Response is certainly more “presidential” than Rand’s.

[taxcontrol]

It is an intentionally refocusing of the issue away from the cause - namely thousands of illegals bringing all kinds of diseases with them due to Obama’s open boarders.

"Ted Cruz calls issues reported in the media "largely silliness stirred up by the media"

Yep, and clarified in broader terms.

[a fool in paradise]

Yes, the media is trolling to GOP contenders. As the media has done in past elections.

“Ask them about evolution!”

“Ask them about marriage!”

How about discussing the border? ISIS? The debt?

Imagine the glee had Cruz said that “Obama’s call for parents to not vaccinate their children is just another media hoax.”

Half the MSM would declare that because Obama said so, parents should not vaccinate their children. And the other half would still demand that the government force all children to be vaccinated.

—thankfully, I was raised by parents who knew what it was like in the days before vaccination and immunization—

—we all got our shots, were extremely thankful when the polio vaccine came along (one of my boyhood contemporaries died of it)-—and the Jehovah’s Witnesses parents didn't have to have their kids take the shots if they so chose-—

The reason those in power support mandatory national vaccination is the further centralization of power.

“and there’s widespread agreement: of course they should.”

I guess being a lawyer-turned-politician automatically makes you a scientist. There’s an outbreak of them. There should be a vaccination against that.

Ted Cruz calls vaccine issue "largely silliness stirred up by the media"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner folks!

[AxeofCrom]

“Other potential 2016 presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Dr. Ben Carson also added their voices to the debate over vaccinations. Clinton Tweeted Monday evening, “The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue, and #vaccineswork. Let’s protect all our kids. #GrandmothersKnowBest”

So they plant a story in the media, and Hillary jumps on it. Cruz responded correctly.

“I must admit, against my better judgement; I like this duke.”

RE :”Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told reporters Tuesday that the vaccination issue “is largely silliness stirred up by the media.........
.... A statement he released noted that most states make exceptions for good-faith religious convictions, “But on the question of whether kids should be vaccinated, the answer is obvious, and there's widespread agreement: of course they should.”

OH NO.... they got to Ted too. He must have let them vaccinate him and it took him over. Its a plot to take over our kids to brainwash them (recycling, global warming and gay marriage )

That is how the government does it. They got Rubio and now Ted. Those two look the same as before but they are not. Its like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Thank goodness Christie and Paul are still with us to warn us.

[ifinnegan]

It is a fake issue.

The vaccine kooks are mainly rich liberals - Hillary supporter types.

But the Dems are trying to somehow smear anyone who doesn’t accept global warming as on the same par.

[Chickensoup]

Nice to see someone who gets it.

Drama instead of the real issue, illegal aliens who brought the disease in.
