I'm sure that the Democrats will be pleased that the national party decided to put up yet another tough taking governor from Texas...
It's a brilliant strategy really. I'm sure the independent voters are going to be excited....

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration - a federal agency - was apparently seriously considering this until it got so much blow-back it dropped the idea.
In fact, the FMCSA did not publish the
notice withdrawing the request for comments on the idea until August 10, 2011, and Perry made his comments on a Sunday - August 14, 2011 - only 4 days after the publication of that withdrawal. Keeping in mind that these sorts of agency publications are routine and are generally made with little or no fanfare, it's not unreasonable that Perry would not have known about the withdrawal.
More to the point, however, is that Perry is not completely wrong - as the FMCSA notice itself states, farmers are generally subject to the federal commercial drivers license rules
unless the state they're in decides to exempt them from those rules. Therefore, unless a particular state decides to exempt its farmers from the scope of the CDL rules, farmers in that state
will be subject to a federal requirement that they obtain a CDL.
That's going to have really silly results for farmers who live at the border between two states if one has exempted them and the other has not.
That's a stupid idea all around, whether or not the states can exempt farmers.

You obviously posses a rebellious nature. It’s not meant for you, I always thought you to be more perceptive though.

Do you really think so? What do the democrats have to say about Perry? Are they promoting him?

No, I didn’t, genius, I voted for McCain.
Now get back to your OCD before Perry becomes your president.

Only about an hour earlier you said you were sure the democrats would be pleased with Perry as the GOP’s candidate. Now you don’t know who they’d prefer?
It looks to me like they’d prefer to knock Perry out of the running now, but all they can come up with is yellow journalism and misleading innuendoes.
If you can come up with any substantial reasons we should steer clear of Perry, I’d like to read about it. So far, you’ve run a good campaign in his favor.

Actually you missed the point of my retort.
Which was you asked me which candidate were the Democrats promoting.
My response was meant to show the absurdity of that question. Which is do you think the Democrats are promoting somebody?
The notion that the media is more focused on showing Perry in a bad light more than the other candidates is paranoid at best. A quick google news search using just the names of each candidate would quickly reveal which candidate currently gets the most negatively slanted headlines.
It’s not Perry. So if your motivation in selecting a candidate is to be anti-media establishment. You’re supporting the wrong candidate.
Out of curiosity which policy issues do you think are important in a Republican. Which ones are least important.

No, I did not ask which candidate the democrats were promoting.
You said " I'm sure that the Democrats will be pleased that the national party decided to put up yet another tough taking governor from Texas... It's a brilliant strategy really. I'm sure the independent voters are going to be excited...."
I asked you " Do you really think so? What do the democrats have to say about Perry? Are they promoting him?"
You missed the point of my retort, which was that contrary to your claim, the democrats (and you) are apparently not pleased with Perry. My question "Are they promoting him?" was a rhetorical question. The clear answer is that no, they (and you) are not promoting him. They (and you) don't seem to be at all pleased with him.
