Hawaii Dem takes on Obama
THE HILL ^ | 05/14/15 | Kristina Wong

One of the toughest critics of President Obama’s strategy against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat who represents his home state of Hawaii.

Gabbard has taken the administration to task for refusing to use the term “radical Islam” and called for the White House to be more aggressive.

Why is she a democrat? She sounds more like a Republican than most Republicans.

Gabbard, 34, one of the youngest members of Congress, is a Hawaii Army National Guard captain with two deployments under her belt, including a year in Iraq, where she served in a field medical unit.

She later served in Kuwait as a platoon commander for a military police unit that accompanied a brigade running convoys. Those experiences have shaped her views on the fight against ISIS and given her credibility as a member of the House Armed Services Committee.

Maybe because she doubt’s that she could be elected as a Pubbie in Hawaii. To reverse it, could McLame be elected in AZ as a Dhimmicrat? I doubt it.

She is a Democrat because she is pro-choice. She is also the daughter of Hare Krishnas, and continues to practice her faith.
