(CNSNews.com) - Weeks after accusing President Bush of "shameful" behavior over the imprisonment of two Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed suspected drug smuggler along the U.S.-Mexico border, a federal lawmaker turned up the heat further Wednesday, suggesting the president should be impeached if either of the two men is murdered in prison.

Don't say "everybody here". I don't for a minute think that statement is true.

"I am furious that he would leave these border agents hanging while they are being railroaded by a political agenda. Where is the pardon?"

He's left the the entire country hanging for Mexico pick over with his no borders policy and NAFTA trade deals.

Yes he can, if the evidence that is presented to him, which he stated he will examine carefully, warrants it.

But WAIT, there's MORE:

"[DHS Inspector General] Richard Skinner admitted yesterday under oath that his top deputies gave members of Congress false information painting Border Patrol agents [Ramos and Compean] as rogue cops who were not in fear for their lives and who were 'out to shoot Mexicans.'"
-- Rep. John Culberson, R-TX

This story's about to blow like Vesuvius, and when it does, there'll be HELL TO PAY at the DHS.

That's BS. There are a lot of us upset with Bush over this. This particular incident just magnifies the continued weakness in his policy.

This whole boarder agent is a perfect example of why Bush is such an unpopular President. If he were at all politically savvy, he would pardon these guys. Even his own party is against him on this. I think Mexico must have something on Bush.

If you honestly believe that many conservatives are nothing but seminar posters, you are dreaming. Bush has shattered the republican party and it's showing up more and more everyday. 2006 elections should have shown proof of this for you. If things do not change, 2008 is going to be even worse.

>>>Good grief. the president did not prosecute these men. Somebody oughta take a dose of STFU for a bit.<<<

Maybe you should take a dose of STFU for a bit. Have you heard the lies that Bush's 'spokesman' Tony Snow told Sean Hannity last week regarding the trial transcripts? And don't forget that it is the Bush administration that has been lying to congress about the character of the agents, and that it is the Bush administration that has been treating our Border Patrol Agents and the Minutemen as the enemy.

Knowing something and agreeing with it are two different things.

Tony Snow also "spun" Laura Ingraham with his pronouncement that she should "read the transcript" of this trial. Nice Tony! There IS no transcript! Sheesh. They can't even keep up with all the lies.

Get a grip. Every prosecutor in the justice department, every BP agent and supervisor, and every DHS official is not under the direct tutelage and influence of the President. He'd be pretty damn busy overlording the 10s of thousands of cases and prosecutions and acquitals and investigations, now wouldn't he?

So he does the right thing by agreeing to review the case when approached by Duncan Hunter and others, and you think he's the devil for not raising his hand and dismissing it on the spot.

"Who the hell is running this country?"

The corporations that hire illegals and therefore want open borders -- and the politicians who are beholden to them.
