LOL. You guys. Evidence that Bush won this thing: this is what's being jumped on. Unreal. Bush must not have done much wrong.

See him dig himself out of this one? I don't think average people are so blinded by partisanship as to see Bush in a hole over this. I'm still chuckling. Bush scored with that comment, 'Need some wood?'

Bush had a big old grin on his face, and acted like he busted Kerry on lying. This had better blow up big time in that liar's face. Lying to imply that Kerry is lying. He's going down.

Wait a moment, I happen to do consulting, on a small scale but professionally, and even this does generate jobs.  I buy materials for work, which generates jobs for manufacturers and store clerks.  I by persoal goods.

You just wait until Bush uses his $84 of timber revenue to replace those 800,000 jobs he lost.

Just to add a bit more truth to the thread, factcheck.org updated the story with this correction:

Yes, that is good journalism.  When you make a mistake, as all journalists do, you admit it and correct it.  See what Fox did with their recent mistakes.

Also, Bush is correct, he does not own a timber company.  This makes your opening post incorrect.

You should apologize and post a retraction.

(Oct 9; CORRECTION: What we originally reported as a "timber-growing" enterprise is actually described on Bush's tax return as an "oil and gas production" concern, the Lone Star Trust. We were confused because The Lone Star Trust currently owns 50% of another company, "LSTF, LLC", described on Bush’s 2003 financial disclosure forms as a limited-liability company organized "for the purpose of the production of trees for commercial sales." So, Bush does own part interest in a tree-growing company, but the $84 came from an oil and gas company and we should have reported it as such.)

Here is what you said:

Well, I had thought it a gaffe, but a quick check of factcheck.org shows that Bush did indeed report buisness income from a small timber buisness enterprise.

Bush did not report income from a small timber business enterprise.  His income was from an oil and gas production concern.  Your statement is, per factcheck.org, incorrect.

I'm glad that you're so concerned about minor factual problems when a Democrat quotes an innaccurate source.

Now apply that standard to your own party.

It's nice to know you ignore minor factual problems when a Democrat quotes an inaccurate source. 

Now apply that standard to the opposite party.

What I care about is mistakes, when made, being fixed.  You have yet to fix the error in your post.  You now admit that you have a "minor factual probelm" in your post.  You need to fix it.

When FOX posted inaccurate information they fixed it and printed a retraction.  That is the standard I expect you to mee.  Does FOX have higher standards than you do, jfern?

This is an inane conversation.
Bush lies all the time about important matters.
And Fox makes up news, so they don't count.
