President Bush granted pardons Tuesday to carjackers, drug dealers, a moonshiner and a violator of election laws, but not to I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, his vice president's former top aide who was convicted in the case of the leaked identity of a CIA operative.

In all, Bush pardoned 29 convicts and reduced the prison sentence of one more in the end-of-the-year presidential tradition.

HE DOES THIS AS A JAB AT HUMANITY!ten steps that "fascist, totalitarian, and other repressive leaders [employ to] seize and maintain power, especially in what were once democracies." The ten steps are:
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law

Hey George....Commander Guy...Big Prez. Is it too late to put in for a pardon? I really really want one. Does it come as a certificate suitable for framing?

I'm afraid I've never been convicted of anything. Nope, no arrests either.

But still, couldn't I qualify for a special pardon?

Thanks, in advance.

Carjackers, drug dealers, and moonshiners...

But these are TERRORISTS.

* Carjackers terrorize young women in expensive cars with kids strapped in back. And carjackers supply parts for an illegal black market that is funded by gangs, drugs, and other terrorists. George, would you permit mothers, children and seniors to be harmed by carjackers because you let them go? Shame on you George.

* Drug dealers terrorize neighborhoods that residents have to clean up whilst risking their lives. I know, because I was one of those citizen patrols. It's hard work, George, harder than what you do, ya fool.

* Moonshiners are even terrorists, polluting the young of rural and native communities with their liquor, and at the same time, they will shoot anyone who approaches their illegal stills. So now, George, we are supporting illegal liquor production? Do YOU have a still on the White House grounds, George?

Ugh.

This is another reason not to vote for Clinton,just look at the long line of crooks that Clinton pardoned when he left office except Patty Hearst which Carter went to bat for because he could not!
It just makes one sick to know that Leonard Peltier is still behind bars for something he did not do. Amnesty International begged Clinton on Leonard's behalf and was counting on it!

President Bush is the duly authorized and sanctioned President, and a duly elected product, of a constitutional democracy. He only acts as such. Isn't it a wonderful system? He will serve out all his two terms and go away.
Congress has not impeached, and predictably will not impeach, him.
That says something about America.

It appears that Bush has pardoned all his personal vices, alcohol, drugs, theft, so why not treason?

And what of the two border patrol officers in prison for doing their job, were they on the list? I would bet no.
