I was just reading about this. NOW the media is saying...she was JOKING.

This woman should be run out of office.

A joke my ass. They are trying to cover the ridiculous suggestion of suspending democracy. Now if there is tape where we can see her laughing and or joking I might believe it. You are right she should not be in office is she was serious.

I have a feeling that after this, she will be voted out.
 
I don't go along the governor's recommendation, however I can understand the frustration. Congress is doing nothing. Every proposal is blocked by the opposition with little regard for the content.

The Republicans have a single aim, winning in 2012. If the country goes to hell between now and then, they blame it on the Democrats.

I only hope that after Obama wins in 2012, they back off for the betterment of this country. He will be in until 2016 and finally when they admit this to themselves, we can stop the history making, record breaking filibusters.

The day after the elections will be so much fun in here and finally, this country can start to heal from those horrible horrible 8 years of bush. Do you realize how close we came to another depression after Bush. OBama picked a hell of a time to run but thank god he did. He saved this country from going down the depression road.

EVen if healthcare stands, It wont control me, I will fight back until they arrest me. We all know it's bullshit and unconstitutional, and unless we fight back they will run roughshod over us.

man oh man..OBAMA is sitting at 36% APPROVAL in LESS than THREE YEARS.
Just what do you see happening in a year that is going to get him reelected? He really is going to part the seas???

And he SAVED us from a depression. I'd say ONLY you in that 36% seem to think that CRAP.
who has him at 36%

Couldn't be me, I have him at 1%
 
That is a frightening comment from a State Governor! VERY FRIGHTENING INDEED!


o get over yourselves.....gov perdue made this statements to the rotary club....she has a sense of humor...her bad

Exactly. And the fact that these morons took her seriously is very telling.

But let's assume for a minute that she was serious.

To translate her statement to "ALL democrats want to suspend elections" from one goofy statement is akin to saying that ALL republicans like to send secret signals to the guy in the next stall while sitting in public restrooms like Larry Craig did.

.

humor......? you're the joke here.............she was dead serious......

why don't you take a listen first........hear any joking?......hear any laughing.....?

“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.”

Idiocy – that’s how dictatorships start.

However tempting it may be to compel lawmakers to ‘do the right thing,’ with term limits and the like, it’s still voters’ responsibility to hold lawmakers accountable. There is no quick fix or easy answer.

They would have tried it years ago, but that damn 2nd amendment thingy is in the way. And trust me, if they tempt it, it will go very badly for them.
 
In last nine months Congress has passed the Patriot Act Extension, Budget bill, and a number of bills that extend funding, mostly mandatory. Then a dozen or so bills like the following. For this we have to pay 535 congressmen, aids, staff, consultants, and other personnel 5.35 billion dollars an increase of 87% in 10 years. In 1940 the whole budget was only 20 billion. To top it off, House members have admitted that they spend half of their time campaigning. It is hard to imagine a more ineffective bunch.

The previous bunch was pretty ineffective in their own right also. The most effective congress would be a bunch that runs on repealing 90 percent of our worthless legislation.

We need to vote straight tea party members in that take an oath to amend the constitution to implement term limits for congress and the senate. Term limits for senators and congressman should be 4 years, Governor 4 years as well, nothing more.

We are having this impass for one simple reason. One party doesn't believe that 14T is a big enough number to worry about and the other is being taken over by people that do think it needs to be worried about.

The Government at this time is changing the way it does business, they are bucking that change and that is causing these stalls in Congress. The stalls in Congress are not made because the two parties can't agree, they can, them both like spending money. The stalls are being caused by the people that are fed up with the spending. They are being elected in larger and larger numbers and the sitting political leaders dont know how to handle the reins of power being yanked away.

Well said, and if they dont like it now, they are really going to hate it after the 2012 elections.
 
who has him at 36%

Obama

Kind of high is you ask me.

Seriously I didn't know CNSnews did polls. I don't think that this really counts especially for 2 reasons. First it said 36% of MEN, is someone seriously suggesting that women don't count? Furthermore look at other polls realclearpolitics has him at 43%, gallup has him at 42% and even rasmussen has him at 45%. I'm not saying he is doing a good job, but you don't need to fudge the numbers to try and prove yourself.
Doesn't matter, no president has ever been re-elected with Unemployment above 7% anyways. History is against him, and his poll numbers are dropping. The mere fact that democrats are talking about suspending elections throws up a huge red flag as to how big of a hole they are in.
 
