UPDATE 5:17 p.m.:
Perdues press secretary, Chris Mackey, claims the Governor was joking when she made the comment.
Come on Gov. Perdue was obviously using hyperbole to highlight what we can all agree is a serious problem: Washington politicians who focus on their own election instead of whats best for the people they serve, Mackey said in an email to TheDC.
Ok, so there IS a governor more stupid than Connecticut’s Malloy or California’s Brown.
I’d drum her out of office for this one...if this is indeed a trial balloon, then Obama needs to know that this is NOT an option.
Oh brother ,what a maroon
Oh brother ,what a maroon
Does that sound like she's joking?
Hey governor, you know what's a really good joke? Next time you go to the airport tell the TSA you've got a bomb in your purse. Loads of laughs.
“Or did Obama tell her to say that?”
My thoughts exactly.
“Cleanup on aisle three...”
Pretty sure she just lost her next election...
Don’t know about her, but while checking.
OBAMA is certainly guilty of TREASON.
Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States,
such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information.
If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.
Do the BATF and FBI know that they have committed TREASON.
You know, I have read on various liberals websites, that they suspected that a Republican would do such a thing. I always thought it was such a paranoid thing, such silliness. But now I see WHY they think Republicans might do it, because in their hearts, it is THEY who want to do such things. Such transference is really a hallmark of Liberalism.
Now the Rat governor says she was just joking, i.e., hyperbole. Yeah, right. She didn’t like the reaction to what she said. Can you say backpedaling?
This is satire, right?
She will be re elected at this time frame so she is trying to save her and Obama’s jobs.What a joke! As if she was not being voted out this will ensure it.

“She was on a few short lists to take TOTUSs spot should he pull an LBJ and back out of running in 2012...now shes dead meat, politically.”
Really? Then why would she publicly suggest this?

“This is satire, right? Or did Obama tell her to say that? Shes not smart enough to come up with it on her own.”
Texas resident:
“Ive been wondering when a dimrat would suggest this and who would be the first. Ok, the ice has been broken.”
Art in Idaho:
Is this to get the idea out there so when Obama does it, it’s “for the good of the country?” Don’t even think about it. . .

Its a test maketing program designed by Axelrod

The Repubs (but not Conservatives) always underestimate the one talent the Dems have -— their goosestepping coordination of talking points and their selection of one or two useful idiots to set off a trial balloon to get an idea floating out there in the ether.
I can’t fathom that this idea originated from her. The stench of it too much like the Dems MO. She was told to put it out there.
Any Freepers from NC care to weigh in? Those were not “kidding” suggestions. Is your Gov so off the reservation? or has she proven to be an obedient goosestepper in the past?
The link to the Raleigh News & Observer now has this headline:
Perdue jokes about suspending Congressional elections for two years
Was that the original headline? Because now they have an UPDATE and a comment regarding a “late afternoon clarification.” -— AFTER Bed_Zeppelin posted the thread.
From the Raleigh News & Observer article:
“The comment — which came during a discussion of the economy — perked more than a few ears. It’s unclear whether Perdue, a Democrat, is serious — but her tone was level and she asked others to support her on the idea.”
Just how liberal has North Carolina become?
It’s time for the good people of NC to impeach this man.
