More quotes by 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
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
I always thought of myself as a moderate liberal, a fighter for peace and justice. I never thought of myself as being all that far out.
George McGovern
I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
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
When I was in the war, I was lucky that I was in a plane and never saw the carnage close-up.
George McGovern
There is a strong tendency in the United States to rally round the flag and their troops, no matter how mistaken the war.
George McGovern
I make one pledge above all others - to seek and speak the truth with all the resources of mind and spirit I command.
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
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
I didn't used to care about living a long time. Not that I wasn't enjoying life, but I never sat around asking how I'd get to be 100, you know. But now I want to live long enough to see every school child in the world getting a good, nutritious lunch every day.
George McGovern
Democrats believe that the federal government is not our enemy, it's our partner.
George McGovern
To those who charge that liberalism has been tried and found wanting, I answer that the failure is not in the idea, but in the course of recent history. The New Deal was ended by World War II. The New Frontier was closed by Berlin and Cuba almost before it was opened. And the Great Society lost its greatness in the jungles of Indochina.
George McGovern
It's a tough thing, to know what to do about a war that deep in your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war.
George McGovern
Reaganism is not only at odds with the Judeo-Christian heritage, it will not work.
George McGovern
I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
George McGovern
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
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
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
Everyone is exposed to economic risks of some kind.
George McGovern
