#1 Strange story. McGovern was as far left as anyone the Dems have ever put up for office. Nixon received over 20% more votes in what was the biggest landslide ever.

#2 Back in '72, McGovern was a radical leftist. Now, he'd be in the mainstream. Compared to HIllary! or J. Forbes Kerry (millionaire), he's a real patriot. He had a lot of terrible ideas, but he never betrayed his country.

#3 Carter is my biggest political mistake. The only Democrat for national office I ever voted for. Luckily that was corrected in '80.

McGovern was an ass and more or less a Socialist, but, he was never a traitor like JF**nKerry or the peanut farmer.

#4 The good Senator was also a B-24 pilot in WWII and flew missions over Germany and Italy. I questioned his ideas and, from time to time his common sense, but I never questioned his patriotism.

#5 He flew the Ploesti oil raids too. That was low level and into a sheet of flack. He had personal courage, just twisted into a socialist later.

Well I thank him for his brave service. But that doesn't mean he's not a shitbag. Look at Rangel....
