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

George McGovern

George McGovern
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
George McGovern
When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers.
George McGovern
It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
George McGovern
I am a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be.
George McGovern
The longer the title, the less important the job.
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
Above all, being a Democrat means having compassion for others. ... It means standing up for people who have been kept down.
George McGovern
