More quotes by George McGovern
For 50 years, the Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being soft on national security.
George McGovern
Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.
George McGovern
The truth is that I oppose the Iraq war, just as I opposed the Vietnam War, because these two conflicts have weakened the U.S. and diminished our standing in the world and our national security.
George McGovern
I am fed up with a system which busts the pot smoker and lets the big dope racketeer go free.
George McGovern
It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
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 Senator in this Chamber is partly responsible for sending 50,000 young Americans to an early grave. This Chamber reeks of blood.
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
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
George McGovern
Democrats believe that the federal government is not our enemy, it's our partner.
George McGovern
You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia.
George McGovern
When you start one of these programs, school lunch programs, in a country that heretofore had nothing of that kind, immediately school enrollment jumps dramatically. Girls and boys get to the classroom with the promise of a good meal once a day.
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 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
I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.
George McGovern
I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.
George McGovern
The longer the title, the less important the job.
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
A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.
George McGovern
