More hypocrisy from RINO Sen. Jim Perry, this time on term limits | Eastern North Carolina Now

A postcard has just landed on behalf of RINO Senator Jim Perry espousing term limits.  But the curious thing is that he does NOT push for them for the office that he holds., not even on anyone at the state level where he serves.  Instead, he is all for them at the federal level where they will not apply to him.  What hypocrisy!

Indeed, while the NC General Assembly could propose a Constitutional amendment to the state Constitution to create term limits for the state House and Senate, they don't have the power to do that at the federal level.  Yet he is all for something he can't even do!  This is just blue smoke and mirrors to try to create a false facade of being somewhat conservative.

This is the same RINO Jim Perry who played an active role in imposing the Green New Deal on North Carolina, the same RINO  Jim Perry who played a major role in imposing the Obamacare Medicaid expansion on NC, the same RINO Jim Perry who pushed a corrupt money grab by Blue Cross raiding its reserves, and the same RINO Jim Perry who has been at the forefront of pushing gambling casinos all over our state after taking over $40,000 from mostly out-of-state gambling interests. THAT Jim Perry.

Here is who really NEEDS term limits; the Speaker of the NC House and the President Pro Tem of the Senate. There is way too much power concentrated in those offices to the detriment of individual legislators and their constituents. Has Perry introducted any legislation on that? No, he hasn't.

For a century, there was a honor system in the NC House of one term Speakers, which prevented a concentration of power. Then Democrat Liston Ramsey decided he was going to be Speaker for life and in the process became an obnoxious dictator. A group of conservative and good government Democrats led by Joe Mavretic joined with Republicans to oust Ramsey and elect Mavretic as speaker. Unfortunately, our last two GOP Speakers have turned out to be Ramsey wannabees, and that is not good for the state or the GOP.

In the Senate, there was no concentration of power because Senate power was divided between the Lieutenant Governor and the President Pro Tem. When Jim Gardner was elected as a GOP Lt. Governor, the Democrats stripped him of most of his legislative power and concentrated it in President Pro Tem Marc Basnight, who became another little dictator. Unfortunately, Republicans have followed in Basnight's footsteps and kept too much power concentrated.

Term limits on these offices, even if only two or three terms, would do a lot to end this concentration of power.
