Perdue jokes about suspending Congressional elections for two years

Submitted by jbfrank on 2011-09-27 13:57 Tags: Under the Dome | Congress | Gov. Bev Perdue
UPDATED: File this in the random-things-politicians-say file. 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.) Later Tuesday afternoon, Perdue's office clarified the remarks: "Come on," said spokeswoman Chris Mackey in a statement. "Gov. Perdue was obviously using hyperbole to highlight what we can all agree is a serious problem: Washington politicians who focus on their own election instead of whats best for the people they serve." The Republicans sure are taking it seriously as they look to score political points. Here's a statement from GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood: Now is a time when politicians need to be held accountable more than ever. To suspend an election would be removing the surest mechanism that people have to hold politicians accountable: the right to vote. Does the Governor not believe that people of North Carolina have the ability to think for themselves about whether or not the actions of elected officials are working?" UPDATED: GOP House candidate Paul Coble didn't think much of Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue's idea that congressional elections be suspended for two years so Congress can concentrate on the economy. Thats a proposal that only the politicians that have worsened our economic mess could appreciate, said Coble, who is chairman of the Wake County commissioners. Governor Perdue and the politicians in Washington may fear the message voters send next November. Perdue's full statement: "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."

...because even his core constituency is so fed up with this failed, socialist community organizer that his single-term fate is sealed already. The overwhelming majority of voters will ask themselves one question as they enter the booth: Am I better or worse off than I was four years ago?

THIS ALL-TOO-TYPICAL LIBERAL NUT

September 27, 2011 - 9:33pm jjd1965
Peter Orszag just printed an article saying the same thing. Obama has opined that he wished he could "work around" Congress. Woody Allen and a few other Hollywood libs have said the same thing. These are not jokes. Liberals are the most frightening threat to a Democratic Republic. At heart they are "let them eat cake" elitists who think the average voter is just too stupid to vote properly. They say shockingly arrogant and stupid things like this because, at heart, they are dictators. They prove every day the maxim "Absolute power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Which is EXACTLY why the Founding Fathers created the system that they did so that absolute LUNATICS like these liberals can only hold limited power and remain answerable to The People, That is why the Founding Fathers created the election process that they did, and here we have another leftwing nut opining how great it would be of Congress were NOT answerable to the People. They ignored us when they passed Obamacare' - how did that work out for them? A HISTORIC drubbing at the polls. We need leaders that LOVE the institutions as they were created to function to safeguard us from dictators. Not those who wish for dictatorial powers. The Constitutions safeguards are FAR more important than someone's agenda. Login to post comments

"I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN

September 27, 2011 - 9:28pm dannyvice
"I really hope someone can agree with me on that." This statement alone shows that Purdue was not only dead serious about suspending elections, she also hopes her belief gains traction and becomes reality. No reasonable person says "I hope people will agree with me on this" if they are joking. So you are reduced to believe one of two things. Either this woman is an incompetent fool who can't speak a coherant sentence, or she meant her statement in earnest. Either way, she is not fit for the job and must be removed from office.

CONSTITUTION
The media has already started their campaign to re-elect Obama. THey present him as a strong leader, which he isn't, and are trying to narrow down the Republican field to the weakest they can find. Notice most of the Republicans candidates are not getting any coverage. Paul and Huntsman are essentially ignored. THe media attempts show the Tea Party candidates as extreme and to marginalize them. Obama has clearly lost the independents and comments like this from a Democrat only alienate them further.

CRONY JOURNALISM
September 27, 2011 - 9:14pm dannyvice
There is a difference between spinning a news article vs. outright lying.... Spinning an issue is bad enough, but fabricating news in order to provide damage control for a member of congress is blatant cronyism. Her statement most CERTAINLY was not delivered as a joke... Nor did the statement contain ANY reference that would lead any reasonable person to interpret it as a joke. Oh, I'm sure she will issue some kind of an excuse for her statement....now that it has gone viral. But a news reporter's job is to report facts and events.... not re-interpret a political candidate's words into a more palitable headline. NewsObserver - you are corrupt and worthless as a source of believable news. It's no wonder I've never heard of this site before, and you can be assured I will never spend a minute on it again.

Notice the State Run Media quickly trying to cover for Perdue. No, she wasn't joking. She's following the Socialist template from this Regime. "Trash the Constitution till you get what you want." If these delusional Dems still think we're on the "road to recovery", why think about elections? If you truly believe you're going to renew the economy and create jobs, the election shouldn't even concern you. It's more lies and deception from Left; something we're accustomed to by now. That's why the Tea Party sent a message last November and why we're sending a big one in 2012. We've had enough! All of this president's bills have been passed (so can the pathetic "obstructionist Republicans" blame game) and they've been an epic FAIL. We need someone with proven leadership qualities. We can get you a job, and help you chase the American Dream, with smaller government and an improving economy.Go with the party that will put more money in your pockets and less in the government's.

