More quotes by George McGovern
Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.
George McGovern
I would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: ... At the end of the war in the Persian Gulf, press for a comprehensive Middle East settlement and for a 'new world order' based not on Pax Americana but on peace through law with a stronger U.N. and World Court.
George McGovern
The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.
George McGovern
I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
George McGovern
Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
I didn't know a damned thing about mental illness and neither did anyone around me.
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 was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
George McGovern
Pay attention to the hungry, both in this country and around the world. Pay attention to the poor. Pay attention to our responsibilities for world peace. We are our brother's keeper.
George McGovern
You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia.
George McGovern
I always thought of myself as a moderate liberal, a fighter for peace and justice. I never thought of myself as being all that far out.
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
Ever since I was a young man, I wanted to run for the presidency in the worst possible way - and I did.
George McGovern
We have the resources (to end hunger), we know what has to be done, and it's something that can be achieved at a rather modest cost
George McGovern
Don't throw away your conscience.
George McGovern
Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'
George McGovern
The truth is that I oppose the Iraq war, just as I opposed the Vietnam War, because these two conflicts have weakened the U.S. and diminished our standing in the world and our national security.
George McGovern
When I was in the war, I was lucky that I was in a plane and never saw the carnage close-up.
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
