WASHINGTON -- Between the chilly temperatures and the pace of the push-ups, there was plenty to complain about after eight lawmakers straggled into the park behind the Longworth House Office Building for their regular 6:30 a.m. workout.
While the others in the group griped and groaned on a recent Tuesday, Representative Tulsi Gabbard, 34, her Hindu prayer beads wrapped around a wrist for her daily yoga meditation, said little.
"Tulsi, you hearing a lot of whining?" asked Representative Markwayne Mullin, a burly Oklahoma Republican and former professional mixed martial arts fighter who leads the workouts, mocking the complaints of her companions.
"I'm feeling like whining," she replied between push-ups.

Ms. Gabbard, Democrat of Hawaii, has a reputation among her colleagues for being a composed, contemplative presence in a chamber more prone to reaction than reflection. But lately she has started to shed that persona. Since the deadly attacks in Paris, she has become a high-profile critic of President Obama's policies in Syria by amplifying her argument that President Bashar al-Assad should stay in power to avoid elevating the Islamic State and by introducing legislation to defund American efforts to overthrow him.

Notice how the ONLY ‘rising stars’ the media profiles are DEMOCRATS, with the possible exception of Rubio (i.e., making my point too).
Now, there's a rarity.
I'm sure she'll soon be politely informed where the bear s**ts in the buckwheat.
There’s is a very small universe.
I can't believe I typed that.
Assad is a butcher who helped create ISIS. He needs to go along with ISIS.
Cruz, Trump, Carson and Palin would never be called such by the leftwing media
Tulsi Gabbard has shown more spine in opposition to Obama than anyone in GOP House or Senate leadership. Next to her, the RINOs are pussies.
Impressive person or an incredible liar. Hawaii has given us more of the later. I’ll wait and see.
Ive heard her many times on Fox News she sticks to her beliefs and she supports our military. She is alright in my book I dont know her opinions on other issues but she is definitely NOT in agreement with Obama on ISIS and foreign policy, its why the DNC has basically distanced themselves from her
Lest we forget, Obama was also a “rising” star.
Pics, FReepers pics!
U.S., NATO, Saudis & Turkey are the ones behind ISIS.
Assad’s no saint but his sin is that won’t work with the Western powers and banks, so he’s on the list. U.S. did the same thing to Gaddiffi and Mubarak for some of the same reasons. Do you think that Al Queda in Libya and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt were good outcomes?
The U.S. is on the side of making things worse. You can see the same disordered thinking when it comes to the U.S. importing Syrian (ISIS) refugees. Don’t let blind patriotism fool you.
Not Guilty!
So much POTENTIAL to waste...
I’d hit that,
Spank it,
Film it,
Spend the weekend with reruns...
Another Hawaiian democrat? I’ll pass. Maybe she is on the choom gang, too.
I bet she will cross over within about three or four years. (I mean to the Republican side.)
I’ve researched about her before. Believe she is former military, so she’s cool there. However, bit time abortion backer if memory serves.