Joke or no joke you should be entirely ashamed of yourself. Not only was it an obnoxious gaffe, it was unprofessional and the kind of a joke we would expect out of a High Schooler. I would not go so far as to ask you to resign but I would totally support a recal if I were a resident of your state. You should have known before you said it that it was something that should have not been said. If you did not, then you need to do some deep reflection. Shameful Gov. Bev Perdue, utterly shameful!

She just speaking what's on every Democrat's mind. They know it's the only way they'll be able to keep power. Comrade Obama isn't willing to take any bona fide steps to improve the economy. And the Democrats know the People will revolt against their rule in November 2012. So it slipped her lips, probably as a trial balloon, to see what kind of reaction they get. The stupid 1/3 of this Country will of course say: Great Idea! Another 1/3 will say that's weird, not a great idea. And the other 1/3, Republicans and tea-partiers and other normal people, know that this has always been on the minds of Comrade Obama, the liberals, socialists, communists, the Congressional black caucus, the eco-terrorists, and the black-liberation theology faction -- nut-jobs all. It's been a cold-civil war so far (credit D. Kahane). But the public could go unhinged with loose talk like that. And if they're serious? Articles of Impeachment & conviction for any public official who seriously proposes such an outrageous suspension of our rights. Login to post comments

Your comment suggesting the suspension of a Congressional election is a comment I never thought I would hear from an American politician. It is not something you do in jest. Yes, the economy and the lack of jobs are serious problems. But, let me assure you, the American system of government...a government of the people, by the people and for the people is more than capable of dealing with it. And it begins by dealing with the people who are responsible for the problems. This includes (in no specific order): All the politicans, both Republican and Democratic who have stolen our Social Security to pay for their hometown pet projects. Who have spent our precicious cash resources on such "important" things as bridges to nowhere, gay sex studies, $16 dollar muffins, $5 dollar meatballs, $110 toilet seats (and that's just a few)...and now have the audacity to demand more in taxes from us for a jobs program that even Bill Clinton says won't work! The President Of The United States is a liar. Yes, I said it. The jobs program and the stimulus he proposes is chock full of "fees", which will not be assessed only on "millionaires and billionaires", it will be assesed on everyone...rich, middle class and yes, the poor. It's a power grab...and a money grab because he knows nothing else to do, but spend money...a supposed answer to our problems already discredited by his spending over the first two years. We've spent enough. It's time for this "spending like drunken sailors party" to come to an end. We have to get our fiscal house in order. It will be painful. We do not need to be financing the arts, public broadcasting, an energy department, and an EPA which is hindering business from taking steps which can put people to work immediately. We don't need an education department, either...we need good teachers and good administrators who are allowed to do their jobs and...yes...parents who care. We need a social safety net, yes. But we don't need 100 plus weeks of unemployment...we don't need constant handouts that go, in part, to the same derelicts of society who refuse to contribute to it. And, we don't need dozens of czars not approved by Congress or the Constitution with powers to rule over our lives.

Yeah, right.) that we suspend the Constitution to leave the same bunch of bozos in office that have made this mess even worse? You are one ignorant person if you do. As Americans, we remember.

THE AGE OF OHBUMMER

September 27, 2011 - 8:11pm John_Locke
OhBummer is a fool for attacking the American Tea Partiers. Heck, he thought that he had all of us hoodwinked, hornswoggled, and bamboozled. Hes annoyed that the Tea Partiers are not grateful to him for hijacking the American healthcare system --- the greatest act of vandalism perpetrated upon the American people since a gang of jihadi frootloops and loonytoons hijacked some planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center towers --- and the Pentagon, and made a failed attempt to crash into the White House --- and instead drilled a hole in a Pennsylvania farm thanks to some very courageous American passengers. And --- now widely seen for what he is --- the president presents a problem for the Democrat-captured media. They pump out his propaganda for him --- and, like the opinion monitors in Ayn Rands novel, Atlas Shrugged --- they are dodging brickbats and rotten vegetables. Hes pompous, pampered, and pretentious --- a pseudo-intellectual fop. Hes a glorified, smooth-lyin dandy, and slicker than Sick Willie Clinton. Hes a dictator-on-the-make, a bloodsxcking, predatory humanitarian thug, and a low-down skunk. Hes a fraud and a swindler. He lies when he inhales and he lies when he exhales; his oxygen is the falsification of reality. He lies, placidly and laconically, as if deception were a soporific drug. Hes a friend of the poor and the downtrodden --- indeed, you can hear the milk of human kindness sloshing around inside of him when he walks. He declares himself the post-racial leader --- Let me be clear! he intones --- and he hides behind his race, daring his critics to put their reputation for fairness at risk. He pauses to ponder the portent of his propaganda --- and it is fakery; he smiles and his mendacity comes shining through. Shake hands with Barak Hushpuppy OhBummer --- The Mistake of 08 --- the illegal alien squatter in the White House until his papers have been lab-tested for age and chemicals, etc --- and Americas first and last Arab president --- King of The Republic of Lies.

