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.

If Jimmuh hadn’t done the typical dim stunt, moron’s crowd would still be in Canada “doin’ the manly thing - running”.
Thanks for posting the John Glenn remarks. That’s one thing he really got right.
I provide medical services to many Veterans in my practice.
They are mostly wonderful human beings. I am so grateful to them for what they have done for our country and our freedom that I provide them the very best care I am capable of. I see this as my patriotic duty. They have earned it.
If this dumbocrat a$$hole moran came into my practice I would really have a hard time complying with my Hippocratic oath.
Translation: Murray actually held a job in the real world:
Murray was raised in Oklahoma by a single mother. He first began work at the age of 14 to help pay his family's bills. He attended Oklahoma State University, which he paid for through a combination of working part time, student loans, and a stipend from the Veterans Administration owing to his father's service in World War II. While attending college, Murray enlisted in the ROTC program and received an ROTC scholarship.[1]

God bless our veterans and service members who sacrifice SO MUCH (and especially the survivors of those who gave all) so morons like this can enjoy the freedom of speech to reveal this level of ignorance. Wow.
Hey Jimmy boy, in a week you’ll be out of work, so why don’t you just STFU and go out shopping for a good set of golf clubs or something. And another thing, DO NOT MOVE TO FLORIDA. Go infect Cuba or someplace similar that fits your ideology.
/rant/sarcasm;)
LMAO!!!:)
Is he sure his name isn’t pronounced moron?
He’s right. Military service is honorable service that has the respect and gratitude of the American people.
Public service long ago degenerated into a refuge for the incompetent and/or greedy justifying its existence by how much it impedes or hassles the American people.
I hope the colonel knocked it out of the park!
Jim, Moran needs to spend 6 months at Quantico.
Effing Idjit!
Despicable, of course, but this prototypical drunken political hack undoubtedly will be sent back to Congress by all the latte-drinking Prius drivers in the 8th district which is about 1/2 hour out of DC proper. They have to, as their livelihoods depend on his slaying the pork and carting it back home.
I hope go God not — one can only pray.
the opposing candidate resume notwithstanding, the fact that a Constitutional Republic, designed to be administered by citizen representatives, has morphed into a professional lawyer/liar class of groomed pols is disgusting...
Im thinking of running a 'stealth' campaign for natl office...i just need $$$ for one big commercial production to restore the founding...why do we not hear this EVER ???
“..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.” ...
What Democrats do is find Marxists, usually stealth communists, who pretend to be human beings so they can get elected and then intentionally deceive the electorate and betray their country at the first opportunity.
What a POS.
Moran...Moran...isn’t this the defective donkey jackwad spermatozoa that was over befriending /consorting with / providing aid and comfort to Saddam Hussein or Momar Qadafy some years back? He was with one other interchangeable/replaceable Demcom buttwipe too, but the name escapes me...
Typical douchebag commie traitor dem-rat (I know...redundancy alert).
