More quotes by George McGovern
One of the sharp parallels is that neither Vietnam nor Iraq was the slightest threat to America's national security.
George McGovern

George McGovern
I seek the presidency because I believe deeply in the American promise and can no longer accept the diminishing of that promise.
George McGovern

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
A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.
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
We are at a crossroads over how the federal government in Washington and state legislatures and city councils across the land allocate their financial resources. Which fork we take will say a lot about Americans and our values.
George McGovern
Reaganism is not only at odds with the Judeo-Christian heritage, it will not work.
George McGovern
