#2 Like we give a flying fuk what McGovern has to say. The man has been brain dead for over half a century.

#3 Not. Gonna. Happen.

He seems to forget there's a supporter of winning the war and against retreat named Lieberman that holds the balance of power.

Plus a Senator from Va named Webb who once said he loathed McGovern and others for betrayign him and his marinesi n Vietnam.

#4 I forget - is it mirrors or silver bullets to keep vampires away? (Yes a know a wood stake to the heart kills them)

So, if its a silver bullet (or is that werewolves) then McGovern and his crowd need to be doused with Coors Beers.

#5 Cause it worked out so well for the South Vietnamese ('Boat people') and the Cambodians ('Killing Fields').

#6 3dc - an exorcism involving a priest and a bible drives out evil spirits. Might work on the far left too.

#7 From Wikipedia:

In the general election, the McGovern/Shriver ticket suffered a 60%38% defeat to Nixon at the time, the second biggest landslide in American history, with Electoral College totals of 520 to 17. McGovern's two electoral vote victories came in Massachusetts and the District of Columbia; McGovern failed to win his home state of South Dakota.

So the Dems are raising the dead to further their cause. Great strategy. Our only saving grace is that the Dems are more stupid than the Republicans. This country has at least a fighting chance. I feel better now.

#10 .com---I remember the election. The Left pushed McGovern with all they got. Like they lit off a Saturn V booster and all they got was a fizzling bottle rocket. It was pathetic. And now this is all they have in the bag?

#21 MUDVILLE GAZETTE logo > "Good people can sleep soundly at night becuz ROUGH/BAD MEN ARE READY TO PROTECT THEM + DO BATTLE ON THEIR BEHALF". In Guam + Asia, everyone knew that Rough/Bad Guy was "POWER-THAT-ISN'T-USED-ISN'T-POWER" POTUS NIXON. Despite the chaos over Vietnam, Nixon kept the stagflating, over-subsidized, "Democrat" US economy from imploding/collapsing + propagated US power-influence everywhere around the world. WHen Nixon left due to WATERGATE, even the Commies knew SOUTH VIETNAM = SE ASIA was just so much WALKING DEAD-MEAT. America didn't learn until after the fall of Saigon that America was actually winning/won the war.

#23 "Had to lose to validate the leftist cause" > post 9-11, only the most successful of MULTIPLE PLANNED ATTACKS AGZ THE WTC, SOUTH VIETNAM = HYPER-POWER AMERICA. AMERICA MUST RETREAT WORLDWIDE, NOT JUST FROM THE ME. The lives, families, way-of-life, + communities of ALL AMERICANS REGARDLESS OF BELIEFS is now at risk just becuz the Failed-Angry Left needs to "save face" + doesn't wanna admit to making any mistakes/probs > you know, HUMANISM.
