They're barely out of the starting gate for 2016. Nobody has formally declared yet, although some exploratory committees are being formed. But the passengers in the Republican clown car have wasted no time outing themselves and their extreme positions.
This week has brought us Chris Christie, who stepped into the vaccination controversy (forcing his spokesperson to clarify, never a good thing). Then Rand Paul joined the fun. It's a neat demonstration of GOP candidates trying to simultaneously suck up to their government-hating, science-denying, right-wing base and still appeal to mainstream (i.e., normal) Americans. This is going to be very fun to watch.
But in the meantime, we'd just like to know: How can the super right wingers in the Republican Party be so unforgiving about diseases like AIDS and Ebola, but excuse the measles?
We cats don't have kittens, but if we did, we'd make darn sure that they got their rabies shots. It's just the adult thing to do. We don't know why the "party of personal responsibility" doesn't agree. But it makes us HISS.
