We don't need your stinking constitution."

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.”
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.
North Carolina Republicans immediately scoffed at Perdue’s proposal, pointing out to her that elections hold politicians accountable for their actions. “Now is a time when politicians need to be held accountable more than ever,” North Carolina GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood said in an email to The Daily Caller. “To suspend an election would be removing the surest mechanism that citizens have to hold politicians accountable: The right to vote.”
She was serious. It was not a joke, but a trial balloon. Now she is backtracking big-time!
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.
.
Calls for her resignation or removal from office should be made now.
Nov. 2012 is to long to wait to remove someone this dangerous from an elected role.
That is exactly what I thought.
Supposedly she claimed later she was joking.
The cancellation of elections combined with the need for jobs could include forced labor camps.
Does NC have provisions for the Recall of a Governor?
When does her term end?
Is there a way she can be replaced LEGALLY sooner?
The Dems are doing a recall against our great state Senate President Russell Pearce. Term length of house & senators in AZ is 2 years.
I wonder if 'suspending the elections' - and the constitution that calls for elections - was part of the 'fast and furious' plan. It feels like there's a connection.
Obviously this governor knows it's not a question of 'time' - but of agreement. A 'jobs' plan could be passed tomorrow if either side totally gave into the other... That's not our way - but it is the way of dictators...
Before we suspend the Constitution and the election that document calls for, let's cut Congressional vacations days... (weeks, months?)
Before we suspend the Constitution and the election that document calls for, let’s cut Congressional pay by 25% by 50% by 75%...
“Supposedly she claimed later she was joking.”
Too late she said it - the deed has been done - Recall her!
Make an example of her so other elected people can see what happens when they show contempt/serious and careless disregard for our Constitution.
I’m on board with that plan...
And North Carolina elects this lady? LoL The people of North Carolina must either be irresponsible or devoid of any interest in liberty.
She undoubtedly took an oath to defend the Constitution, but apparently she cared no more for that than she did her virginity ~ which I doubt she can even recall.
Now there’s an old gal’ who fears for her job ~ won’t help though. Her boss is going bye bye.
Too funny Bev, you big kidder you.
