This is president Bush's most boneheaded move of his entire presidency and I am simply absolutely disgusted with this development of leaving these two agents off his pardon list that includes scum far beyond the level and magnitude of what these fine agents were charged with.
In a normal thinking society these men would be receiving medals of valor instead of prosecution and prison for what they did, shooting a Mexican piece of human garbage in the ass who was fleeing, hence resisting arrest after being caught smuggling 700 lbs of dope across our southern border.
As I've maintained all along here on this blog should Bush take this course of action, I will no longer show public support for this president against the endless army and onslaught from the mentally deranged loons on the left, something I've done religiously since the inception of this blog as well as working and contributing on and to both his successful runs for president.
Leaving these men in prison for 11-12 years for a law not intended to be used against law enforcement personnel in the first place is an abomination and definitely meets the criteria of cruel and unusual punishment, and is entirely unforgivable, period.
If I were a drug enforcement agent or particularly a border agent today I would tender my resignation as I would not put my life on the line for a country and government that protects filthy foreign scum like they've done in this case over it's own heroic agents. No way Jose, It's not worth it and I truly hope that agents do leave in droves to protest this action and inaction by Bush to correct this disgraceful and overzealous prosecution.
Bush springs drug dealers, leaves border agents to rot:WorldNetDaily President George W. Bush today added a convicted methamphetamine dealer, a cocaine distributor and two marijuana suppliers to the list of drug operators he's pardoned while in office, bringing his total of drug suppliers who have been pardoned or had their sentences commuted to 36.
He's also pardoned more than a dozen thieves, seven embezzlers, an arsonist, several mail thieves, a man who violated the Neutrality Act and eight Thanksgiving turkeys, but there's been no clemency for U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who were convicted of shooting at a fleeing drug smuggler.
Andy Ramirez, of Friends of the Border Patrol, long has been involved in the Ramos-Compean case, and said the questions just start piling up.
"First and foremost is the question that has to be asked, 'Why is the president dug in so deep' on Ramos and Compean?" Ramirez said. "Look at how many members of Congress have sent him letters, and have held hearings.
"You really have got to start to wonder … does this doper (in the Ramos-Compean case) lead to somebody really big?" he said.
Joe Loya, the father-in-law for Ramos, said he, his daughter and grandchildren were "devastated" by word that Ramos and Compean had been denied clemency on the latest list of presidential actions.
"We were praying for a miracle. We just don't understand where the connection is when drug smugglers are getting pardons and commuted sentences, yet two agents who are not criminals, who were just doing their jobs, are in isolation," he told WND by telephone as he traveled to visit his son-in-law in jail on Christmas Eve.
"George Bush could redeem himself," he continued. "Ninety-five percent of our support is coming from Republicans. He certainly has nothing to lose.
What a freaking disgrace
