NC governor recommends suspending democracy to focus on jobs

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.”

The governor has been tasked to launch the “ Dictator for Life” idea. They are testing the waters. They have to get the idea out there because time is running out and elections are threatening to derail the total destruction of America before Obama can finish the job.

I agree, but she let the cat out of the bag too soon.

This is going to spark outrage and awareness nationwide because it is becoming increasingly obvious that the only jobs these Democrats are really interested in is their own.

Ever since Obama was elected there has been a sneaking suspicion in my mind, and in the minds of many others, that Obama had no intention of ever giving up power and that he would, by some manner of hook or crook, find a way to suspend the Constitution.

I won’t say that he would have tried based on jobs alone, but it does appear that he is intentionally driving the economy into crisis conditions. I believe he thinks that if things are bad enough, he will indeed try to suspend the national elections in 2012 “in the interests of stability”.

This dim bulb may have actually done us a favor, in the same way a dose of a weakened virus can inoculate a patient against further infection.

If he were crazy enough to do that, and he might very well be, he will have started a bloody civil war that he could not win.

“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.”

*DING* And we have a Winner!

I’m convinced now that there is nothing in history that doesn’t repeat itself.

Not very comforting.

Sounds like confirmation that Democrat polls and fundraising are way down. Typical Democrat reaction: digging that hole a little deeper every time they open their mouths.

More good news is that there’s a cornucopia of news each day about which to crack wise on #attachwatch.

Buy popcorn futures.

“Didn’t she swear to uphold the Constitution?

Recall, recall, impeach, impeach!”

It is time to respond to traitors.

That’s just crazy. You can’t suspend elections.

The Constitution calls for elections - so the Constitution would have to be 'suspended' too.

And yeah, YOU CAN suspend elections - it's happened in Russia, the old USSR, Cuba, North Korea Iran etc... Thuggy totalitarians the world over 'suspend' elections if they feel they can't win fairly.

Our liberal elites aren't much different than other elites... they have little use for 'the people'. And many use 'workers' as an excuse to put boot to neck of everyday citizens...

Luckily they've shown their hand early - again... We'll defeat them - just like we did with their bullshit 'vast right wing conspiracy' gambit... Forewarned is forearmed...

We know who they are...
