If there’s a dark-horse candidate to watch in the ridiculously crowded GOP field to replace outgoing Congressman Lamar Smith, it could be William Negley.
Like most of the 18 Republican candidates in the U.S. District 21 race, Negley has never held elective office. Unsurprisingly, he has low name recognition and only two months to spread the word about his candidacy. In an early December poll commissioned by Fight for Tomorrow, a national Super PAC, Negley registered the support of only 0.7 percent of Republican voters in the district, placing him eighth among the candidates who ultimately filed.

Just think about it. No one could reasonably say how tough it is being an LGBTLMNOP. The retort for that is, tell me how tough you had it. I lived in a rat infested swamp for 8 years, fighting off every parasite known to man while protecting your right to wear feather boas and run around San Francisco in assless chapsacting like a drama queen.
Yes, you should always pick a veteran over anyone else.
Veterans like
Charles Whitman
Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols
Lee Harvey Oswald
David Berkowitz
Dennis Rader
John Allen Williams
What we need are people who side with the citizens and the rule of law.
We currently have just 4 Senators and maybe 50 House members that side with US.
“Veterans like

All sick people. Of course you can have Obama, Clinton, Schultz, Harris, Feinstein or any of the other whacked out liberals who don’t kill a few, but kill thousands with their left wing agenda.
It is pure bigotry to stereotype a group of people based upon some, or even many, of that group. And that is what the original post did.
To say, ‘all I need to know is that X is a veteran or that Y is a lawyer’ shows a simplemindedness that probably should stay out of the voting booth.
If you aren’t willing to research the issues (and the purported stand of the candidate on the issue), you should pass by that election.
Yes but an XX vet trumps an XY lawyer
None of them ever ran for office....
Well, go out to the garage and dust off your McCain signs.
Odd, I never saw him on your list.....Did u use an extra small font?
As a side note, you know EXACTLY what he was saying, you just want to be an argumentative dick........
Yes, I didn't say he was inarticulate. (If you don't know what that word means, hire a lawyer to explain it to you). He was quite clear in what he said: "I think all of us should promote voting out the lawyers and voting in Veterans. "
you just want to be an argumentative dick........
Since you started in on me, and not me with you, perhaps you might buy a mirror so you wouldn't need an explanation on that.
Always the exception - any reason to harp on the exception in regards to Negley? I know nothing about him, so I can’t say but I guess you are right in that just being a veteran doesn’t = conservative and honest, but the odds go up dramatically - there’s a couple vets like Ollie North and Colonel West that come to mind off the bat.
...or Jeremiah Denton, Duncan Hunter, Duane Duncan Hunter, Tom Cotton, etc. It is always a good idea to have people in the GOP who have walked the walk.
I don’t have any issue with what you have posted. And the guy he’s voting for may be the perfect candidate.
But to choose a candidate based on nothing more than “He’s a vet” or the equally bad “He’s running as a Republican”? One that would do that really shouldn’t be voting at all.
You are correct - using a single, non-relevant litmus test doesn’t make sense. I was just being ornery because of the negative examples you used even though they were very valid points.
