George McGovern
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
George McGovern

George McGovern
Don't throw away your conscience.
George McGovern
Democrats believe that the federal government is not our enemy, it's our partner.

George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it.
George McGovern
Truth is a habit of integrity, not a strategy of politics.
George McGovern

George McGovern
Ever since I was a young man, I wanted to run for the presidency in the worst possible way - and I did.
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
It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
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
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
