El Presidente Jorge W. Bush is a reason why the American public is turning against the Republican Party. As a Republican and conservative (first and foremost a conservative) I am going to firmly disagree with his decision to not release Compean and Ramos (the border agents that fired on a Mexican drug dealer).
I have never been one that says that people who speak out against elected officials are anti-American. I have not had to speak badly of my Congressman (David Davis) on any issue. He has served my ideas fairly well. I have had major disagreements with my US Senators (Alexander and Corker). I do find myself speaking out against things that President Bush does quite often. I firmly believe that I will be speaking out against the future ex-President Obama and yes, possibly even calling him names, more often than I have had to do with President Bush (Only 1507 days to Inauguration Day 2012).
In this case, President Bush should pardon the two border guards immediately. If he does not do so before leaving office, I hope history will judge him harshly.
We need true conservatives carrying the conservative banner.
Who did President Bush pardon? He pardoned a rapper, John Forte, who was convicted of smuggling cocaine into the United States.
This whole scenario is quite ironic. President Bush pardons a drug smuggler, but President Bush will not pardon two border agents that attempted to stop someone from smuggling drugs into the Unites States. This reasoning says that President Bush has absolutely no problem with hard drugs.
