So the Democrat candidate for Arkansas’ 3rd Congressional District, Ken Aden<\/a>, probably encouraged by others in his party who thought they could still win their elections after being found to be liars, in regards to their military service, you know guys like Connecticut’s Dick Bluenthal<\/a>, Aden is still making excuses and throwing fingers at everyone but himself and his campaign. The Arkansas Gazette reports (behind a pay wall);<\/p>\n

Party leaders last week asked Aden to apologize for exaggerating his military record when he claimed to be a Green Beret and to have deployed to Afghanistan. As of Friday, Aden had not returned phone calls to party leaders. Several Democrats in the state Legislature have emailed and called Aden, but none of those queries had been answered either. \u201cI am concerned that candidate Aden has not been forthcoming with the facts surrounding the questions about his education background and military career,\u201d said Tyler Clark, the Washington County Democratic Party chairman. \u201cKen has had several opportunities to present specifics, and the residents of the district are still waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maria Baez de Hicks, vice president of Arkansas Democratic Women and a party committee member, said Aden\u2019s embellishments \u201cseem to be a long pattern of behavior, of lies.\u201d \u201cI believe he has hurt the party and will always be \u2018That Democrat,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cOther Democrats who want to help the community will be hurt by his legacy, by that halo of craziness that surrounds him now. I really hope the party finds a way to remove him from the ballot.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey, Ken, just hang in there a few more months and it will all disappear – you still have a shot, buddy.<\/p>\n

But the dingus who writes at a liberal blog, Esrati<\/a>, in Ohio has completely different advice for Aden and the voters of Arkansas’ 3rd district;<\/p>\n

Kenneth Wade Aden may be a liar, but, as long as we continue to auction off seats in Congress- we\u2019ve got a House full of them.<\/p>\n

My advice to the people of Arkansas 3- tell him to stop campaigning and don\u2019t give him another dime, but go ahead and vote for him and send him to DC- where he\u2019ll either fit right in- or actually make the rest of them so nervous that things may actually change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, vote for him despite the fact that he can’t tell the truth if his life depended on it, so we need more people like that in Congress, just because of their party affiliation. Dingus.<\/p>\n
