The pushing of the Amnesty Bill a few weeks ago in the U.S. Senate was one of them.

And then there's this:

Bush won't promise to pardon border agents

Says 'dear friend' who prosecuted Ramos, Compean 'even-handed,' 'fair guy'

Questioned by an audience member at a forum, President Bush said he could not promise to pardon former U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.

"I'm not going to make that kind of promise in a forum like this," Bush said at the Nashville event yesterday, which focused on his budget.

Bush referred to the U.S. attorney responsible for the case, Johnny Sutton, as "a dear friend of mine" and called him a "fair guy" and "even-handed," according to a White House transcript.

The president elicited laughter when he told the questioner, "You've got a nice smile, but you can't entice me into making a public statement."

"I know this is an emotional issue, but people need to look at the facts," Bush said. "These men were convicted by a jury of their peers after listening to the facts as my friend, Johnny Sutton, presented them. But anyway, no, I won't make you that promise."

Ramos and Compean are serving 11- and 12-year prison sentences, respectively, after a jury convicted them last year of violating federal gun laws and covering up the shooting of a drug smuggler as he fled back to Mexico after driving across the border with 742 pounds of marijuana. Sutton's office gave the smuggler, Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, immunity to serve as the government's star witness and testify against the border agents.

1. President Bush has some sort of 'plan' for his recent behavior, or
   
2. President Bush is off his rocker.

I'll still support President Bush in the War on Terror, but unless he's really working hard to make a legacy for himself in the remaining time of his presidency and he doesn't want the war in Iraq to be the only comment about him in the history books, I'm thinking that he might want to get a new consultant on this matter.

While his behavior on these two matters not to mention his stance(s) on undocumented workers illegal aliens and sealing the border have motivated me to UN-enroll in the Republican Party, I still will not embrace the Dark side of the Force and go marching in front of the Federal Building with the Barking Moonbats here in San Diego at the drop of a hat.

No sir....no way. Uh-uuh. Just re-label me an Independent with no specific political affiliation cause there is a reason I'm called Mad Mikey.

Grrrrr......
