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.

Contrary to any rational thinking person, Moran is playing to his useful idiot base, also known as the typical democrat voter (Hint:There are a lot of them unfortunately).

Jim Moran can kiss our asses.Better people than him have died so he can express his lame opinions,too bad he can’t come up something more intelligent to say.

So, under this reasoning, Frosh Senator Barack Obama is qualified and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower isn’t.

Yep. Unfortunately, that's the logic of most voters these days. Right is wrong and left is right...
Moran has done his job - he has brought back the pork to his district. It really is as simple as that. Self interest and greed rule. End of story.

As far as I’m concerned, until the Senator has performed his military service, nothing in his experience QUALIFIES for public service. Don’t pass Go, return to sender, address unknown, not a true American citizen with any virtue.

Of course only those who have been elected and then entitled to to pissing away our tax dollars are public servants. You betcha.
