NRO– She’s young, she’s hip, and she’s beautiful.
She’s also a combat veteran and a Democrat who has made headlines for slamming the Obama administration’s rudderless foreign policy.
Tulsi Gabbard may be a Democrat, but the 33-year-old congresswoman from Hawaii has endeared herself to right-wing hawks by showing a willingness to buck the president, and her party, on foreign affairs. “I like her thinking a lot,” American Enterprise Institute president Arthur Brooks tells National Review in an e-mail. Brooks describes Gabbard as “smart and reasonable,” as well as “pragmatically strong on defense.”
“She could be a very powerful new voice on the D side,” he says.
It’s not often, especially in the Age of Obama, that you hear prominent Republicans lavish praise on up-and-coming Democrats. But Gabbard’s public condemnation of the president’s national-security strategy is turning heads and winning her rave reviews from across the aisle.
She’s not afraid to call a spade a spade…or muzzie in this case. She’d better watch her back!
What are the odds on an indictment by the end of the year?
I thought demorats couldn’t touch a gun?
Still young enough to learn how to become Conservative… or corrupt.
Come on over to the iOTWreport dark side soldier…
So why is she a dem? She holds too many views to stay a Regressive-They brook NO deviation.
REgressives goose step like Nazis and when you’re not in step, you’re cast out.
Three words: Senator Bob Menendez
Sorry, but how can any sane person be a Demoncrat; when they’ve been taken over by the Commies?
“So why is she a dem?”
My guess would be she is a smart conservative, more or less, that knows to win in Hawaii you have a D behind your name. The mindless will vote for you, some twice. It also guarantees the dead vote and those in nursing homes that let volunteers “help” them with their ballots. And if it turns out she ran as a D and lied about it they may see that as a plus.
I know, it’s confusing.
Combat Veteran? I didn’t think women served in combat roles.
tctsunami – right on. Hawaii is solid plantation democrat. It’ll be interesting to see how Tulsi fares,
She’s solid on defense, so those in the military in Hawai’i will vote for her and the D after her name will guarantee the LoFo and the dead vote.
She’s a shoe-in.
Yeah….flap all she wants. Party trumps person…..always.
Squirrel!
Unspecified “specialist” in a rear area medical unit. The rest of her military career seems to be almost military tourism of quite protected assignments.
Barring further information I’d have to venture the “Combat Assignments” is quite kind.
The Dems can benefit from her. And God knows they are short on divas.
