Hey! Thats a lie, you lying liar!

I am not gonna be posting my political views up on here too much, because honestly, I am not a fan of speaking my mind on politics.  I really don't feel that any of the knowledge that any of us have on the subject is actually true.  I firmly believe that they are ALL lying to us in one way or another.  Sad thought.  I know.  They are in the business of lying and I am sick of trying to decipher the truth from the "blah blah (you guys really buying this shit?) blah blah blah.  But I can't resist this doozy of a WTF. Here is a quote from Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal from some time in the past:

"We have learned something very important since the days that I served in Vietnam" 

But um, hey, Dick, You didn't serve IN Vietnam, did you???

"I volunteered to join the Marine Corps reserves 40 years ago"

But did you actually fight a war IN Vietnam DURING the Vietnam war?

"Now on a few occasions, I have misspoken about my service. And I regret that. And I take full responsibility. But I will not allow anyone to take a few misplaced words and impugn my record of service to our country"

Misplaced words?  Sounds like a lie-de-fucking-LIE to me.  Now if you had said, "When I served in the Vietnam WAR" that would have been misleading, but somewhat true.  Maybe you should have gone with that one, and saved yourself some face.  But by your standards I can go around saying, "In my acting days, when I was in a Broadway play...".  Um no.  No I can't, because I'd be making people think that I was actually IN a Broadway play.  Because that's what I would be fucking telling them.  When in truth I went to acting school and had to walk down Broadway every once in a while.  Just like Richard Blumenthal was in the reserve and never actually went to Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

Personally I don't really care if he fought in Vietnam or not, but I do care that he is manipulating votes by saying he did, and then not even owning up to the lie when he is caught.
