Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Non-Political Comments Only

Come on eyeball...Palin is of your own making and now you are forced to live with her, and who knows....She could be presidential or vice-presidential. Well, maybe not but lets encourage her all that we can!


I will let you know about that hunting spot in 2 weeks. I want to make sure the check clears first.

Nice stock.. Ever think about some polish so she shines a bit?

Sorry Bob. I got carried away. I had thought nwa had improved his lot in life by sucking off a glock.

Carry on.

It don't need polish.

I am like you and want Christia, Giulliani, or McCain in. Heck, I am on board with you and supporting Hillary Clinton if she ever changes her voter registration to Republican since she would be a front runner for GOP nominee. Would be quite a wild thing to see her as a keynote speaker at Friends of the NRA rallies if she ever did that one little thing.

5th graders like shiney chitt. Some are enamored with afro-sheen.

Where's the pictures of your firearms walt?

Yeah, they are.

So Bob, seems Cruz doesn't represent your values. Who does?

Would it be considered political if I called that .270 gay...?

Hell no!
When they start puting rifling in the barrels of 270's, they can consider starting being considered as rifles. Until then 270's are a small caliber slug. YMMV

No.

If you called it .270 obama,then it would be political.

Bob would love Cruz to be the man. He just doesn't believe it can happen. That's where he's wrong.

Ted Cruz wins Republican runoff for Texas Senate seat

Former state solicitor general Ted Cruz, a tea party-aligned conservative once regarded as a long-shot candidate, has won the Republican runoff in Texas, where he will be the GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate in the November election. The Associated Press has called the race for Cruz over Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. Cruz will be a heavy favorite over Democratic nominee Paul Sadler, who also won a runoff on Tuesday.

Cruz, an emerging conservative star whose father emigrated to the United States from Cuba, has drawn comparisons to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and has been lauded by national conservative political pundits and groups for over a year. His victory is a major blow to the Republican establishment in Texas, which lined up squarely behind Dewhurst. It�s also a victory for the tea party and national conservatives who lined up behind Cruz even when a surprise win appeared unlikely.

In other elections held on Tuesday, state lawmaker Pete Gallego won a Democratic runoff in Texas�s 23rd District over former Rep. Ciro Rodriguez. Gallego will face freshman Republican Rep. Quico Canseco in a battleground race this November. Meanwhile, vulnerable Democratic Rep. John Barrow will have to wait until Aug. 21 to find out who his Republican opponent will be in Georgia�s 12th District, with the GOP primary headed to a runoff. Barrow is running on more conservative turf than in the past, due to redistricting.

Cruz�s win is a remarkable political feat and arguably the Senate upset of the cycle. In early 2011, when Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison announced her intention to retire, observers regarded Dewhurst as a virtual shoo-in to take her place in the upper chamber. Dewhurst is very well-known in Texas, enjoys immense personal wealth, and enlisted the help of Gov. Rick Perry�s top political hands. Perry endorsed Dewhurst during the campaign.

But in a multiple-candidate primary election that also included former Dallas mayor Tom Leppert on May 29, Dewhurst was unable to cross the crucial 50 percent threshold, managing just 45 percent of the vote to Cruz�s 34 percent.

Once the two-month overtime period was triggered, Cruz seized on new momentum. He outraised Dewhurst 3-1 in the first third of July and brought in an impressive cast of national conservative stars to stump with him during the closing weekend of the campaign. Sarah Palin and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who both endorsed Cruz�s candidacy, campaigned for him Friday in the Houston area.

While Dewhurst was extremely well-funded, a crucial national ally helped Cruz keep pace on the expensive Texas television airwaves. The anti-tax Club For Growth spent $5.5 million on independent expenditures to help the underdog pull off the upset. Despite their buy-in, Dewhurst and his allies still outspent Cruz and his allies on the air during the final week of the runoff campaign.

Cruz also performed well during early voting for the runoff, which took place last week. During the early voting period leading up to the May primary, it was Dewhurst who performed best.

The preparation paid off, considering Cruz�s overall margin of victory. With 48 percent of precincts reporting, he led Dewhurst 55 percent to 45 percent, according to the AP.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, congratulated Cruz on his win and added that the candidate �and his team ran a remarkable race and this is a well-deserved and well-earned victory.�

With a full slate of competitive Senate primaries on tap in August, look for other insurgent Republicans like Sarah Steelman and Rep. Todd Akin in Missouri, Mark Neumann and Eric Hovde in Wisconsin, and Clark Durant in Michigan, to try to seize on Cruz�s momentum in the coming weeks.

Are you claiming to hava a 270 with a rifled barrel I'm intrigued. Surely it's a custom, tell me more. It looks nice but I'd assumed it was smooth bore. I'm currently gitting into bullet casting. If you buy the mold I'll pour you some rifled slugs for it. Let me know.

Christie is so tainted that pretty much anybody else has a better chance of winning the primary. Palin could beat him. Opposing PAC just has to run that pic of him hugging Obama, and the NRA will slaughter him.

With the current group, I'd guess Walker vs Jeb in the primary. Then Jeb for the loss versus almost any Dem.

the NRA will give him support and a venue just like they did Giulliani, Romney, McCain, and others.

Walker is a good candidate, but there are many more. Remember, he is only considered conservative in a very liberal part of the country. Our goal is to promote the most conservative candidate that can win. At this particular point, the most conservative candidate is the most electable. Unfortunately, the big money doesn't want anything to do with what the tax payers need.
