Interesting that Perdue is "thinking outside the box." Part of the problem is that our Congresspeople are not being held responsible for their inability to come up with ways to bolster the economy. It's about money.

So a more Constitutional way to make the critters accountable more quickly is to tie their pay to the performance of the economy. The more the economy tanks, the lower their paycheck becomes. Ditto the White House policy makers.

If they can't fix the problem, they should share the pain. Isn't that what Obama was saying?

Her own office said she was “joking”..... how would the wacko’s care to explain that if it didn’t happen?

Many of them don’t care about the “paycheck”. Pelosi is married to a billionaire. She loves those perks, free military flights, free booze, served by military officers....

Interesting ... she wants to cancel the congressional elections but not the presidential ...

On a side note, how far has NC fallen to elect such a leftist hag.

It’s simply the conclusion of the leftist mindset.

Their mindset is that those who are alive now are so much more advanced than people from the past that no rules set by those past people should hold any weight when compared to the decisions of intellectuals alive today.

It simply is an extension of the evolutionary mindset, as is all of liberalism.

Facing further losses in the House and potential loss of the Senate and Presidency, the Democrats have called for a “time out” to allow them time to destroy America while they still maintain the power to pack courts with leftist allies. This is the ultimate goal which, once established, will end what was good about America and brought millions to this country.

Obama himself has suggested a few times this summer that he would like to govern without Congress.

And people confined to 'the infernal regions' would like a glass of iced water, doesn't exactly mean they're going to get it...

This can be a very big deal. Bigger than Bobby Ethridge attacking that guy or Phil Hare trashing the constitution.

Someone needs to stick a fork in this Perdue chick and see if it’s done.

I think the DemonRats should follow Ms Perdue’s suggestion and just not show up to vote for the next few years.

Obama would like to be like Papa Doc Duvalier of Haiti: “O-baa-ma, Leader of the People. President for life.” The Donkeys and RINOs would approve.

She should be removed from office immediately! A statement like that from any public office holder, much less a sitting governor, should be an immediate and irrevocable disqualification from office for life. Nothing about that attitude could be further from the principles of this republic. It is unacceptable, joke or no joke, coming from a public official.

I am as serious as can be. Unless the people of NC just like being clowns and sheep who exist for the abusive amusement of jackasses like Perdue then they should be at the capital tomorrow morning helping her clean her office OUT!

Metaphorically speaking; it needs to be done with full strength chlorine bleach.

I agree. See what happens when you fail to hold elections. The president (not capitalized on purpose) of the Palestinians just went to the UN with a demand for statehood, but he cancelled their elections years ago. He has no legitimacy, just like Hitler (look it up). How do you know what he proposed is the actual will of the inhabitants if they can't vote?

“Let’s suspend elections for congress for a couple of years to let them help this country recover...”

Just the tip, just for a second, just to see how it feels.

OK honey?

Here I go . . .

PERDUE: 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.

This should win an award as a CER (Career Ending Remark). I think she is going to lose the next election.

We are already moving toward a police state and have been since the passage of the National Security Act of 1947.
Since 9-11 we have moved even faster toward a Neo Fascist State with a loss of more freedoms all predicated on the insane War on Terror.
Now we know exactly where Obama and the Democrats, and probably a number of Republicans, want to go. In effect to try and use not only the possibility of another terrorist attack for the 2012 elections but more importantly laying the groundwork in the event of a economic collapse of some kind.
Take Perdue’s words for what she said and as a prelude to a warning, these Leftists would like nothing better than to be able to suspend elections at some point. Obama certainly would like the opportunity to be like his hero Lincoln and suspend as many parts of the Constitution as possible all in the name of preserving the country in the event of an economic collapse.
