NC Governor Recommends Suspending Right To Vote To Focus On Jobs

Daily Caller:

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.”

    Got a better idea than suspend elections …. suspend all congress salaries … and jobs … no legislation until the next election in 2012 ..

    Get it started?

    Grow up.
    Bullets fly both ways, kiddies, and you REALLY don’t want to see that kind of Libyan shit here in America.

      So … what is the solution? Bend over and grab your ankles?

    • bacongreasenapalm

      So you want to live in a country where politicians do anything they want with no accountability? You are not only at the wrong website, you are in the wrong country. You do not deserve to be called an American Citizen. Pussy. No shit bullets fly both directions. Roll yourself up into a little fetal ball and hide in a corner till we’re done.

      Libyan shit? I really don’t care what level we have to bring this to, LIVE FREE OR DIE.

      I swore my Oath to the U.S.Constitution over 30 years back, and I’m retired Infantry, buttercup.
      We’ve got a 230+ year tradition of PEACEFUL transition of power, and I’d really like to keep it that way.
      THAT is what’s specified in the Constitution.

      Hold their corrupt asses accountable at the voting booth, because those pukes are just BEGGING some brain-fried shithead like you to do another Tim McVeigh SO THEY HAVE AN EXCUSE TO PUT ON THE JACKBOOTS!

      IF – and that’s one damned big-ass IF – it comes time to grab my rifle AND SHOOT OTHER AMERICANS, it is NOT going to be because some dumbass gummint slitch shoved her Birkenstocks in her pie-hole while a camera was running.

      …or because some dumbshit movie-overdosed, reality-impaired Rambo-wanna-be thinks it would suddenly be cool to open fire on his neighbors.

      “HOLD THEIR CORRUPT ASSES ACCOUNTABLE AT THE VOTING BOOTH?”

      What was it that started this? Some fat bitch (GOVENOR) that thinks I should not be able to hold her accountable at the voting booth.

      McVeigh was a stupid fucking maniac. You are an idiot. I never said anything about opening fire on my neighbors fuckhead. I’m talking about doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to replace tyranny with the U.S. Constitution.

      For retired infantry that swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution, you sure sound like a pussy.

    • YERMOM

      guys you are on the same side. point your rifles down range please.

    • bacongreasenapalm

      I’ve always liked yermom……But I don’t like being called a mcveigh wannabe.
      -When government officials talk about shredding the Constitution, I’ll talk about war.

      -I swore my Oath also. And I meant it.

      Chill, Dude.  Seems you and I are in the same age range.  You sound experienced and cautious, so I’d like to hear what your flashpoint would be.

      You don’t get to be an old grunt being stupid and reckless, and handing the enemy free ammo by chest-pounding about “war” and “doing whatever it takes” qualifies for both those adjectives.

      Anyone who doesn’t see that shit like that is precisely WHAT THE ENEMY WANTS isn’t anyone I’d want in my platoon.
      People like that get their buddies dead.

      “Hold them accountable at the voting booth” is what’s specified in the Constitution, and unless or until they violate it – by, let’s say, “suspending an election” – my black rifle stays where it is.

      If they come to take my rifle, it’s “game on”, but I’ve seen what explosives and bullets do.
      For nearly a quarter century – “kill people and break things, and train others how to do it” was my job-description.

      America is not – yet – at the point where we need to turn anything more lethal than “rhetorical guns” on each other.
      …and if we play things SMART, we can keep from pointing our real guns at each other.

      Thanks for replying.  I suspect that the kenyan might try something like the Lincoln gambit which started the Civil War.  If we all keep our cool, as you suggest, we are then faced with more of what we have now- a widely dispersed, constant, and insidious usurpation of liberties. Boil the frog, in other words.

      Tough choice: do something soon and face immediate and damaging consequences, or wait, and see if our legal/political process will bring relief.  Kenyan is subverting our legal process against us even now.  My main hope is that the states will stand firm against the feds so we as individuals needn’t go it alone.

      The way things are going we are about to have people in our face … remember, Obummer wanted it that way, said so, and now some are starting to comply. Shoot Americans? We’re talking about shooting non-Americans who are hellbent on jailing real Americans … including you. When people can’t get to the voting booth such as in Philly you tell me how that is going to continue to work. And, if you think there won’t be a Philly repeat, you’re kidding yourself. It is not only going to be repeated elsewhere besides Philly, but will be ramped up. When your back is against the wall, what are you going to do? Wave the Constitution in their faces? We are on the same side but we are divided … Obummer would be pleased.

    Make no mistake- they are telescoping their intentions. If the polls show a second term denied to The Premier, Plan B goes into effect: suspension of the Constitution, civil disorder, economic collapse, and violence against Americans. They still achieve their goal of the destruction of the Republic. The Premier must win re-election to destroy the nation as planned, or invoke civil war to end it in 1 year. Look for more “demands” in the MSM from totalitarians claiming we need to skip elections nexty year. Be ready to defend yourselves!
