Gabbard is a naive neocon sadly

I don't think you know the definition of either naive or neocon. Tulsi Gabbard serves in our military and has spoken against most of our foreign entanglements that support the military industrial complex, not our country or soldiers. Her demeanor may be opposite Trump, but her policies and awareness threaten the deep state equally. Not everybody who "graduates" from a program becomes indoctrinated. Know thyself, know they enemy."

I'm conflicted on Tulsi, too.. For me, as long as she has a (D) by her name, she hasn't seen the light yet.

The letter is meaningless. You think (R) next to Crenshaw, Romney or Cheney is a sign of anything remotely good?

Agreed, but the (D) removes any doubt!

Manchin and Sinema remind me of professional wrestling characters acting out scripts.

Agreed. Tulsi will get the opportunity to show her true colors. Until then, remember the sons of Korah. Lesson being: Not every son/daughter follows in parental footsteps. I first started paying attn to Tulsi when I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxaRt-LlpEk

Well said. The only issue I donтАЩt agree with her on so far is gun control. So, thatтАЩs a tough one.

When she spoke this month at the Western Conservative Conference in Denver she talked about the second as well as the first amendment. She may not be completely there but I think she is coming around at least I hope that to be the case.

Some people take longer to get to the correct (less government) idea on various issues!

Neocons are warmongers, that is not what she espouses. But she could be a Trojan Horse.

Tulsi, in my opinion, has maintained level-headedness, poise, and principles probably better than any other household-name 'politician' in the spotlight.

It could be that our hesitation and apprehension derives from a 'too good to be true' mindset combined with the obvious betrayal we've all experienced by our "representatives" the past two years..... Or she really is one heck of a Trojan Horse who's manure we're getting waft of.

Time will tell: when she's cornered into an ultimatum.

The complete capture of neocons and neolibs by the MIC makes it clear that anyone willing to speak out against the war machine has gone rogue. These days it takes even more courage to call out lies related to the Ukraine propaganda than it does to call out vax problems.
