(Moran) Dem Candidate to Veteran: Military Service Isn't Public Service

Twenty-four years in the military doesn't count as public service, at least according to Virginia Democratic Congressman Jim Moran.

In a video that's gone viral online, Moran is heard telling a Democratic gathering earlier this month that his opponent, Republican Patrick Murray, is just another unqualified GOP candidate.

"What [Republicans] do is find candidates, usually stealth candidates, that haven't been in office, haven't served or performed in any kind of public service," Moran said. "My opponent is typical, frankly."

The trouble is, Murray is a retired Army colonel with 24 years of service--including combat in Iraq. The idea that such an extensive military record doesn't qualify as "public service" has left a sour taste in Murray's mouth.

LOL I didn’t shake his hand. I should have let the daughter though...about the time he was near us was when she realized that the grass she’d been sitting in also had a spot of eagle poo, and she was wiping her rear like mad, until I pointed out that the poo was then on her hand too...then she started that little girl squealy eww eww eww thing. :) To this day, I’ve tried every laundry thing I could get my hands on, from Borax to Shout to that Billy Mays stuff, and those shorts still have an eagle poo stain.

Well, the lady that was telling my wife how nice it was to be working for the government didn't get the memo about working for the government being service to anyone. According to her, “It a goot job that pay well and has lossa time off wit not a lot of stuff to do every day”.

No one who ever served in any branch of the military would describe their service that way.

Eagles have a HIGH CALCIUM diet ~ which means you are up against cement ~ not just a stain.

Thanks markomalley. This is a stupid statement by this Demwit jackass anyway -- where do first-time candidates get experience? By being elected. Which political parties have first-time candidates? All of them. Does he really expect anyone (besides the zombies who vote straight-dhimmicrat) to be swayed by this specious and idiotic claim?

Jim Moran: "What [Republicans] do is find candidates, usually stealth candidates, that haven't been in office, haven't served or performed in any kind of public service," Moran said. "My opponent is typical, frankly."
