#4 Not the person we want in Washington. We have too many already who will say anything to get elected.

#5 the left is already trying to cover his tracks. Marc Ambinder at the Atlantic says "the facts are not unambiguous". When you have to speak that doublespeak to try and cover for a clear lie, you are also a tool, Marc. F*ck you and lying Blumenthal

#6 A democrat who lies? Say it ain't so!

And that is what this is. Not 'misquoted' or 'misspoken' - the guy L-I-E-D.

#7 Remember it's how he feels not about facts for his real constituents. And that's why they'll still vote for him, because that's their standard to adjudge a person. He's just the poster child for their shallowness and be sure to watch them reaffirm that.

#8 For his super Blue constituency he may be better off to have lied about Vietnam service than to have actually been there.

#9 IMHO he may have mis-spoke but intentionally did not correct himself. It was only after confronted with the facts that he "corrected" the statement.

#10 Facts, why should facts get in the way. Unless you want to be allowed to enter an auditorium where the President is speaking, then you have to show your papers. How ironic.
