N.C. Gov. Perdue: Suspend elections for Congress
Was North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue joking when she suggested holding off on elections for Congress?Perdue, a Democrat elected in 2008, caused a stir Tuesday when she told a Rotary Club audience that congressional elections should be suspended for two years so lawmakers can focus on solving the nation's vexing economic problems.
"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," Perdue is quoted as saying. "You want people who don't worry about the next election."
Her spokeswoman, Chris Mackey, told the News & Observer in Raleigh that Perdue was using "hyperbole" to spotlight the issue of Congress playing politics instead of solving problems.Not so fast, says a spokesman for the North Carolina Republican Party. Rob Lockwood told the Raleigh newspaper, after it posted the audio, that the governor's tone is unmistakable.
"If it was a joke, what was the setup? What was the punchline? " Lockwood says before calling it "an unconstitutionally bad idea."
.OK, here's the low down. She's an old school, well informed, well CONNECTED Southern Democrat who loves Obama and all things D-N-C!!! If she was joking, I'm a butterfly!!!

Hello boys and girls. Can you say, fascist dictatorship?
Yes i can, because that's what America has become. Want more proof? NYC's limp-wristed mega-Billionaire ruler is a perfect example of Leftist/Fascist thinking.

As for the gov. of NC, perhaps, in some ways, she has a point. Just think of how much safer we and the country would be if congress were suspended. Or better yet, hanged. As we can see, just about every Demoncrat in the country jumped on her for that obviously-stupid comment, which she is now running from.
Personally, i wouldn't mind seeing congress shut down, since they are basically useless. And, that includes both the Marxist Demoncrats and the weak, gutless, no-balls Republicans.
..and if you shut it down, and suspend voting, HOW do we fix it?
