President Bush…
President Bush has commuted Scooter Libby’s sentence, yet he won’t use his power to free Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos, two border patrol agents now in jail for simply doing their job. Of course, president Bush has continually bowed to business interests, and protecting our border isn’t necessarily in the interest of big business (who like to pay illegal immigrants who work for less than minimum wage). Many conservatives long for a chance for real conservatives, rather than blue-blooded country club types, to run the country. I have to say I have become more conservative politically in the last few years, and I think president Bush and his fellow neo-conservatives continue to put a bad face on conservatism.
