever ...

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.
To: rockinqsranch; She hits a grand slam tonight
Not to get in the middle of yet another back and forth bicker about "already posted" and its retort, but this nonsense has become tiresome on FR ... both parties have valid points to make about it, but it shouldn't become the main focus of any posts in any given thread (or multitude of similar threads, as it were)
Bandwidth is cheap ... but words, thoughts, and opinions can be very rich .. and isn't that why we're here?
If a similar story has been posted way too many times for the Mods to stomach, then they'll sort it out on their terms ... otherwise, enjoy the banter as it comes, and don't ever feel intimidated by the self-proclaimed FR Posting Police
Nuff Said,

On a less serious matter, another flattering but untrue description of Mr. Blumenthals 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?

So what? He survived boot camp like thousands of others. Semper Fidelis doesn’t include lies.
To: MissesBush
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.

This is the ninth thread on the current front page about this. Wondering how soon the tenth will be posted.This is the kind of brazen Democrat lying that can't be bumped enough.
I hope there ends up being 20 threads.
BUMP!
