It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
George McGovern

It doesn t require any particular bravery to stand on the floor of the Senate and urge our boys in Vietnam to fight harder and if this war mushrooms into a major conflict and a hundred thousand young Americans are killed it won t be U.S. Senators who die. It will be American soldiers who are too young to qualify for the Senate.
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
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
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
George McGovern
I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
George McGovern
