Some thin-skinned, limp-wristed, RINO & Fraud Thompson supporter hit “abuse” and cried to the mods because Pissant struck a nerve with some lightweight’s ego by posting someone ELSE’S article.

Some unfortunate souls cannot handle the truth of their golden child’s actual record and choose instead to build a fraudulent record of “accomplishment” and pretend his own words don’t mean anything....so much for reality. When a candidate says “aspirations of citizenship” in regards to ILLEGAL FELONS, that means he’s “strong on immigration”.

Apparently disagreeing with the media-annointed GLOBALIST RINOs is enough to get you banned nowadays.

FREE PISSANT!

It seems to me that Sutton and DoJ and Homeland Security have exhibited behavior that needs to be prosecuted every bit as much as that of Ramos and Compean.

probably more so....mho

Strange times, Americans live in....very strange times. History has a way, sometimes, of what goes around, comes around. Railroading of Law Enforcement Officers (by our government) is telling of our times and moment in our History, as a Nation. I truly believe these men were railroaded. Why these Men were railroaded, I do not know, other than what I have read. I am only allowed an opinion, till opinions are outlawed. With the coming times, that time may be closer at hand, than I care to think. I pray I am wrong.....

You have one thing on your homepage:

“Duncan Hunter: Bob Dole without the sense of humor or charisma”

No, no bashing and trashing there. Nice shot. Duncan Hunter has more charisma in his toe nail than Thompson has. And he writes his own lines.

"probably more so....mho"

I agree. I was pretending to be objective. The old adage is that "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely." I think the current crop of politicians [from both sides] are proving that adage to be true. When I was much, much younger, I remember hearing Paul Harvey on one of his radio shows say that the freedom our forefathers won is not guaranteed and must be fought for by every subsequent generation. I did not understand at the time what he meant. Now I do. Some of those who would steal away our freedom come from within. Perhaps, they are well meaning. Perhaps not. But those who steal our freedom from within are the most insidious of all.

what liberal media and/or pro-ILLEGAL alien bush admin hype have you bought into.


What I’ve bought into is what Ramos/Compean testified to under oath at their trial, not what some media and others have been spouting.

You may want to spend sometime and read what was admitted to under oath. They aren’t saints by any stretch of the imagination.

Thank You for your reply. I can add nothing of value to your post....Because our Military Men and Women have given their lives for our Freedom, America is still America. I have not yet given my life for America. I may never have the chance to be beside one fighting to protect the Freedoms of this Nation. To our Heroes, who have given their lives, all Americans owe them our all, to continue to protect, and defend this Nation, for the sakes of those having left the bonds of earth.

Americans are a cut above. Our Military is nearly all Volunteers. Americans have a sense of God, Duty, Honor, and Country. I will never believe, in spite of the naysayers, our plight is impossible. Our plight will never be impossible as long as there are the Men and Women of our Military. Their legacy (our Military’s) is far superior to any typed or spoken word. I shed tears when I think of all who have gone before us, to protect, serve, and defend us. I tear up, even now, as I think of those America has lost. But then I raise my head high, and I salute each and every one of these young Men and Women. These young Men and Women are America, and America will not fail as long as America has Men and Women of the caliber each is, inside our Military, protecting our Freedoms.

May God continue to help our Nation, and may America's victory be close at hand. May lives be saved, and may God reward those who have gone before us. As I believe God will do!

May I be strong enough for the times ahead, as I pray all Americans will be strong enough to weather the coming storm. It is not enough to simply believe, sometimes one must step forward and do what must be done. Mr. Duncan Hunter is such a Man....May God protect him and his family and May God protect all Americans.

That's what you've got? loL!

Could you be more specific? I'm not about to sort through pages of transcripts looking for something that may or may not exist simply because you're too lazy to post what it is you're referring to.

At one time most of the R/C supporters acknowledged that they messed up on the reporting, but argued that it was an administrative error that should have just led to a couple day suspension.

Sipe I knew, and someone gave me another BP agent, Gary Brugman, who I haven’t noticed being discussed here before.

Hernandez isn’t a BP agent.

Being a retired USAF pilot [5 yrs. active, 17 yrs. Air Guard] I am touched by your great respect and appreciation for our military. I feel the same. Since my career was spent flying in the sky, closer to God than mortal man, I respect most those who had to defend our country with their face to face encounters, especially those who gave their lives for our country.

Knowing the family hardships involved in deployments, the crass and uncaring attitudes displayed by young affluent anti-military types and self-centered political types is despicable. It is unfortunate that some who enjoy the benefits of freedom the most, appreciate the sacrifices of our military the least.

You do not have to be in the military to serve your country well. Supporting those who do serve, opposing those who would dismantle the military [or mortally weaken it] and praying for our country and our military is honorable and valuable. We need for people to pray for America, because right now there is a movement afoot, spearheaded largely by the ACLU, to remove any reference to God. Few people in combat zones would want any reference to a higher power removed, no matter what their peace time religious beliefs might be.

Sorry, your post did touch me. But, I did not mean to rant. Have a good night. We are approaching this veteran’s bedtime.

Speak for yourself my friend.

OK. I am kidding. And I am going to go to bed before I get struck with a bolt of lightning!

Good night.

For what they are guilty of they should have received adminitrative diciplinary action at best. No way did it warrant a prison term.

Had the U.S. Attorney's Office bothered to conduct a thorough investigation instead of relying upon the assertions of a known drug smuggler, it never would have arrested or prosecuted these agents. Moreover, its withholding and suppression of exculpatory evidence denied both a fair trial.

It is also significant that three of the twelve jurors later submitted sworn affidavits alleging that they had been misled into believing that there could be no dissent in the decision of the jury, and that the minority would have to accede to the will of the majority. Despite this cloud over the propriety of the process, the judge refused to overturn the verdict. These two were shafted by bush and his minions.

Many if not most who support these convictions are die-hard bush lackeys who are unwilling to admit their boy is a worthless POS for allowing these two agents to be prosecuted and jailed for doing their jobs. It's pathetic, really.

Ramos under oath testified he didn’t report the shoot to neither supervisor that was there at the scene when he crossed back over to the north side of the canal [Vol XIII, L25 p81 through p83]. I can’t remember for sure if Compean made the same testimony.

When it comes to "bashing and trashing" you have the sensitivity of Hillary Clinton. As an Kansan, I like Bob Dole. I also agree with most of Duncan Hunter's positions, but I don't believe we can jam a charismatically challenged guy down the voters throats. That having been said, if he were to become the GOP nominee, I would support him, and not threaten a boycott, or pledge my support to a notional third party candidate.

A "crime" for which, if true, would warrant administrative diciplinary action not jail time.

"Who do you trust to help the Border Patrol. I trust Mr. Duncan Hunter. I cannot help myself. I believe in this Man."

-----

Hunter is a good man, but if I were basing my vote on this issue, I'd have to go with Tancredo who has been in the forefront, challenging PC orthodoxy on this issue for YEARS. This is Tancredo's passion, and if the borders are your main issue, he's really the guy.
