Ted's right...there hasn't been a rubber shortage since 1945:

Iowans at a town hall waded into awkward territory on Monday evening as Ted Cruz tackled a question on contraceptives.
During a question and answer session at the final stop of a three-day Iowa campaign swing, an attendee asked Cruz about "making contraception available to women who want to control their own bodies."
The Texas senator began by attacking what he called the Democratic Party's "(concocted) war on women" and accused Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton of falsely attacking the GOP as "the condom police."
"Hillary Clinton embraces abortion on demand in all circumstances up until the moment of birth. Partial-birth abortion with taxpayer funding, with no notification for parents in any circumstances -- 91% of Americans say that's nuts," he said. "So what do they do, they try to shift it. The war on women wasn't that, it was contraceptives. Now listen, I have been a conservative my entire life. I have never met anybody, any conservative who wants to ban contraceptives."
Cruz said the charge that conservatives are anti-contraceptives is a "made-up, nonsense example."
"As I noted, Heidi and I, we have two little girls. I'm very glad we don't have 17," he told the hundreds of people in the audience. "And it's a great example when the war on women came up, Republicans would curl up in a ball, they'd say, 'Don't hurt me.' Jiminy Cricket!"
"Last I checked we don't have a rubber shortage in America. When I was in college we had a machine in the bathroom, you put .50 cents in and voila!" Cruz continued, receiving some uncomfortable laughter from the audience. "So yes,

Hillarious, fantastic...
What? You mean Cruz didn’t grovel, accept the premise, apologize, and beg the Rats for forgiveness and better seats and no picking up the tab at the next cocktail brunch?
Cruz is right about this.
He is dismantling the demodog meme.
This needs to be done
Liberal logic. Nice job straightening that one out for them, Ted!
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘’Hmmmm’’. Since I don’t know what you mean I won’t judge. I’ll just say that I have no problem with what Cruz said.
Bingo
Ha!
Okay, I’ll admit that maybe I’m a bit uncertain about Cruz’s relationships to big donors in regards to border security and stuff, but this was GOLDEN.
Keep goin’ Ted! Call out the liberals and the pansies at the same time!
Hillary should steer clear of this topic. Bill could have supported the condom industry by himself.
Verbal evisceration of the left using logic, reason and a funny anecdote. Cruz is a genius, the left knows it, and it terrifies them.
Muhuhu-huahuahua...
Bravo, Senator Cruz. Don’t run from it, confront it. Boldly, bluntly and with humor. Perfect.
Cruz is going to be the nominee, and the debates are going to be fantastic.
He never ceases to amaze me. Go Cruz Go!!!
From your fingertips to God’s ears.
Ted's right...there hasn't been a rubber shortage since 1945:
I sm just CURIOUS. In the Griswold case, was this actually a situation of an early, nanny LIBERAL New England government?
Ted could do well to check up on some history. It might not be conservatives who have ever been forbidding condoms.
This doesn’t mean they’re the right thing for those who care about God’s plan, but God never wanted secular government to police every possible moral, they are not competent to operate at a church level.
Ted Cruz is so AWESOME and I loved how he threw that nonsense right back in liberals faces
This is why Cruz will continue to rise, just like how Trump got to his position in the polls. ATTACK THE MEDIA AND ALL THIER FALSE MEMES.
“Attendee” = obvious, boring single issue plant
And he’s exposing that Hillary is desperate to avoid genuinely serious issues. In just a few words he eviscerated her on economy, Obamacare, and foreign policy.
