And i know for sure Arnold schwargenegger(sp?) would not pardon these guys either


WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush has granted pardons to 14 individuals and commuted the prison sentences of two others convicted of misdeeds ranging from drug offenses to tax evasion, from wildlife violations to bank embezzlement

Bush pardons 14 and commutes 2 prison sentences - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081124/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_pardons - broken link)
Well Bush Raped our economy, got people killed in a useless war, murdered the justice system whit illegal wire taps, we can go on, and on, and on. So he's only letting out people that are just like himself. Oh, and he has held people captive for years down in Cuba. So in short, GWB is the biggest mistake this country has ever made.

Who else would he pardon other than wrong doers? The options are pretty limited when you take them out.

And these pardons come as a surprise? After eight full years of a Bush Administration, what could he possibly do between now and January 20 that would surprise anyone, other than resign from office?

I'd say he's worse but mostly because Nixon had some positive accomplishments (like opening relations with China).

Perhaps your post should read "All presidents give Presidential Pardons"...Bush does not own the market on this practice...
