Sad!!! The voters of North Carolina hit on, beat on, rant and comment on this site about the remarks of Gov. bev Purdue to cancel congressional elections next year, when what they should be doing is forcing her to resign or impeach her!!! Folks, this is dicator stuff!!! North Carolina, a state I love, you all asleep at the wheel. Yoru freedom and liberty are in jeopardy and you cannot see the forest for the trees. You all, deserve Herr Obama and Dictator Bev Perdue!!!

This one made it to the North Woods. Quite a stir here at the camp. Glad I left the old north state, these New Englanders are so peeved at Ms PurDoodie.

Ms PurDoodie is far from an incompetent political hack. The battle axe helped nominate Pat McCrory to be her opponent in the 2008 election. By nominating a bozo former mayor of the Big “C” as her opponent she was certain to win and did.

Other former Big “C” mayors from both parties suffered similar fates in the recent past. Gantt and Vinroot come to mind.

Fear not, the NC republican party will figure out how to screw this up so bad that the LOON BAT will carry at least 93 of the 100 counties there.

The NC republican party is guilty of felonious incompetence.

She needs to look up the definition of the word “Sarcasm” in the dictionary, because that wasn’t it.

She has put it out there and that's all that matters.

Will see who picks it up and runs with it.

If that happens, there will be the greatest march on the WH we've ever had.

She is a liar, alright. And not smart enough to come up with that on her own. Follow the trail to find out who thought she would be the one who could get away with floating out there. Find them and hold them as accountable as she should be held. Demand she not destroy any emails or phone records and get them. The way she said it sounded like she was pretty secure in saying it, like she had had discussions about it, not like an off the cuff remark. And for her to say something treasonous like that and then try to play it off like a joke shows she does not have good judgement.

Hey NC!! What are you doing about this? Hellooooo???!! WTF are you doing about this? I hear silence when I should hear the crowd demanding she step down or be removed from office. I can only hope there is some action on this or you deserve her.

The only way she can prove to me that she did not mean this is if she can show me that her family tree doesn’t fork, that there is inbreeding in her ancestry and therefore not responsible for her actions.

Well said, Kindred Spirit!!! Could not have stated it better. Good to know there are still folks in America that will stand up for freedom and liberty. The folks in North Carolina are like sheep being led to the slaughter. Go figure!!!

From the musical “Evita”:

PERON
Dice are rolling, the knives are out
Would be presidents are all around
I don’t say they mean harm, but they’d each give an arm
To see us six feet under ground

EVA
This is crazy defeatist talk
Why commit political suicide?
There’s no risk; there’s no call
for any action at all
when you have unions on your side

WORKERS’ VOICES
Peron! Peron!

CHE
A new Argentina!
The chains of the masses untied!
A new Argentina!
The voice of the people cannot be denied!

INDIVIDUAL WORKERS
Nationalisation of the industries that the foreigners
control
Participation in the profits that we make
Shorter hours
Higher wages
Votes for women
Larger dole
More public spending
A bigger slice of every cake

PERON
It’s annoying that we have to fight elections for our cause
The inconvenience—having to get a majority
If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause
There are other ways of establishing authority

“Evita” - Music, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lyrics, Tim Rice

By suggesting that 2012 elections be postponed, it appears that NC Governor Bev Perdue has violated her oath to uphold the US Constitution. PLEASE READ this: http://www.ncicl.org/article/1​00 http://www.ncicl.org/article/1

Rush said yesterday this liberal was dead serious. Backtracking on her comment isn’t a surprise. Now saying I was just being sarcasm, is a lie, which is the way liberals try to wiggle out of a dead serious statement.

Bullshit! She meant every word.When it comes to power and the control of others, Democrats never joke. But sh was the choice of the majority of North Carolina voters.

My intelligence tells me that the mianstream media at ABC and the local statewide media in North Carolina want to broom Governor Bev Purdue down the flushing toilet for her remarks. Why? Obama must win NC in 2012 and.....the Obamabots are frightened to death that the Republicans will throw the “Hitler Rule” of dispensing with elections into Obama’s face at every chance they get!!! Not good for Dictator, Obama. Now, if only the Republicans can find a backbone and chase this buffoon idiot out of office, that would send a message to all the kool-aid worshipers in the anti-American Democrat Party!!!
