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.
From George McGovern
I hope I live long enough to see every hungry school child in the world being fed under the so-called McGovern-Dole program.
I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
One of the sharp parallels is that neither Vietnam nor Iraq was the slightest threat to America's national security.
As an American, I want our forces to prevail.
I would not plan to base my campaign primarily on opposition to the war in the Persian Gulf.
It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
I think it was my study of history that convinced me that the Democratic Party was more on the side of the average American.
At least I have precluded the possibility of peaking too early.
From secrecy and deception in high places, come home, America. From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation, come home, America.