Say what you want about him. He does know economics and politics

He is definitely a professional politician, and he knows so much about economics he is systematically dismantling the greatest economy this earth has ever seen to replace it with a state run economy, which fails miserably and enslaves the people. If that's what you want, then by all means vote for him. My vote will go to Cain.

What a novel idea... :eusa_eh:

Rush Limbaugh... back in March, 2010.....



Alan Keyes really dished it out....2009...

Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes has given perhaps his most dire warning yet, saying that the Obama administration is preparing to stage terror attacks, declare martial law and cancel the 2012 elections, which is why they are demonizing their political enemies as criminals and terrorists.
...
“The minute they think they can get away with it, they will end this system of government and that is their intention,” added Keyes, noting that everyone acting as if the time we are in was just “business as usual” reminds him of the attitude of politicians in the Weimar Republic when Hitler was rising to power or eastern Europe when the Communists were taking over after the second world war.

Keyes said that because the majority of people are decent-minded, they believe others will play by the rules when this simply isn’t the case, warning that this attitude will allow evil to take over before we can do anything about it.
...

Obama may stage terror attacks and cancel 2012 elections

I can remember when Obama was elected that they were building detention camps for conservatives. Anymore false rumors?

Those fema camps have to be used somehow, I doubt they built them all over the country just for shits and giggles.
This is the one episode of conspiracy theory that I actually think might hold truth to it.

And to think....1 year ago, 2 years ago, etc, liberals mocked us for bringing up historical left wing regimes who oppressed and brutalized their people. Slowly but surely, left wing governments become tyranny. USSR, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Burma, Russia, Socialist Party of Germany, Vietnam...............they all start slowly and quietly.

Who'd have thought in the United States, a political party would begin suggesting elections be simply called off. And if they did, you know the blowback would be 100% against them, so the suspended elections would need to last.........how long?

Folks, there is a reason we feared the left wing takeover. It becomes more clear with each passing week. This is a dangerous, tyrannical ideology we are dealing with.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to vote Democrat.

You can always tell what a leftist wants by what he accuses conservatives of. During the Bush years, rabid drooling leftists were claiming Bush was going to declare Marshall Law (sic) and suspend the elections.

Never happened.

And now the idiot Democrat in the OP suggests elections be suspended.

I dont think we should fully blame the democrat party, I think it goes much deeper than that, check out number 15 of the communist goals. The democrats have allowed their party to be captured.
The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals
 
The proposed bill, which has received little mainstream media attention, appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany.

Never happen. To many privately owned guns in America for something like this to stand. Kinda why I am so for our right to bear arms. Besides if Obama tried to do this with Conservatives, it would only be a matter of time before we had a Military coup. After all the Military, especially the Brass Whole heatedly lean right and GOP.

Besides even if it were Liberals being detained in camps, the People and the Military would not stand for it.

I would be all for shipping them to a real communist/socialist country though. If they love that shit so much let them go live in it.
 
Funny that you say that, Projector Frank.
What's the problem? Keeping Dear Reader to one term would be best for the nation.

The problem is the people who hear a statement like that and say shit like "Keeping Dear Reader to one term would be best for the nation" when in order for that to happen the economy would have to stay in the shitter and when you have no idea who he would be replaced with.

You are cheerleading people who are doing everything they can to keep the economy down so you can have "anybody but Obama."

It's pathetic.

Party over country.

Is the economy being kept down just because that's what they told you is happening? Or is the economy being kept down because of 3 years of failed policies, and the Democrats trying to ram through even more failed policies? You're drinking the koolaid my man.
 
The Governor of NC a democrat has suggested we suspend Congressional elections. The reason is to somehow address the deficit spending her party supports.

She is a die hard Obama supporter and one can easily speculate that Obama had her float this idea.

Where are all those democrats that whined about Republicans wanting IDs and claiming that was denying Americans the right to vote? Your party suggests NO voting and total silence on your part

merged- del

I'll tell you where they are. Socialism is for the people, not the socialist. In other words, when it's them that are doing it, it's perfectly fine, when anyone else does it they lose there fucking minds.
They cannot defend this or spin this in any way shape or form, so they are hiding in a corner somewhere sucking their thumbs.

Doesn't matter who she made the statement to, the statement in itself is treasonous. I dont care if she mentioned it to a 5 year old walking down the street, the mere fact that she thought this is insulting and communistic.

If Chris Christie or Rubio would have said this, no matter who they said it to, you all would be losing your fucking minds over it right now. Hypocrites, every one of you. America has awoken, now it's time to go to work.
