What about those two border patrol agents that are sitting in prison?
If you haven't figured it out yet, he wants them to rot in prison.
They dared to harm one of his precious mexicans, for that they must pay and dearly.

I absolutely hate it when I am forced to agree with liberals but Bush has made it clear that they are correct with their bumper stickers that say
"Somewhere in Texas a village is missing it's idiot." That moron finished the job his pappy started of wrecking the Republican Party and quite possible the country to boot.

This sorta $#1+ is why I will never give another nickel to the Republican Party.
They still call and send junk mail — to which I reply that I am no longer a Republican. I may vote for a Republican someday, but I’ll never actively support one again.

I despise Bush more,

Dubya doesn't do anything unless his owners tell him to do it. One of his owners must stand to gain by diverting money from online gambling?

Hell, a very big casino won’t even let you play for free anymore. Americans are taking up their bandwith.

It’s bad enough you can’t win at a computerized slot machine in a casino. I imagine it’s impossible to do it online. Don’t heat too many stories of people getting rich gambling online.

More statism from the Bush administration.
I went back and watched his 2000 campaign again on youtube. Hard to believe it's even the same guy. That Bush was solidly small l libertarian. This one sure isn't.
