NC governor recommends suspending democracy to focus on jobs
« on: September 27, 2011, 03:33:51 PM »
As a way to solve the national debt crisis, North Carolina Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue recommends suspending Congressional elections for the next couple of years.

“I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover,” Perdue said at a rotary club event in Cary, North Carolina, according to the Raleigh News and Observer. “I really hope that someone can agree with me on that.”

Well now.  That is so bizarre that it defies response.

This seems so utterly unbelievable even for a liberal to actually say seriously it makes me wonder if she is not just someone else's sock puppet.
Perhaps being used vicariously by the Resident of the United States to float this suspended elections notion as a trial balloon?

This is the most amazingly stupid idea I think I have ever heard! Are you sure it doesn't belong in "mind-numbing stupidity"?

I've seen this somewhere before...

Tagge: The Rebellion will continue to gain a support in the Imperial Senate, until...

Wilhuff Tarkin: [walking in with Darth Vader] The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.

Tagge: That's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?

Tarkin: The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.

Between her and Nancy P it's enough to make a fellow want to repeal a womans right to vote and hold public office. :-)

Since men aren't allowed to slap women around, maybe one of you women here could slap some sense into her head?

Is that Marshall Law knocking?

That b**** has been a pox on the great state of North Carolina!  She's said and done some unbelievably ignorant things, but this one tops them all.  She's off her rocker entirely.
