2012 ELECTION

Perry's new campaign poster.



Every time someone who has served in the military is running against someone who has not (or was not actively serving in the field), it becomes a part of the campaign strategy by the military man. Not serving didn't stop Clinton and Obama from getting elected. Dedicating many years of his life to military service didn't seem to help McCain in his 2008 bid for presidency (neither did choosing Palin as his running mate, imo). Different players, same game.

Anyway, I think this poster is unoriginal, but interesting. I wonder if it or its message will benefit Perry in any way. I highly doubt it.

Its good to see that the voters are starting to realise that having a career in the military doesn't mean you will be any good at running the country, having done military service means you were a good soldier nothing more.

The fact so many ex-squaddies end up on the employment scrapheap is further proof of this.
