NASHVILLE, Tenn. - President Bush sharply challenged critics of his stalled immigration-overhaul efforts on Thursday, suggesting that failure to pass a guest-worker program could trigger a labor shortage in the United States.
At a town-hall style meeting, Bush also rebuffed a question about whether he would consider pardoning two Border Patrol agents in prison for the cover-up of the shooting of a drug trafficker in Texas.
"No, I won't make you that promise," Bush told a woman who asked about a possible pardon. Many Republicans in Congress have said the men should not have been convicted and have criticized the federal U.S. attorney for even prosecuting the agents.
"I know it's an emotional issue but people need to look at the facts. These men were convicted by a jury of their peers after listening to the facts" as presented by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, said Bush. Bush called Sutton a friend.

“These hate Bush threads are as bad as or worse than anything Ive seen on DU.”
Did I miss something?
I’m sure I have read this thread from top to bottom a number of times and I have yet to see anyone saying they “hate Bush”.
Who’s hating Bush???

Everyone kept telling me to campaign and vote for him because he WOULD do something after the election. You know, he simply couldn't take everything on after 9/11.
Now his robe-kissers say Bush always said the same thing and that we were supposed to know. After all, 9/11 changed nothing, right?
I’m not low, I have so many that I can’t find what I want anymore! Need to get rid of any that aren’t good ones.
Hmmm, James Bond doesn’t fit many categories, lol.
I’m so ready for 08.
Really. I haven't started sticking voodoo pins in the dolls I have... yet.
The few remaining supporters don't like when people call him Jorge or Boosh (not saying you or anyone did, just guessing).. even though Bush's company name is Arbusto something or other.

Did I miss something? Im sure I have read this thread from top to bottom a number of times and I have yet to see anyone saying they hate Bush. Whos hating Bush???
You're joking right?
Bush is portrayed as a sort of Mexican Devil torturing border agents, portrayed as a Monkey , "curious George" called stupid, and having a serious "learning disability".... (as the Dems have characterized him since 2000)...and you don't consider any of that "hateful". LOL

Give it a rest, Whore-Hey.
Yeah, that is out of control. They truly are blinded by hate and have been for so long now. I heard some caller on C-Span yesterday saying something about Hitler and Bush and I tuned him out. That’s insane.
The liberal love, I can just feel it... And the sad thing is - they don’t realize how much closer Bush is to the Clintons than the general public knows.
I consider calling the Minutemen “vigilantes” as hateful.
Such an intriguing mixture of a strawman argument with the fallacy of the complex question. I must have hit a nerve for you to react with a load like that.
In the spirit of your own post, what is about lying and slander that appeals to you? Is it your hobby, or are you afflicted with a compulsion that you can't control? I can see why you admire Sutton, you see your own reflection in him.
