1. Aah George

You were too competent a man to ever get anywhere in politics.

2. Here's a big ol K&R for you, Douglas Carpenter!

I'll always K&R Senator McGovern! He is, perhaps the greatest MAN to never become President.

PEACE!

4. Likr no other American politician I can recall - George McGovern was not just a politican

he was and still is a moral force. He was and a still is a concience

"George McGovern is the most decent man in the U.S. Senate. In fact, probably the only one." - Robert F. Kennedy


"When you meet your Maker and he ask,
Have you fed the hungrey, given drink to the thirsty,
and cared for the lonely?'
"You can answer 'Yes' "

Pope John xxii to George McGovern


"Above all being a Democrat means having campassion on others,,it means standing up for people who have been kept down." -

George McGovern

5. George McGovern examplifies the kind of leadership this nation needs. We can

hope that the same example Obama sets forth will take hold and restore the US to the concept of integrity that is sorely needed.

7. K&R

My only complaint is that this clip wasn't longer. Thank you Douglas Carpenter for sharing it.
His words are as viable today as they were back then. All I can say is this nation was dead back in 1973 when it chose Richard Nixon over this wonderful wise man. Although I have never looked, there has to be lots of clips over at YouTube of George McGovern. I'm going to see what I can find. Whenever you get down about the dilemma our country is facing, with the ugliness that is the right wing, just run over to YouTube and listen to George for a while. His words will reassure you and make you want to return to the real world and keep fighting the good fight for Justice and Peace on Earth.
Here's a salute for you, George
