Nope, Conservatives were not deluded. We were offered the one less evil than the other one (sound familliar?). Can you imagine Algore for POTUS?

How'd that work out for you?

Ramos and Compean did truy to cover up their actions. For that reason, I think a commutation was appropriate and not a pardon.

I’m very glad that President Bush took a close look at the case and acted with a commutation.

It appears that there are those who cannot be happy or thankful for anything.

OK. Sure. Maybe the “king” should’ve ignored the whole thing. After all, we do have the courts!

Funny, that is the personality of the Libs, always complaining that the dictator will make it all better, always so unhappy with the realities of democracy.

and also living in La La land where the fantasy of how things SHOULD BE, COULD BE, WOULD BE...if only life would be fair and go just along THEIR version of conservative.

"2. To change (a penalty, debt, or payment) to a less severe one."

"Hmmmm... what will be the new panalty?"

The penalty was for 11 years. They have served two. That is the new penalty.

Talk to me directly you coward.

Bush kept those men in prison for political reasons and now he is releasing them for political reasons. That’s a dictatorship.

You’re still living your hippie roots.

Did you hear Laura Ingraham on FOX a few minutes ago..?

She gave an excellent commentary on WHY they shouldn't have been in jail in the first place!

They were railroaded!

I know at least one of them has a strong church affiliation--(maybe both) and the church has been praying THIS WHOLE TIME for them.

I heard both wives will be on Glenn Beck's new show today!

I thought that GWB was too close to Sutton to take this action.

Sutton has been quoted as saying that he thinks that the sentences were too harsh. If he had not, I don't think Bush would have done anything.
