Suspend the 2012 Elections

Currently, there are those who, as the media says, "was just joking", that want to suspend the 2012 elections so that politicians are not wasting the time and money on campaigns and can focus on turning our country around. This is a very sad and pathetic joke. Personally, I think it was a way to test the waters to see just how the public would respond, and the media has put the "just a joke" spin on it once it was discovered that nobody, regardless of party affiliation, found it funny or constitutional.

Well first off, this shows their concern about themselves being able to get re-elected and using the excuse of wanting to get done what should have been done 3 years ago. They should think before making "jokes" in such bad taste, especially when it would severally violate our constitution.

Additionally, as a theoretical side note, if anyone in office feels that the 2012 campaign is preventing any office holder from doing their job, maybe they should stop campaigning and let their record be their campaign. Should that not be sufficient enough for them, then maybe they should consider the option to end the campaigns now, and simply hold the elections in November 2011.

This would require the winners of the elections to hold office an extra year in order to keep all of the future elections on track accordingly. This would also serve the purpose of ending all campaigns and allow whoever is president and a members of congress to focus on getting done what should have been done 3 years ago. The jobs bill should have been the very first thing the president focused on once sworn in, not 3 years later at re-election.

Finally, if the president and congress are unable to focus on their duties because of campaigns, then it just might be time for the state governors to suspend the federal government, and create a 50 member panel of governors to operate the government until the 2012 elections are held. This would help the problem of the out of control spending, since the federal government would effectively be shut down. We would not be paying salaries or benefits to millions of federal employees, president, or congress, this would give them time to enjoy unemployment like everyone else. The governor panel could bring home all the troops and the federal reserve would have to stop printing counterfeit money and bailing out their buddies. Should this opinion piece offend anyone, well, just think of it as another "joke". I don't have the media on my side like they do, it is my job to raise awareness and get people from all sides thinking in America's best interest.
