    Mountain SS vs. Ultimate Shadow SS

    This should be a great topic of debate. I like both these rifles. I like the 700 Mountain SS because it comes in 280 (and all it's other features). I like the 24 inch barrel on the 70 Ultimate shadow SS (and it's other features). I think they have most of what I want, short of a custom job...

    Obama can't say a word without a lie

    First Geitner this morning, untruth after untruth. He just goes on and on with his lies. Then this afternoon Obama comes on and points his finger and just keeps the lies going. Will anyone ever call these folks as they are? There is no doubt, he will say anything to get what he wants. If...

    Time well spent? Obama is #1.

    Obama and outright lies (AARP)

    How many times will he lie and do what ever he needs to do? It seems never ending. This is just one of many. The aarp says his claim of them being on board with his health care reform is not accurate. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/12/obama-claim-aarp-endorsement-inaccurate/ The...
