Maybe he should have spoken with Pat Quinn!
Here’s another thread on this article with the proper BARF alert: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2766457/posts
You might begin reading at post #3.

Okay, so the rule did exist, then was struck down? And commenting on this as an example of a dumb rule is a major gaffe?
I guess they don't make gaffes like they used to.
“UNDATED (WSAU) The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation is arguing a federal plan to require farmers to get a commercial drivers license is over-reaching and unnecessary. That group is joining Wisconsin Agriculture Secretary Ben Brancel and more than 20 U.S. Senators in speaking out against the idea.”

I read this is being proposed right now in Montana...
>> a new federal regulation forcing farmers to get commercial drivers licenses
This was a real, perceived threat.
Tempest, You’ve been flailing away at Perry for how long now and you still have yet to land a single punch?
Pathetic.
Perry looking better and better in my eyes as Tempest’s post count goes up.
You should try educating yourself. This was pushed by the Federales. They are backing off because of the outrage it created during a campaign year for Obummer. I see no evidence where it won’t be slid in somewhere at a later date.

He joined the Journal in Sept 2008 and came from the Washington Post.
The historical record is very clear here and the author is wrong and plainly guilt of yellow journalism. Samuel Dijk commented on the article with thoughtful facts at hand, something the hysterical lefties on the blog cannot do:
I think the writer of this article may have gone beyond his grasp of the issue. Max Baucus, the Democratic Senator from Montana, has also been complaining about the proposed regulations. For instance, in a press release, he stated that “The proposed guidance recommends that commercial driver’s licenses be mandatory for driving or hauling a long list of farm equipment, including horse trailers as short as 16 feet. “FMCSA also suggests doing away with the 150-mile exemption for hauling commodities. FMCSA asserts that because those commodities are likely to cross state lines at some point, trips to the grain elevator count as part of the journey and are therefore interstate commerce.” See http://baucus.senate.gov/?p=news&id=614So, who is wrong here? Governor Perry, Senator Baucus,and Senator Tester– or the journalist who wrote this article?
The fact is that the number of new economy-destroying regulations proposed and implemented by Obama's wrecking crew is at an all-time high.
Wow, a two week old article that was already shown to be false. You are at rock bottom.
You know what, Tempest?
I think I’ma vote for Perry just to help make him your president.

Good grief. All the farming states up north are up in arms about this new proposed regulation...my son’s father-in-law in Indiana already has their county council group committee working against the issue. How do 14 year old grandkids that help plow his fields and move equipment across the roads get a freaking CDL license?
Don’t you remember the farmer in Iowa asking Urkel about this proposed regulation and Urkel got to say that it was “canceled” and would not be implemented............for a while?
Not just with this post, but you're entire Perry "schtick" is becoming a service to his campaign.
You guys that hate Perry are trying WAY too hard.
Just settle down. If he is the moron you all insist he is, then it will all come out and he will not win the nomination.
The proposed rule did exist and was about to be implemented. Rush did his daily 1-minute morning update on it a few weeks ago, and the rule was mysteriously withdrawn the same day!
So your backing BS from the left these days.... Sad.
