re: #75 Dark_Falcon

Chris Christie isn’t really pandering to the anti-vaxxers, though his words have that effect. His main effort is to put some distance between himself and President Obama. If he simply came out behind vaccination, even unforcefully, wingnuts would be lining up to say “That RINO Christie is embracing Obama again. He must really love Traitorous Mooslum [the n-word, plural]!!1”

I get that Christie wants to avoid that, but he shouldn’t do so at the cost of people dying of disease.

How about he stop being afraid of the nutcases in your party’s base and actually show what a real leader does? Really stop being afraid and actually lead, you know the thing that guys like Christie repeatedly accuse President Obama of not doing. I swear dude. Your party’s politicians have to stop acting like scared rabbits when dealing with the base who flips out at everything Obama says.
