More quotes by George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
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
When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers.
George McGovern
It can take greater courage to stand in opposition to the views of your neighbors or nation than to confront an enemy in combat.
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 think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.
George McGovern
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
George McGovern
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
George McGovern
A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.
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
Democrats believe that the federal government is not our enemy, it's our partner.
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
Reaganism is not only at odds with the Judeo-Christian heritage, it will not work.
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
It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
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
I would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: ... At the end of the war in the Persian Gulf, press for a comprehensive Middle East settlement and for a 'new world order' based not on Pax Americana but on peace through law with a stronger U.N. and World Court.
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
One of the sharp parallels is that neither Vietnam nor Iraq was the slightest threat to America's national security.
