Blumenthal should have pulled a Sestak [View All]

Richard Blumenthal, who was caught "misspeaking" about his military service should have pulled a Sestak and said that anyone who questions his military service is a person employing swiftboat type tactics.

He should not of released his records, which include multiple deferments, like Sestak refused to release records to clear up allegations of being relieved of duty for poor command climate, stated in a July 2005 Navy Times article. I wonder why he didnt just do what Sestak did and not release them, then question those who take issue with his claim as swiftboaters? Seems like a real good candidate. How did the GOP get this guys service records????

If he released them, ive gotta give the guy that much credit unlike Sestak who could have easily released them to solve the matter once and for all. Maybe he released them a long time ago. Nonetheless, i wouldnt ride the guy too hard, as he did serve in the Marine Corps Reserves.
