George McGovern
We seem bent upon saving the Vietnamese from Ho Chi Minh, even if we have to kill them and demolish their country to do it....I do not intend to remain silent in the face of what I regard as a policy of madness which, sooner or later, will envelop my son and American youth by the millions for years to come.
George McGovern
My dad was a Methodist minister.
George McGovern
Every program that ever helped working people, from rural electrification to Medicare, was enacted by liberals over the opposition of conservatives. When people tell me they don't like liberals, I ask, Do you like Social Security? If so, then shut up!
George McGovern
I make one pledge above all others - to seek and speak the truth with all the resources of mind and spirit I command.
George McGovern
Ever since I was a young man, I wanted to run for the presidency in the worst possible way - and I did.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.
George McGovern
