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 & Observer. “I really hope that someone can agree with me on that.”

‘I hope someone can agree with me on this.’ Won’t be me, honey. I think we should send them all home to save money. Hire them back part time as contractors.

If by suspending Congressional elections she means send’em home and make them get real jobs, then maybe I might agree.

But, if she means ignore the Congress and leave them be, then someone needs to cut back her meds!!

That dog simply won’t hunt!!

Beverly Purdue is nuts.

You want to help the economy, Bev? Here’s how:

Joe Biden resigns as vice-president.

Obama picks either Sarah Palin or Herman Cain to be his new vice-president.

Obama resigns.

Sarah or Herman Cain is sworn in as the new president....the other is appointed vice president and is approved by the Senate.

The new president fires all of Obama’s czars and cabinet secretaries. The new president replaces all of them with conservatives.

Taxes, rules and regulations, etc. are rolled back or eliminated entirely.

Watch the boom times commence.

Why stop there Missed Perdue? Why not include the dictator, err, Presidency? Why not just declare marshall law? The democrat party is completely full of idiots and morons and traitors!

That statement will ensure she will not be reelected in North Carolina.

“insanity”

Yep. Have you ever known a sane liberal?

Or, perhaps this knucklehead is floating that idea because Democrats like her know their party is going to be toast after the 2012 elections.

That is how Hitler took power: They gave it to him. The German congress decided just to let Hitler make all alws for 4 years.
