Rush Limbaugh talking about Congressional hearing on Obama administration's contraception policy
Rush Limbaugh
What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex? What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.

Rick Santorum talking out against the 'dangers of contraception'
Rick Santorum
One of the things I will talk about that no President has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, thats okay. Contraceptions okay.' Its not okay because its a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.

Cain falsely claims that the Health Care Bill requires a bureaucrat to review the case.
Herman Cain
If we had been on 'Obamacare' and a bureaucrat was trying to tell me when I could get that CAT scan, that would have delayed my treatment.

Michele Bachmann
Theres a woman who came up crying to me tonight after the debate. She said her daughter was given that vaccine. She told me her daughter suffered mental retardation as a result. There are very dangerous consequences.

Rick Perry
I think every program needs to stand the sunshine of righteous scrutiny. Whether its Social Security, whether its Medicaid, whether its Medicare. Youve got $115 trillion worth of unfunded liability in those three. Theyre bankrupt. Theyre a Ponzi scheme.

Susan G Komen for the Cure
The nation's leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, decided to discontinue its partnership with Planned Parenthood on 2/1/2012. Komen funding for Planned Parenthood has provided nearly 170,000 clinical breast exams and resulted in 6,400 referrals for mammograms. The resulting public backlash was huge and ultimately led to Komen reversing and apologizing for the decision on 2/3/2012. Karen Handel, a former GOP candidate for governor known for her anti-abortion stance, also stepped down from her positi...

Joe Wilson
On September 9, 2009, Wilson shouted at President Barack Obama while Obama addressed a joint session of Congress to outline his proposal for reforming health care. During his address, Obama said: "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false – the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." In a breach of decorum, Wilson pointed at Obama and shouted, "You lie!". Wilson attracted national and international attention for the incident. He ...
