More quotes by 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
I was tired. I hadn't slept eight hours in two, three years. I lived on four, five hours of sleep. You can do it during a campaign because thousands are screaming for you. You're getting adrenaline shots each day. Then the campaign ends, and there are no more shots.
George McGovern
Reaganism is not only at odds with the Judeo-Christian heritage, it will not work.
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
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
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
For a generation and more, the government has sought to meet our needs by multiplying its bureaucracy. Washington has taken too much in taxes from Main Street, and Main Street has received too little in return. It is not necessary to centralize power in order to solve our problems.
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
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
It can take greater courage to stand in opposition to the views of your neighbors or nation than to confront an enemy in combat.
George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.
George McGovern
When you start one of these programs, school lunch programs, in a country that heretofore had nothing of that kind, immediately school enrollment jumps dramatically. Girls and boys get to the classroom with the promise of a good meal once a day.
George McGovern
Democrats believe that the federal government is not our enemy, it's our partner.
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
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
One of the sharp parallels is that neither Vietnam nor Iraq was the slightest threat to America's national security.
George McGovern
