Heh. If he isn’t in trouble this election, he may be in trouble next with so many Dems and their staffers leaving North Virginia in a couple months. ; )
Honor, integrity, accountability, respect, loyalty. Those are the virtues of military service.
Sadly, many public servants have no idea what those words are.
Ask yourself, you stupid politician, what institution do the American people consistently trust and admire over ALL others?
Hmm. Can anyone say Barack Hussein Obama?
In recent years it's become quite obvious to everyone that he's going senile.
So, will they vote for him again? With the Democrats out of power in the House a vote for Moran is a throw-away. That district has usually voted to protect themselves so my guess is this is Moran's last campaign.
there’s a spelling error, it should be MORON
If THIS did not hurt him in January 2006 at a townhall with that pos, john murtha, NOTHING will!
"Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until about a month ago I was Sgt Mark Seavey infantry squad leader, I returned from Afghanistan. My question to you,(applause)"Like yourself I dropped out of college two years ago to volunteer to go to Afghanistan, and I went and I came back. If I didn't have a herniated disk now I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops, three of which have already volunteered to go to Iraq. I keep hearing you say how you talk to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. (applause) The morale of the troops that I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back, despite the hardships they had to endure in Afghanistan.
"And Congressman Moran, 200 of your constituents just returned from Afghanistan. We never got a letter from you; we never got a visit from you. You didn't come to our homecoming. The only thing we got from any of our elected officials was one letter from the governor of this state thanking us for our service in Iraq, when we were in Afghanistan. That's reprehensible. I don't know who you two are talking to but the morale of the troops is very high."
And what was Moran's quick response, you ask?
"That wasn't in the form of a question, it was in the form of a statement. But, uhh... let's go over here." And he took the next question.
The best hope for this yo-yo’s defeat actually lies in the Virginia Assembly. He’s in a safe district that desperately needs to be redrawn to become more competitive.
I “met” him last year. I went to a Bald Eagle Release, not knowing that he was going to be there. I just wanted to see the birds. So I get there, and we are all waiting...and waiting. Finally someone gets up and announces that yes, they are starting late, but Congressman Moran had not yet arrived. He finally decided to show up 45 minutes late, and then set into a talk, which sounded like an election rally for himself...not a scientific talk about bald eagles, which was what I was hoping to expose my children to. Meanwhile, the poor birds were stuck in dog crates, waiting to see the real world...being held up by a huge ego.
Finally he shut up, they released the eagles, which was so beautiful, and then Moran proceeded to walk through the crowd, shaking hands with everyone he could corner, asking where they lived. I was really creeped out.
Anyway, that’s my Moran story. What a moron.
Forgot to mention this. Although his district includes many military installations, it’s not likely that he gets many votes from them (or in his case worry about not getting votes from them). My husband is stationed at the Pentagon, and we live in NoVA, but we vote by absentee ballot in our home of record.
Is that like saying that being a Congressman is not public service or not a used car salesman or thief, etc., Moran moron? =.=
Well as usual Moran proves he is a MORON.
If public service is cheating, stealing and LYING to the public. Then Moran has a point.
If PS is about Leadership, Responsibility, Hard Work, and the willingness to give your life for your fellow Americans, then Moran you are a POS MORON.
this is what Dummies REALLY think about the military.
No one who ever served in any branch of the military would describe their service that way.
