I don't think Bush would have known. He's too busy trying to "Make a difference in Iraq" to notice that a congressman wants to have sex with male pages. And plus Foley is a Republican Congressman, so he had immunity from early investigations.
On a side note...there are too many whiny conservatives on this site. And to those who say that Liberals are too whiny, maybe so, but we have no other way of getting our points across because America was (and still is) stupid for voting in all those conservative wackos in Congress and the White House...that's something we should all remember on November 7th.
Someone had mentioned that Clinton was a good president...he wasn't a good president....he was a GREAT president. The best president since Jimmy Carter.

First off, I have given up belonging to any political party because they have become nothing more than an extension of everything bad in politics. I am just an American citizen exercising my right to my own opinion and free speech. As far as I can see, now days it has become more the government versus the people. As for Bush having a blind eye, that doesn't surprise me. The government is not policing itself. It is policing everyone else. When government finds out we have uncovered or discovered discrepancies in its operations, it will already have a direction to divert the blame. I don't care what party you want to claim or blame, it is all just a part of the game. The rich and the poor, the powerful and the weak.

16 year olds aren't little boys. Just try calling one that. But you tip your mentality by your ridiculous statement that they are listening in to our conversations. You're thinking of the Clinton era and project Eschalon. Tracking calling patterns is far from listening in.
As far as Abramoff goes, I guess you excuse the Democrats for their partaking - that's typical. After all, it's different when you're a Democrat, the rules don't apply. The only thing positive you can say about the Foley situation, something that a Democrat would hhave never done, is that he resigned when he was caught. Bill Clinton just stared us in the face and said he never had sex with a teenage intern. Hmm, I suppose that didn't bother you though.

You raise quite a few good points.... and by the way if we played the drinking game we'd end up in hospital from alcohol poisoning.
You would think that bush would know about all of these things- but then again he for the first two years of his presidency he stuttered his way through speeches, he was an average student, and not to meantion the son of a president- what would he really know about really helping the general public- he's never been part of it- (besides his grades)
Where as on the other hand democrats love to attack republicans for things that they did once AFTER key democrats have done them MULTIPLE times.
so pretty much we all screwed our fellow countrymen (and our children) by turning what is supposed to be a checks and balance system into a freaking popularity contest of the "cliques"

Why are you such an angry man? Maybe some Prozac for you would be a good thing. Yes, this is a horrible scandal involving a republican congressman. Like it's never happened to a democrat right? The biggest difference here is, he resigned as soon as it leaked and his fellow republicans did not race to his defense. Had it been a democrat, he would still be there and would be supported by his party and they would all be screaming "He's being persecuted because he's gay". Give me a break. Democrats are hypocrites and liars.

ALCOHOL POISONING. I think it is so funny that the best most can come up with as an answer to this question is to point out that Kerry or Gore are "losers."
Nearly half the country voted for both of them in both elections (actually, more people voted for Gore than for Bush in the first election), and so how they can be called losers is quite beyond me.

Yes, because being president makes you omnipotent. I think he may be a little busy with speeches and trips to personally monitor everyone in Washington's emails. Direct your anger toward the CIA or FBI, not Bush, ffs.
It's for the same reason that mass murderers can live in a nice, rural, small town and nobody ever suspects them. They're always the quiet, reserved ones.

No. It's commonly known that Bush has a rep among the White House staff as being very unreceptive to bad news, so they often choose not to tell him such things until they really blow up. It's one reason why he's so out of touch.

How?
I did not vote for him, but this is not his fault.
The mess in Iraq is his fault, he knows it, and you can tell by the look on his face when questioned about it how frustrated he is as well....
We all make mistakes, but when a president makes mistakes, he should be strong enough to admit it, then fix the problems.
Denial will sink this administration, as much as I disagree with them, I would like things to be better in general. If they mess up we all lose, it is just that simple.
