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 & 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.”

Really?
I think we ought to suspend Congress indefinitely, and just tell them we are going to operate under a Direct Democracy, with the guidance of Ron Paul. Just to let us help this country recover.
It is vital to understand that there is no truth without discernment and no wisdom without the truth. What then is “faith” but an effort to confound truth and wisdom?

Down with tits. Not titorite, who is only reporting the insanity.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Well now the story has updated and her office is saying that she was obviously making a joke....however when you read her quote in context the only thing that becomes obvious is that she is pretty freaking stupid....and she totally believed what she was saying....to quote: "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."

I don't think they worry now ... if they get booted they can lobby their replacement and double their income without having to take bribes. This Governor bitch is an idiot.
Americans are a desparately dysfunctional society that mirrors a battered wife; too weak to fight back and beginning to enjoy the rush caused by the constant abuse.
I know this forum is aware of the national mood, but it's truly time to get prepared for a fight.
Ahh Thanks to whoever fixed my broken title !!!!
