Perdue "Jokes" About Suspending Congressional Elections for Two Years
The Raleigh News & Observer ^ | 9-27-11 | JB Frank

Posted on 09/27/2011 2:29:38 PM PDT by fabjr60

Speaking to a Cary rotary club today, N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue suggested suspending Congressional elections for two years so that Congress can focus on economic recovery and not the next election. "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."

If it was a joke why did she ask for the support of others?

"JOKE" MY @$&$#!!!

The Democrats would LOVE to ELIMINATE ALL ELECTIONS!

What they want is a DICTATORSHIP with themselves in control of it!

It fits their Communist Idealogy perfectly.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!

And if you've got a brain in your head, you will kick ALL Democrat politicians out of office! AND FAST!

Some people should just keep their mouths shut and let people just think they are morons and not speak and prove that they real are morons.

The lady appears to be a classic liberal dingbat. (pdf file)

home page of the source for the above

Appears to me that this gal is so dizzy that even public radio does not attempt to cover for her 100-percent of the time.

She's another ideological child of 60's spoiled-brat Marxist-Alinsky nutcases -- they took over the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party in the 1970s and it gotten even worse since then -- but arguably they are now the Establishment.

What a crazy idea she has.. besides Hey! If we are going to have a dictatorship we are a republic and every 200-year-old republic is entitled to at least one patriot-dictator -- not some nutcase, spoiled-brat jerk like a Rat Party thing.

The Democrats know full well that Obama and the leftist policies he has employed - with complete Democrat approval - have failed miserably. Americans are hurting and they very rightly blame Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat dolts that cheered him on as he blew a trillion on TARP to help pay back his union buddies and then imposed ObamaCare against the expressed will of the American people. Obama's shabby treatment of our longtime allies and his disreputable (metaphorical) flip of the middle finger to Israel that has stirred up the hornets nest of it's terrorist neighbors salivating with lust to murder Jews on any pretext as well as Obama's totally failed 'Green Jobs Initiative that gave us Solyndra and who knows what else have all (there is more) turned Americans against this failed, flaying president, even though the media tries to prop him up at every opportunity.

This knowledge and associated fear by the left that, not only will they lose the White House in the next election but very likely the senate - and likely by a big margin - is probably behind the 'suspend the election' nonsense Governor Purdue was babbling. The left now realizes that the 2010 election they have tried to explain away and ignore was no fluke and that 2012 will be a wipe-out for Obama and a large amount of elected Democrats. This dopey governors alleged 'joke' was likely more wishful thinking than anything and can be dismissed as unconstitutional and wrong. However, I believe it indicates real fear in Democrat circles that their socialist forays have come up empty of results, made things much worse for millions and that they are going to face the biggest defeat of their life in 2012. A defeat they richly deserve as retribution for the grave damage they have done to our beloved country.

It's hard to tell when Bev is joking or serious ever since her plastic surgeon put that permanent smile on her face by pulling the corners of her mouth out to her cheeks.

Don’t they take an oath in NC to protect the Constitution?? Sounds like impeachment proceedings are in order for sedition.

My opinion of Rotarians just dropped significantly.


Rotarians hear from all types of politicians. You certainly can’t blame those who gave her the forum for her unexpected comment.

Yup. Cary is full of yankees who left NY and NJ to come to NC to screw it up as much as they did their previous homes.

Cary stands for Containment Area for Relocated Yankees.

Quite right - in fact the Rotarians performed a valuable public service by allowing the Governer to speak freely on this topic...
