  2. SB

    Apologies for the Any Mouse posting but there are reasons.

    I note lots of Officers in your list and more power to them, but where are the Raggy-Arses to give balance?

  3. Scott Taylor, a former Navy SEAL, is running for Congress in District 1 in Virginia. He should be on your list. He seems like a good guy, and I sent him $50 a few days ago. We all know SEALs won't quit. His website is:

  4. I wish I could say I was surprised that there are no combat vets from MD running, but I'm not. Good luck to those mentioned.

  5. Not to throw cold water on any of this, but let's recollect that being a veteran, even a combat veteran, hasn't necessarily always been an indicator of good political judgment ... anyone recall John Murtha or John McCain? Neither of whom performed terribly well for conservatives.

    Though I will give them the courtesy of listening to them more closely than the rest. They've earned that much.
