Merry Christmas Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, please know that some people are still fighting for and supporting you

Nice sentiment but I doubt they have internet privileges. However, if someone came up with their mailing addresses I'd bet more than one of us would send them actual cards and letters of support. It would make a good separate thread if someone had the information available.

Of course they don't have internet privileges, they're in solitary confinement - 23 hours per day in a 6 X 10 cell. You can donate through this page: http://lonestartimes.com/2008/08/05/please-donate-to-help-patty-compean-monica-ramos/

Edd Hendee and KSEV radio has been doing a saint's work helping them and their families. Thanks for aksing for the info!

Conservatives will always point out the drug dealers and other low lifes that did get pardoned by GW Bush. Just for that he would be smart to pardon them

GW Bush couldn't care less what you or any other conservative thinks of him. Like his father he has contempt for Americans generally and conservative Americans in particular.

Very perceptive. What you call contempt I call a spoiled frat boy attitude. An East Coast Brahmin attitude that the Bush family is loftily above the unruly American peasants they rule from time to time

Bush also showed that contempt by nominating non-entity Harriet Meiers. Who has since slid into deserved anonymity
