More quotes by George McGovern

George McGovern
Every Senator in this Chamber is partly responsible for sending 50,000 young Americans to an early grave. This Chamber reeks of blood.
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

George McGovern

George McGovern

George McGovern
Everyone is exposed to economic risks of some kind.
George McGovern
I didn't know a damned thing about mental illness and neither did anyone around me.
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
Above all, being a Democrat means having compassion for others. ... It means standing up for people who have been kept down.
George McGovern
My dad was a Methodist minister.
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 am a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be.
George McGovern
You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia.
George McGovern
