NC Dem Gov. Bev Perdue doesn't want to have to worry about the next election. How about worrying about the next civil war? Does that work for her?

Mr. President? Janet, Kay and I were talking and we think it would be a great idea if you just suspended the 2012 elections. Yes. . . Yes . . . You do too? Why that's just wonderful."

Ace of Spades writes here about this. No wonder CSGV advocates a "Government Monopoly of Violence."

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.

Read her full remarks below.

"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. 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."

Let's see. Suspend an election, get a bloody civil war. . . What's not to like?


When democracy turns to tyranny, I still get to vote.
