10. "[Social Security and Medicare] are enslaving people and destroying people’s lives… Basically we fought a war on
slavery already, we don't want that anymore." (1/10/12)
9. "[Doctors are] giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant." (1/22/08)
8. "I think [food stamps are] destructive; putting people in chains to the welfare state is not compassionate and it needs to stop." (6/11/12)
7. "One of the things that did distinguish me from some of my colleagues here was the fact that I would support a repeal of the 17th Amendment." (6/11/12)
6. "Our freedom is seriously threatened right now… I hope we will fight the battle with ballots and not bullets, but the Second Amendment is our last ditch of defense." (4/24/12)
5. "[Claire] had a confidence and was much more ladylike [in 2006], but in the debate on Friday she came out swinging." (9/26/12)
4. "The federal government is destroying things right now. It's paying women to have children out of wedlock. What you pay for, you get more of. That's nuts." (5/25/12)
3. "The bottom line is you've got a conservative House, you've got a bunch of socialists in the Senate, and you've got a commie President. That's where we are." (4/16/11)
2. "[Student loans are] the stage three cancer of socialism that is threatening our freedom." (6/2/12)
1. "From what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." (8/19/12)
Honorable Mention: "I don't believe in [global warming] at all, okay?... I just don't think the evidence is good there from a scientific point of view." (8/1/12)
Despite Akin's controversial and offensive comments about reproductive rights, he is still neck-and-neck with Claire in the polls. This is anybody's race.
That's why we need your help to expose Missourians to Akin's long history of outside-the-mainstream statements and beliefs. Thanks for your continued support of Claire, Corey DukesDeputy Campaign Manager
McCaskill for Missouri 2012
