Sorry, you guys sound as delusional as the conservatives you deride. If you look at the actual quote (that is, what Christie actually said) and ignore the headline and the snarky commentary—how is what Christe said contrary to the President’s statement, and more importantly, the President’s actions?
Christie: vaccinates his own kids—believes his actions with his own kids, is the strongest statement he can make about vaccinations against childhood diseases. Then he recognizes there is ballance somewhere, between what the government believes is right, and parents rights.
The Presidents position?: He strongly urges that parents vaccinate their kids. As far as I know he has not pushed for legislation, or issued executive orders preventing unvaccinated children from attending school (which should be the case, btw).
So, other than the fact that you guys adore one of these guys, and hate the other? —what is the real difference in their positions? If you really see a difference is it really so significant to enough to deserve this kind of venom? If you really feel so strongly about the subject, why are you not upset with the President for only “strongly urging” folks to vaccinate their kids?