SAM ADAMS IS MORE THAN JUST A GREAT YANKEE BEER!

TAX HATER SAMUEL ADAMS, ON A ROLL AND ARMED TO THE TEETH, AUGUST, 1776 "You darkeners of counsel, who would make the property, lives and religion of millions depend on the evasive interpretations of musty parchments; who would send us to antiquated charters of uncertain and contradictory meaning, to prove that the present generation are not bound to be victims to cruel and unforgiving despotism, tell us whether our pious and generous ancestors bequeathed to us the miserable privilege of having the rewards of our honesty, industry, the fruits of those fields which they purchased and bled for, wrested from us at the will of men over whom we have no check. "Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, What should be the reward of such sacrifices? Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, and supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. Courage, then, my countrymen, our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty. Dismissing, therefore, the justice of our cause, as incontestable, the only question is, What is best for us to pursue in our present circumstances? It does not take a majority to prevail.but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can. The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. Login to post comments

9/27/2011 6:45 PM
What this country needs is a truly LIBERAL president and congress and judiciary! And I forgive the reader for suspecting that this must be some kind of bad joke! But the Democrats believe in "statism" --- not "liberalism." Strip them naked of their fake "liberal" label and expose their ugliness for all the world to see. They benefit from the imprecise American political terminology ---- we say "the government" here in the USA ---- rather than "the state." And that's a dangerous problem. Famous brands of statism in recent centuries have been Nazism, socialism, fascism, communism, and welfare statism ---- this last is sort of a mix of fascism and socialism. Liberalism, on the other hand, is a political philosophy of small, cheap government ---- it is a constabulary ---and the job of a liberal government is to enforce human rights within its own jurisdiction. I speak of the unalienable and perfectly-natural and universally-valid human rights of life, liberty, private property, and the pursuit of personal happiness. The first article of private property is "the self" and all other rights are derivatives of and flow from these cardinal rights. These rights ---- The Rights of Man ---- are the gift of nature or of nature's god ---- and they belong to all human beings, everywhere. Show me a Democrat who subscribes to all of the above, without qualifications or weasel words. The words "liberal" and "liberalism" were hijacked by the Democrats and socialists and fascists long ago ---- and it was the mistake of conservatives and libertarians to let them get away with it. It is long past time that liberalism be reclaimed, defined, and explained by its rightful owners ---- by the champions of freedom, i.e.: not by Democrats. Well, how about "progressivism?" Whuzzat?! Cancer is progressive, too. Isn't progressivism just another statist cancer? It chews you up, piece by piece, in the name of Da Peepul? Eat Da Rich? Moral cannibalism, anyone? Friends of freedom! Friends of peace-through-strength! And friends of prosperity! Declare yourselves to be "liberals," then ---- and kick over the bloody coffee tables --- and overthrow and trounce the Democrats in 2012! Login to post comments

TERM LIMITS
September 27, 2011 - 7:59pm shlee69
We need Congressional session limits. Congress can meet 3 times per year. Each session can last no more than 30 consecutive calendar days. The minimum time between sessions must not be less than 90 calendar days. Congressmen and Senators will receive pay for days in session but all pay will be limited to a maximum of 90 days per fiscal year. Congressmen will have neither a government retirement program nor a government supported Healthcare program. Every state is required to have a re-call statute for elected government officials both state and Federal. Moreover, each state must enact a Responsibility and Accountability Law (RAL) to ensure all elected officials act in consonance with the will of the people they were elected to represent. Legislative excesses in spending or taxation will be punishable under the provisions of the RAL at state level. Now let's see how much trouble they can cause.

NC DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR BEV PERDUE ON SUSPENDING ELECTIONS

No surprise to me that a political party which claims always to be the instrument of "the people" would dream of thwarting the peoples' ability to replace that political party with representatives and executives who are very serious about getting the USA back on track toward prosperity "ASAP." The Democrats are too busy stuffing their pockets with tax money to be worried about such petty concerns.

If she would just focus on what it is the people want and not spend so much time trying to figure out ways to spin their agenda, then she wouldn't even need to campaign. She can say she was joking but for the synapsis to be there that means she thought it. Either she really believes it and just threw it out there or her edit feature is broken.
