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.”

Thinking people in NC have always known Bev Perdue was retarded - now we can add deranged to the list.

This is what we get when our wonderful dedicated teachers groups have their puppet in office.

She was on a few short lists to take TOTUS’s spot should he pull an LBJ and back out of running in 2012...now she’s dead meat, politically.

This is satire, right? Or did Obama tell her to say that? She’s not smart enough to come up with it on her own.

Is this to get the idea out there so when Obama does it, it's "for the good of the country?" Don't even think about it. . .

Don’t *THINK*, Bev, you’ll only hurt the ball club.

I’m sure she’s getting a call from D.C. saying wait till AFTER we get their guns before we do that.

She’s a friggin’ fascist.

The RATs just never quit trying to subvert the country. Looks like the good folks of North Carolina elected a Marxist too. She’s up for election with FUBO next year. She won last time by the skin of her teeth.

Perdue defeated McCrory on November 4, 2008, 50.3 % to 46.9 %

Time to clean out the NC Statehouse!

I don’t even have to look to know that she is a leftist nutcase woman past 55 who has lost all her lubrication and is not only dried up between her knees she is dried up between her ears.

I’m convinced that women like her, Pelosi, Clinton and others should not be in any public office because they are mentally unstable due to a chemical imbalance in the brain caused by their age. I’m serious. I see these types over and over all over the political spectrum. From city council and school boards on up. Older leftist women that go crazy in later years. They get nutty and pissed off and want to take over the lives of everyone else.

The interesting thing is that most conservative women within the same age group do not have this issue.

I’ve been wondering when a dimrat would suggest this and who would be the first. Ok, the ice has been broken.

That's the best NC Republicans could come up with. They should call for the FBI to investigate this blatant call for insurrection.
