No poll watchers in Iowa

The local Democrat was all ready in allow UN observers to influence observe the polls in Iowa, until the Secretary of State pointed out that they can watch from 300 feet away or go to jail. And diplomatic immunity doesn't count as an excuse.

Reenactment not pictured below:

If you note in the first article, Texas also told them to go forth and multiply or spend time in jail, too.

Sad Obama Voter

At Hot Air they had a post about and a mention during the War on Bacon podcast about this article and the sad Obama voter mentioned within. And a photo caption contest for the whiner who can't sleep or workout because of the way the election is going.

Sucks when failures are so public

I like this infographic:

Apparently it offends sad Obama voters, because it was banned from Facebook twice. Sorry about the autoplay video.

The NYT accidentally does some actual journalism

The New York Times published a story about China's Prime Minister that really riled some commie feathers. Now if they only spent 5 minutes on Obama's background in 2008, maybe we would have a different president. Not that Hilary is any less scummy than The One.

Benghazi really was an epic command failure

The more I read about what happened, the more pathetic the video story sounds. This was no random mob. Our guys had target illuminators up to guide the fire they assumed was coming. Fooled them, they were expendable.

1000 6.8 SPC rounds in less than one month

Yeah, I couldn't help myself. I loaded up 100 more last night and lit them off after work. My main goal was to keep them on paper. So now this upper is at 1005 rounds. Since October 2nd. Not my highest round count in one month. The highest 6.8 SPC round count, though. The video explains the target. 50 yards.

Obama loses because of racism

Another seed article out there blaming Bush Romney racism if Obama loses. They measure "implicit" racism, one of those ???? Racism! deals. And the racist polsters use Chinese people as a control group during their studies. They first show a picture of either a white, Hispanic*, or black person, then a Chinese person and rate the response to the Chinese person as a control. So, are they showing pictures of Chairman Mao or Jackie Chan?

*Ethnic group, not race. How exactly does that prove anything? Why don't they show pictures of Italian, Irish, German, Slavic peoples? And Ethiopian, Western African and Southern African people? Where are the Indian (dot not feather) and Persian peoples? Lazy bastards.

And the aftermath

At least I have figured out that if I keep the cases separated at the range, it makes prep easier.

Maybe I don't want an RMR

I've been following 10-8 Performance's use of the Trijicon RMR on his M&P's with great interest. He has broken 3 so far. In under 2000 rounds of standard 9mm per sight. Darn, I thought it would be fun to have a setup like that.

Range trip

I reload 50 or 100 at a time. If I don't go shooting, I use that time to reload 50 or 100 more. So I had built up 250 rounds, plus found some loaded Hornaday V-Max that was on sale. For a little more than the price of brass. So I went out today and finalized sighting the irons, and shot 300 rounds through the PSA 6.8 upper. That brings the total to 905 rounds.

 Hornaday V-Max. 10 shot groups.

 130 grain Speer or Sierra Spitzers. They shoot interchangeably. BUIS at 50. That is a 5 shot group.

 More of the same, I call that a flyer. I have video of how I beat this gun somewhere....

First BUIS group- figured out the stupid thing had loosened up. Tight now.

This is the current configuration. That is a Mako GLR-16 non-recoil reducing stock. It has the option of a cheek piece, which I did not get. Might be useful with a scope. Oh, and a BCM Mod3 charging handle. Only a few bucks more than a standard handle. I see the plus side to adding a second way to charge the gun, and feel it out weights the risk of wearing on the upper. At least the BCM seems to be a solid piece.

It shoots the factory V-Max near the POA of the 130 grain bullets that I am liking very much. 110 grain Prohunter groups opened up quite a bit save for one loading. I did a ladder, it was actually the second lightest load I tried. The 130's shoot like the 120 grain Hornaday SST. I worked a new mag into the rotation- it is a sticky, nondropping turd. And one other mag does not like to seat unless FIRMLY installed. This showed up with 10+ round loadings. Glad I am trying more than just 5 at a time.

Also finished sighting the 11.5 with a standard carry handle. It is so dirty it will not even lock back on XM193. I've lost count how many rounds since I cleaned it- June or so. 1K+ at least. Maybe 1500. Time to clean that one.

I do not know which is more insulting

Obama is now floating a new tax cut scheme. Of course, being a Democrat plan, it is a joke. It is mean to replace the Defunding of Social Security tax cut. So Obama wants to buy votes for an average of $400 per year. Sad.

And it would only be for a year. Pathetic. Democrats (especially) cannot just let a tax cut go. It has to be limited to lord over people's heads indefinitely. Does anyone in that party really understand how real life works? They are used to their groveling minions who get handouts, but people working with a budget or companies planning for the future do not like having to beg the government on a yearly basis for their free lunches. People respond by not spending money. And businesses respond by not hiring people or upgrading- why do it, if in the next year, their tax burden may go up because of government interference?

Hell has frozen over

The Des Moines Register endorsed Romney. Says he has a fresh economic vision. On the other hand, Romney is barely a conservative, and a bunch of wussies like the Register damn sure know it.

Reading on, it boils down to this- okay, us commies have had our fun, but the gravy train WILL end if somebody doesn't slow the economic free fall the the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is in no hurry to stop.
