NOPEI’ve been on record here, for years, commending her on her willingness to address issues that other politicians, from either party, wouldn’t. 2A has always been her weak point and I will not apologize for being cautiously optimistic that she has genuinely changed and not just grifting.
And I myself have used my beauty to change minds, so I speak from experience.
Read my lips..........All politicians lie for votes. Believe me, once a gun grabber, always a gun grabber. That goes double for politicians! Trust them at your own peril IMHO!
That’s not Tulsi but actress Padma Lakshmi. That bikini photo is all over the web as fake Tulsi….
Everything else aside, you guys fawning over her really should see her close. up without all the heavy foundation layers on, look alot like her face was on fire and someone put out with a golf shoe.
But she still ain’t getting me to vote for her. Not ever.I stand by my judgement:
That she's attractive compared to other politicians, military officers, and MPs.
You haven't had worse?Or not so beautiful. There are those here who think ¡Ocasio! is hawt.
She is in the private sector.Tulsi and one eyed willie should be shoveling shit in the private sector
No shit…And she should be shoveling it.She is in the private sector.
...and what about those pointy elbows!That’s not Tulsi but actress Padma Lakshmi. That bikini photo is all over the web as fake Tulsi….
True, but TDS is why I will be voting for Trump in the primary if he is in the ballot!I’m going to let everyone in on a secret. Everything doesn’t have to do with Trump.
Trump didn't need to know what it was he signed on to banning, just like Feinstein had no idea what an assault weapon was at the time. Trump just wanted to ban it, confiscate it and worry about due process later.
Keep in mind that when Charlie Faker was running he was going to be the best thing in MA, since sliced bread on 2A issues.Whenever you trust anyone about anything significant, you do so at your own peril.
That being said, "once a gun grabber, always a gun grabber" isn't true. Exhibit A: Me. When I was a kid I had no contact with guns, none, zero, zip, nada. I saw no reason for civilians to be able to own a gun. Guns were things used by police, soldiers, and criminals, not ordinary decent folk like me, my parents, our neighbors... I don't recall the chain of thought that led me to start questioning that position, but I did, and it didn't take very long for me to come around to being a supporter of gun rights, and eventually a gun owner myself. Today I consider it a bellwether issue: I won't vote for any politician who opposes gun rights, and it's one of the first questions I ask about any candidate whose positions I'm not familiar with.
So yes, change is possible. I'll want to see some solid evidence that Gabbard has changed her position on guns - something more than just her word - but given what she says in that video and the way she says it, I'm inclined to at least consider the possibility that she has in fact changed.
Yup. She was 100% for all of the above. That tweet was from 5 years ago.
I won't argue any of that. Politicians lie for a living, just like used-car salesmen, and trusting any of them is about as smart as trusting a hungry hyena. OTOH, I have to believe it's at least possible for an intelligent, thinking human being to change their opinions on important topics -- after all, I'm living proof that it is. But I try not to be an easy mark. I'll consider the possibility that Gabbard has changed her position on gun rights based on that interview, but that's all. She'll have to do a lot more than just talk to convince me that she's really done it.Keep in mind that when Charlie Faker was running he was going to be the best thing in MA, since sliced bread on 2A issues.
That lying little fidget Polito was even going to gun clubs and talking him up like the Christ of gun rights.
Many of us got sucked in , some even manned the phones , rang doorbells ect. for him.
We wanted to believe so bad including myself included he was going to be the knight in shining armor we'd been waiting for.
What was it, weeks before he went in dry with an 80 grit condom on us ?
Same with Scotty Brown the turncoat little motherfletcher .
Pete Buttigieg more your style?I question the judgement of anyone that considers tulsi ‘hot.’
Interview with Tulsi. Skip ahead to the 7 minute mark where she discusses her thoughts on guns and why she held the beliefs she did and why she has since changed her stance on the 2A. Not every day a "politician" changes their views because they get a better understanding of the issue.

If politicians lie, and she was anti-2A while a politician, doesn’t that mean she’s telling the truth now.I won't argue any of that. Politicians lie for a living, just like used-car salesmen, and trusting any of them is about as smart as trusting a hungry hyena. OTOH, I have to believe it's at least possible for an intelligent, thinking human being to change their opinions on important topics -- after all, I'm living proof that it is.

She may be on the level or not.I won't argue any of that. Politicians lie for a living, just like used-car salesmen, and trusting any of them is about as smart as trusting a hungry hyena.

Not everyone is in a position to take rights away from millions of people.I don’t particularly care about Tulsi’s future. What I found interesting was the first portion of the interview. Whether you believe her or not what she described was a wake up moment for a lot of Americans. The tyranny experienced during COVID and the lockdowns and everything that came with it made a lot of Americans change their view on the 2A.
How many first time gun owners did we all encounter as a result? Gun sales were through the roof. She grew up in a state that has zero respect for the 2A.
I’m not voting for her and not expecting anyone else to. I just found the conversation interesting and think what she said applies to a lot of people. Not everyone starts off in full support of the 2A.
