More quotes by George McGovern
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
George McGovern

George McGovern
Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.
George McGovern

George McGovern
I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it.
George McGovern
I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.
George McGovern
I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie. My dad was a Methodist minister. I went off to war. I have been married to the same woman forever. I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
George McGovern

George McGovern

George McGovern
I flew a full string of 35 combat missions over some of the most heavily defended targets in Europe. We were hitting Hitler's oil refineries, his tank factories, his aircraft factories, his railway yards. Those were our prime targets.
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
I seek the presidency because I believe deeply in the American promise and can no longer accept the diminishing of that promise.
George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
We are at a crossroads over how the federal government in Washington and state legislatures and city councils across the land allocate their financial resources. Which fork we take will say a lot about Americans and our values.
George McGovern
It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
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
It would be a good time to replace the drug war with something more constructive. The cure offered the drug war today has probably been more harmful and done more damage than the disease.
George McGovern
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
