Politico

I was sitting at my desk when a little IM popped up from the guy on the side of the office from me, it was a WRAL article on their website about a "joke" Gov. Perdue had made at a Cary Rotory club meeting. Her joke was a personal opinion that we should suspend upcoming congressional elections to allow politicions to focus on the job at hand. Below is the quote;

"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'm left with one of two thoughts, either one she is the worst comedian in the world or two she represents one of the worst ideas we've heard recently in political history or is it? I present exhibit B a quote from President Obama at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus;

"There are times where -- until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again -- I'd like to work my way around Congress."

In case you aren't aware these ideas represent an anti-democratic society. In developing democratic countries when elected officials become worried that the next election will give them the boot they start using phrases like "suspend elections indefinately". This is a polite way of saying, not allow you to get my ass out of office. What you don't find on WRAL.com is that the very next line from Perdue is "I really hope that someone can agree with me on that." That's not indicative of a joke at all, it's a ralley cry to get people behind the idea of not voting out congressional officials from office. Asked yourself this, how is this in anyway an acceptable idea when this is the same government that in March of 09' supported GM's "taskforce" ousting of then GM CEO Rick Wagoner and most of the board because of their poor management of GM to the point of nearly going under.

So here we are over two years later, the tea party has released simple math showing the American public that the government is spending nearly twice as much yearly as it takes in and has debt equivalent to to almost seven times our yearly revenue and yet instead of someone recommending we replace all the politicians now we have people recommending taking that power away from the people. The idea that this would be done for the greater good of the country hints at facism and should wake you up. I'm not an zealout when it comes to politics, in general I think partisianship is meant to keep us divided and fighting each other instead of seeing how poor either side runs thing but the idea of taking away our ability to determine who is in office in the first place is terrifying at best.

On top of Perdue's call for political protection for our Congress our President wants the ability to move around them without interferance. Wouldn't that be great, a leader without accountability to anyone and the ability to do whatever he like. It'd be awesome, like a dictatorship. That's exactly what we need right now. Our fiat money is becoming even more worthless, our local politicians want to make sure they'll never be ousted like common sense and our President wants to be the next Fidel.

Good luck out there people, we're going to need it.
