@TulsiGabbard

$600 is a slap in the face to every American struggling due to the pandemic. You deserve better.

I voted against the 5,593-page spending bill that gave billions to corporate interests, the military industrial complex & other countries, leaving crumbs for you who need help most.

Because it is a lard filled trojan horse?

She sure is nice to look at...but I'm not buying it.

Along with the "breathless" veto by Paul and Cruz...it means nothing. It screams "look at me!....LOOK AT ME!!!!"

The $900B stimulus package was rolled into a $1.4T omnibus bill.

All Kabuki theater. Don't expect a veto from Trump either.

Here is my actual line in my post: but compared to most democrats she’s fairly “gun friendly”

You left out the “compared to most democrats” part.

If I said, “Compared to Satan, Hitler was a pretty nice guy” I would hope that people didn’t quote me as saying “Hitler was a pretty nice guy.”.

Just sayin’. ;)

The Free Republic. All Tulsi. All the time.


Not so far.

But this does demonstrate why she is a bit of a risk to Republicans. Elections are won in the middle.

Fair point, but I’d rather we just agree that both Satan and Hitler are awful. When we’re that far down the spectrum, distinctions seem pretty pointless.

With regards to Gabbard, anyone who earns a 100% from the Brady Campaign and a 0% from the NRA is about as bad as it gets. Is she the absolute worst frothing-at-the-mouth gun-grabbing psychopath? No. Is she an ally? Absolutely not. She wants to disarm Americans every bit as much as most other Democrats and far too many Republicans. To Hell with her and those who think like her. They would gladly prep us for a tyrant.

I agree. But as I said in my post just before that one, elections are won in the middle, which is why Gabby concerned me.

Tulsi Gabbard could openly call for every gun in America to be forcibly taken by the military and melted down in front of the owners and the people of Hawaii would hold a parade in her honor. There is no middle with those people. They’re still pissed they can’t have their king back.

But also a severe leftist in some ways. Really hard to understand what makes her tick.

I actually voted for Tulsi in the primary. Yeah, I'm a registered "D" so we can see what propaganda they send without watching the lamestream news.

I did NOT know that Tusli also backed her party by introducting a born-alive infant protection bill for abortions. Wow...

That is Padma Lakshimi, not Tulsi. Tulsi has not had breast implants
