I am now officially ashamed to have lived 20 years in such a State. The academics, transplants from New England, and Liberal bastions that make up the urban, metropolitan areas elected this disgrace.
If she ever went to rural NC, she would be tar & feathered, from the REAL TARHEELS!!!!
Is this impeachable? The comments seem to suggest, that if they take away the voting box,....there is always the ammo box,....
This is why we have the 2nd Amendment.http://biggovernment.com/publius/2011/09/27/dem-governor-hey-lets-suspend-congressional-elections-for-two-years/Speaking to a Cary rotary club today, N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue suggested suspending Congressional elections for two years so that Congress can focus on economic recovery and not the next election.
“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 said. “You want people who don’t worry about the next election.”
The comment — which came during a discussion of the economy — perked more than a few ears. It’s unclear whether Perdue, a Democrat, is serious — but her tone was level and she asked others to support her on the idea.

“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.
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. The one good thing about Raleigh is that for so many years we worked across party lines. I call BS on that. It’s a little bit more contentious now but it’s not impossible to try to do what’s right in this state. You want people who don’t worry about the next election.”
