Paul no longer the only Republican Military Candidate

[newbitech]

With Rick Perry jumping in, Ron Paul now has competition on the military argument.

This puts a dent in my strategy, and will make it harder for me to sway some people.

I was actually gaining a pretty good foothold with that line.

 

[Johncjackson]

He's still the only conservative ex-military.

 

[Elwar]

This just means that the issue will be brought up.

How about, "Ron Paul is the only candidate with military experience who doesn't want to inject your kids with dangerous, untested vaccines"

...I've got a million of these!

 

[brushfire]

Wasn't Huntsman in the military as well? That'd be 3 then - with only 1 who actually honors his oath.

 

[Pro-Life Libertarian]

Gotta make sure we don't say he is the ONLY candidate with military experience.

Both have the rank of Captain.

I don't think Perry is a combat vet though. He stayed stateside

Only one of them was Al Gore's campaign chairman in Texas.

LOL! I saw this exact line on twitter, only it went "Paul is no longer the only Republican military candidate in the field. Only, Perry sucks."

 

[KingRobbStark]

LOL! I saw this exact line on twitter, only it went "Paul is no longer the only Republican military candidate in the field. Only, Perry sucks."

Hahahah lol

 

[Jingles]

I had absolutely no idea Perry ever served in the military.

 

[KurtA]

Perhaps the line, "The only heterosexual, non-philandering military candidate"?

Apparently Perry is pretty well known in Texas for jumping in and out of bed with all sorts of people - male and female. It's kind of a Lewinsky secret. But I expect the story to break eventually, and then you can go back to just, "the only former military candidate".

I don't think Perry is a combat vet though. He stayed stateside

article is "enhanced sappy" according to we USAF vets,

Rank: captain
Hometown: Haskell
Crew job: C-130 aircraft commander
Served in the Air Force: 1972 to 1977

His story: Way back before he was governor of Texas, Rick Perry had two choices as a young member of the Air Force.



He could either follow his dream and work toward becoming an instructor pilot in the sleek T-38, or he could fly the hulking C-130, planes that affectionately were referred to as "trash haulers" by Perry and his cohorts.
"It was one of the great adventures of my life," Perry said. "I had a fairly pedestrian life until I was 23 years old."
Perry could count on one hand the number of trips he had taken out of his home state by the time he graduated from Texas A&M University, but everything changed when he joined the Air Force.
Flying C-130s, Perry lived in Germany and Saudi Arabia. He flew in Central and South America, North Africa and all over Europe.
"I saw all of these different types of governments and I made the connections to how the people acted and looked, and it became abundantly clear to me that, at that particular point in time, that America was this very unique place and that our form of democracy was very rare," Perry said. " ... That was the greatest gift I received from my years of being in the military, and they really shaped my outlook on the rest of my life."
Perry retired from the Air Force in 1977 — but not without one last adventure.....
