Statist desires from North Carolina

Caught in the act, she now says it was a 'joke'.  But if this was a joke, when North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue suggested Congressional elections should be suspended, she desperately needs to work on her delivery.

“Listen to the Governor’s words: She wasn’t joking at all,” North Carolina GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood told The Daily Caller. “The congressional Democrats are wildly unpopular in North Carolina, so she may have been trying to invent a solution to save their jobs from public accountability.”

Perdue's comments echo Leftist sentiments that we've heard before of securing power, and are reminiscent of Peter Orzag's latest hit, "Why we need less democracy."  I know these guys want a socialist democracy to replace, or rather rip up the roots of, our constitutional republic, but...err, statist fascism is not the solution, folks.
