Forget it, Perdue, you'll be gone in 2012.
I've been waiting for some sensible talk about politics, and finally, here it is!
“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 and 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.
Why? Why would she say that?
Because she is a prisoner of the liberal -- or leftist -- idea that the people are incapable of making sound decisions about politics, and require a "vanguard" of the enlightened to make decisions on their behalf.

A Representative Republic? That's So Last Century
"So what to do? To solve the serious problems facing our country, we need to minimize the harm from legislative inertia by relying more on automatic policies and depoliticized commissions for certain policy decisions. In other words, radical as it sounds, we need to counter the gridlock of our political institutions by making them a bit less democratic." - Peter Orszag
Who is Peter Orszag? Vice Chairman of Global Banking at Citigroup, Bloomberg "view" columnist, an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and....... most importantly.... The former director of the Office of Management and Budget for President Obama.
What time is it again?
I sure hope that you good folks in North Carolina do something to get rid of this problem.

She narrowly lost to the lady Republican contender last time and the last I saw, she was running again and ahead in a poll.
