The Gipper: “How can we not believe in the greatness of America? How can we not do what is right and needed to preserve this last best hope of man on Earth? After all our struggles to restore America, to revive confidence in our country, hope for our future — after all our hard-won victories earned though the patience and courage of every citizen — we cannot, must not and will not turn back.”

Defending gruesome: “This has been a three-year, well-funded effort by the most militant wing of the anti-abortion movement of this country to entrap doctors. They were completely unsuccessful, so now they’re using very highly edited videos, sensationalized videos, to try to impugn and smear the name of Planned Parenthood. They have zero credibility. … These militant anti-abortion activists do nothing to improve the health and safety of women.” —Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood

Defending gruesome II: “It is unfortunate that Planned Parenthood has been the object of such a concerted attack for so many years and it’s really an attack against a woman’s right to choose. I’m hoping this situation will not further undermine the very important services that Planned Parenthood provides across the country.” —Hillary Clinton

Non Compos Mentis: “Being female is a wound that never heals.” —Salon’s Sonia Saraiya

The BIG Lie: “[Capitalism] needs to be reinvented, it needs to be put back into balance.” —Hillary Clinton (Capitalism already has been reinvented, courtesy of Democrats, and that’s exactly the problem.)

Village Idiots: “I’m just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain. And I know what’s happening in the world is going to have a big effect on my daughter and especially on my granddaughter. It’s hard to believe there are people running for president who still refuse to accept the settled science of climate change — who would rather remind us they’re not scientists than listen to those who are.” —Hillary Clinton

And last… “Global warming experts are saying that sea levels could rise 20 feet. Apparently their strategy for surviving this is to stand on top of a pile of government research grant money.” —Fred Thompson
