How would you react if your most trusted politician had suddenly lied in one of his speeches. Not just an ordinary lie but a lie that could destroy her career.

This is what happened to Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal who is now running for a Senate seat. In one of his speeched in 2008 in Norwalk, he said that he served during the war in Vietnam.

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal Vietnam service claim was a big lie. He had never served in Vietnam and in fact he had avoided every chance he had to served an active service during war.

“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam. And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support,” this were the exact words when Attorney General Blumenthal Vietnam service was first brought into the light.

The revered Attorney General was a former Republican who is now running as a Senator under the Democratic Party. Observers say that Blumenthal was regarded as an honest to goodness politician without a taint of bad record during his public service. However, it seems that this issue will be dragged during the campaign.

One of his possible opponents, Republican primary candidate former Rep. Rob Simmons is using the issue of Richard Blumenthal Vietnam service in his favor and against her closest rival in the Republican primary, Linda McMahon.
