Pulling to the right means the left side ain't doing it's job & vice versa. they are (likely) bled out & if there is a bit of air still left in there & that is possible which is causing the lack of overall front braking as calipers can be very hard to fully bleed out at times but yet not enough air left to give you the classic (they will pump up for 5 seconds) symptom but there's a seperate hyd or mechanical issue going on which needs to be dealt with first that's causing the pulling right then left.

Check the rears also. They can cause a pull.
i checked the backs and even loosened them up a little.im pretty sure its the fronts.its not really a pull,its a sudden jerk then the otherside grabs and jerks it back.

A sudden initial jerk to the left means there's a hyd/mechanical problem on the pass side. Concentrate your efforts there
thats what im thinkin,mabey i should disconect it at the master and wheel and blow some air thru it.

Yeah blowing air both ways would take care of the line blockage possibility as I've heard of the inner liner coming loose & acting like a 1 way check valve but to k.i.s.s. likely blowing air thru one way would take care of that possibility. both sides need to apply at the same time & for some reason the pass side ain't doing that. Before going to that trouble you might jack both wheels off of the ground & have a helper work the pedal as you spin each wheel & see what you see & it might be easier to see what's going on with the caliper with the wheel/tire off

I'd suspect a sticky caliper myself.
If blowing air through doesn't change anything swap the calipers and see if the problem moves to the other side.
I can't afford this.

if i swap the caliper to the other side the bleeder will be too low and the brakes will not bleed.im going to look at it today.

Twice in my history the same symptom has turned out to be an inner wall collapsing in the flex hose ... factory/replacement stock type hoses? Inner wall blocks the flow at first application, slower apply/ eased up pedal would work normally (sort of). 
It takes gasoline to interest me.
