Perez: late to the game – KXL

I always figure that ten minutes early is the only way to be on time.

Apparently, not so much for embattled liberal Democrat Marie Perez, member of Congress.

Perez missed one of the most significant votes this year…the one that keeps the U.S. government from shutting down.

Now, Perez claims she was, in her words, “casting a vote, but my vote was not acknowledged.”

She missed the deadline because she couldn’t be bothered to show up on time for her job.

We all have deadlines. On the radio, you don’t have the freedom to be five minutes late. We call that “dead air.”

Video on Capitol Hill shows Perez sprinting onto the House floor in a vain attempt to make it in time.

About a year from now, Congresswoman Perez faces a tough re-election bid, and I figure State Senator John Braun will beat her in that election.

As the Washington State Standard points out, “Perez would have been the lone Democrat in the Washington delegation to join them. As it was, only one Democrat in the House, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted for the legislation.”

Perez is especially foolish because she wants to claim credit for voting “yes” on funding the government.

Her own hyper-liberal political friends in the Democratic Party will hate her for siding with Republicans… and Republicans are already calling her out for talking a good game but not showing up to play.
