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
For 50 years, the Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being soft on national security.
George McGovern

I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
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
