I used to respect GW as a committed Christian who was better than his daddy. Now I agree with you. He's very confused about God and everything. He's gone soft and he hides behind the word Christian. It shields him from lots of hostile criticism
No they would use all blue eyed blond white actors and the girls woud be black and/or Hispanic..not blond/white and Hispanic...
bump
And GWB is going to ignore the rights of these murdered citizen’s/and their family's, of this country, and forgo the legal system here in the United States, and have this verdict overturned.
What Then Hell is going through this mans head? Is he Clinton’s evil brother? Bush has lost ALL CREDIBILITY!!! I am for impeaching his @$$.
And this comes from someone who has supported him, until he went to bed with Mexico. What a prick.
As an American citizen, I would expect to be allowed to contact the closest US embassy or consulate if I were arrested overseas — no matter how long I’d been there, whether I entered legally, or what charge I was arrested on.
If I were accused, with good evidence, of a heinous crime, I wouldn’t expect the State Department to do any more than provide, or maybe just recommend, a lawyer. And to monitor the proceedings. One key duty of any country’s diplomatic corps is to ensure that its citizens are treated fairly. I would expect diplomats in the US to extend the same protection to their citizens.
That said, I don’t think that is sufficient grounds to overturn a jury’s decision, unless he was denied effective counsel. The most the consulate could have done would be to provide a lawyer and lobby on his behalf, and there was nothing in this case preventing them from doing either, or preventing a lawyer or anyone else from contacting the consulate for him.
Jorge! This man Can Not be a man of faith. Un-freakin-believable.
Screw Bush!!!
Notice how he works the name of his gang into the first line of the second paragraph?
I’ve been “out of the loop” for a bit here, I’d heard GW wanted to stop someone’s execution, HOWEVER, I didn’t know it was for this......................................!
I’ll say no more as I’m not sure there is much more to say.
I WILL pray for these families, and our children, and our country....and pray that our Lord Jesus returns soon.
Thanks—didn’t have time to read it earlier.
shame on you...
Who are you shaming?
people who defend convicted murderers...
I’m sorry, I thought it might have been directed toward me and I didn’t know what I did :)
no, not to you
I’m not sure who else has brought attention to it.
Mike Gallagher did his whole show on this sub. yesterday, Oct.9. Interviewed one of the fathers of the teens, very disturbing doesn’t describe the emotions of this parent.
I just can’t figure President Bush on this one??
I bet he would feel different if it were Jenna, his daughter!!:-t
I don’t remember Rush talking about this. Anyone hear him talking about it? Maybe his show prep staff let this one slip.
