Perhaps in your world, that is what comes to mind. In mine, being critical does not automatically equate to that.

Even Rush L. has all these number of reasons he's NOT a Repub any longer.

I don't think there's been 2 parties since the 1800s. Now just a bunch of arrogant Pols and their handlers.

"Don’t hold your breath. I don’t have ANY faith that President Bush will do the right thing in this case."

Bush is the reason they were prosecuted in the first place. It was politically motivated.

Okay, THAT’s scary...so I guess you’re telling me I may not hear directly from the Senator right away?

Compean had Davila in a ditch. When Davila came out of the ditch Compean tried to take his head off with a horizontal butt stroke. He missed and went down. Davila took off for Mexico. Compean was embarrassed and mad and shot at his back 14 times if I recall correctly. Ramos came up, saw his partner firing and shot Davila in the butt. Righteous shoot or dirty cop? In my opinion Compean should have been convicted and Ramos acquitted. I think the punishment Compean received was excessive. If I were king for a day I would pardon Ramos and commute Compean’s sentence. Not that it matters but I have been in that ditch (retrieving a duck) and I have been up and down those levees from Ft Hancock to Fabens.

Yes they do have hope, of at least having their sentences commuted for time served so they can go back to their families. Even Sutton said their sentences were too harsh.

Now is the time for prayer.

He has let me down on so many things and not done what seemed to be slam dunks that I am forced to agree with you.

I think the Mexican drug people have bought him (or threatened him) many, many years ago.

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison is faster to reply. But then she’s running for Guv.

“Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison is faster to reply. But then she’s running for Guv.”

Which sorta gives me the willies, frankly. I have a lot of respect for Cornyn, but I’d sure like to see what his stance on R&C is.

That is not Jose Compean to the left of Ramos in post # 3.

I’m afraid you’re right that Bush has no intention of granting pardons to the two men. It’s interesting that everyone takes it for granted that Obama won’t pardon them either, even though he has no ties to Sutton.

Hey President Bush, listen up! Go ahead and destroy the last tattered remains of the the current sorry repubbie party. You don't pardon Ramos and Compean, then I pray that Obama has the political wit to burn you, and all associated with you on this fiasco. I hope Obama starts on day one about failed Boosh policies, and, to make things right, that Booosh refused to do, tht would be pardon the two, on his first day of office.

Jorge, you are anything but a conservative. I'm just sorry for having to vote for you twice, because there was no one else to vote for, rather than against.

Maybe the Bluedogs,and the Conservatives could capitalize on this opportunity to actually create a viable third party?
