Despite claims that she was joking, North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue is "dead serious" with her suggestion that the 2012 congressional elections be suspended, according to radio host Rush Limbaugh, and at least one group is now calling for the Democrat's impeachment.
"No, she wasn't joking," Limbaugh said today. "If they could get away with canceling elections, they would do it. That is who the Democrats of today are. That's what the American left is all about."
During a speech yesterday in Cary, N.C., Perdue stated:
"You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things. 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. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that. The one good thing about Raleigh is that for so many years we worked across party lines. It's a little bit more contentious now but it's not impossible to try to do what's right in this state. You want people who don't worry about the next election."
Perdue spokeswoman Chris Mackey, told the Daily Caller that it was a joke and "hyperbole."
"This is not off the cuff, she had to think about this," Limbaugh said. "She wants to cancel the elections because 2012 could dwarf 2010 in terms of Republican victory, Democrat loss. If the election were in one month, two months, the Democrat Party would end up with the smallest number of elected representatives in the House of Representatives maybe in history. That's what they all know."

Yes. And even Roosevelt's most enthusiastic supporters (my parents, for example) began to have second thoughts about him whey this sort of thing started.
Pardon me for putting in my .02...but the day that Obama assumes dictatorial powers, there won't BE a Free Republic to go to. Bet your backside that one of the FIRST things they'll do is pull the plug on the internet to prevent anyone who would oppose him from communicating.
There's one thing preventing him from doing it...US! No piece of paper will stop someone from doing something incredibly stupid and/or evil. It's the POWER behind that document that does, and that power is the American people. I grant you that it was the (uninformed, stupid, deceived, or even willfully ignorant) American people that put him there, but it's going to be the (intelligent, informed, patriotic, and WELL ARMED) American people that'll get us out of it.
>>> If Rush knows that then why is he worrying about it? >>>
Wow, this debate is a rush to the shallow end by you. He is not “worrying” about it. In case you don’t know, he does a three hour radio show every day. As such, he uses many examples to illustrate the absurdity and motivations of the sick liberal mind.
This was both absurd and sick on the part of the Governor, and more to the point, Rush focused on how some in the media were trying to spin it as “a joke” - when it clearly was not.
If you try and analyze and respond to a ten minute or so radio bit that was well thought out with your little quick hits - you’re going to continue to look bad.
What were your prior FR screen names?
Before you signed up again last month, I mean.
Just so we can keep track of the returning trolls.
No. Other than being aware that everyone has their own idea of what a fool is. You have your's. I have mine.
Everyone has to have a hobby I guess. Sorry to disappoint you on this one.
And your contention that it's about to happen under Obama is ridiculous in the extreme.
Would you be so kind as to point me to the post in which I so contend?
That is, *before* I brand you a lying, arrogant moron?
Trav, I’m getting the impression that he’s a retread troll, too. I’m whisker-thin away from calling in the Dread VK.
Not even a flat denial. Come you, you can do better, retread.
So you have been confronted with someone who actually LIVED the time period and locality of which you CONJECTURE about, and your response is, "No, I'd rather remain ignorant, and smug about it."
Even if you are not a troll, your presence diminishes us all.
Shall I pull the trigger?

OK, consider it denied. Someone directed me here about 6 or 7 months ago. I finally joined after I got tired of talking to the computer screen asking questions like the one I asked here. I must admit it's been quite an eye-opener.
She suspended our 2nd amendent rights (the bear arms part) in 2010.

State of emergency order makes criminals of concealed handgun permit-holders, sport shooters and hunters.
North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue signed Executive Order No. 62, declaring a State of Emergency in advance of Hurricane Earle. In doing so, Perdue suspended the right of state residents to use or carry firearms outside their premises.
That’s exactly when I would want concealed carry.
No, I'd rather dismiss the non-existent parallels that people are trying to make between the two.
Even if you are not a troll, your presence diminishes us all.
Sorry.
Saying something over and over does not suddenly make it true. Give facts behind your reasoning, or remain -- branded as you already are -- a complete, gibbering (and repetitive) moron.
I also see you decline (without concession), my challenge to find a post on this thread in which I state that an Obama dictatorship is imminent.
You are a fraud and a moron, and you are smug in the demonstration of both.
Damn right.
North Carolina Democrat ic Gov. Beverly Perdue recommends suspending congressional elections for the next couple of years.
Perdue said she thinks that temporarily halting elections would allow members of Congress to focus on the economy. “You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things,” Perdue said.
The commie donks are seeing the internal numbers and know that a total azz-whipping is on the way. Little bammy isn't going to stop pushing the destroy America communist agenda that they have signed onto.
They have totally pizzed off 2/3rds of the American People and they know it. But they are too "progressive" to let go of their half-white Marxist nutjob. They must "prove" that they are right, even in the face of total denial of obvious reality.
This "floater" is regularly making the rounds with the commies.
May 2, 2011 – View co-hosts Joy Behar and Barbara Walters on Monday ... Behar crowed, "As Elisabeth always says, they should just skip the next election." ...
They would claim they were "right" if there is nothing left of the Republic but coast-to-coast smoldering ashes with a commie flag planted in the middle.
.
The suspension of elections and Libery — I can’t think of a better reason for a bloody revolution. Traitors, be forewarned!
