Wants to help the Democrats do today what he did in ‘72. “Why I believe George Bush Must Go,” George McGovern op-ed, Washington Post:
As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.
After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my joining the impeachment effort would be seen as an expression of personal vengeance toward the president who had defeated me.
Today I have made a different choice.
Push for impeachment 11 months before the election to ensure defeat in ‘08.
Of course, there seems to be little bipartisan support for impeachment. The political scene is marked by narrow and sometimes superficial partisanship, especially among Republicans, and a lack of courage and statesmanship on the part of too many Democratic politicians. So the chances of a bipartisan impeachment and conviction are not promising.
But what are the facts?
Given the abovementioned, who cares? But in fairness, here’s the short version: Bush lied, people died. Wasting away again in Katrinaville.
The old dodderer appears to have noticed that the train has left the station … with Dennis Kucinich in the locomotive and 21 pals all jammed in the far left seats, but no one even waving bye-bye from the platform. McGovern yearns for a highly principled Dem trainwreck in the election year.
Impeachment is unlikely, of course. But we must still urge Congress to act. Impeachment, quite simply, is the procedure written into the Constitution to deal with presidents who violate the Constitution and the laws of the land. It is also a way to signal to the American people and the world that some of us feel strongly enough about the present drift of our country to support the impeachment of the false prophets who have led us astray. This, I believe, is the rightful course for an American patriot.
Listen to the elder statesman. Impeach now!

To state something along the line of then Gov. of Texas, Ann Richards….’Poor George, he can’t help it, he was born with a silver plate in his head, he can’t think straight’.
George, you were a war hero, you helped save this great land once. Why can’t you see that this great nation of ours, is under assault from a different kind of foe?
As stated above, you, a war hero, defended this nation by bombing the enemy. Why won’t you defend it, when IT and the rest of the Free World, is under attack by a vile people, by any means, bent on destroying the very principles, you once fought to defend?

Ummm, if my above post makes no sense. I blame it on the lack of mega doses of caffeine.

This is a sad but telling window to the future of our assisted living facilties. They will be crawling with diciples of Olbermann, McGovern, Kucinich, and Michael Moore.
Surgeons and drug companies should work on isolating the region in the brain that generates BDS and neutralize it for benefit of all.
Otherwise a special wing and separate dining hall will be necessary for these irrational, historically retarded irritants.

Meh, McGovern! He was a loser before 1972, and he has only gone downhill since.

Sure, Uncle Georgie. Come along now, I’ve got some nice cream of wheat for your dinner. Don’t forget your bib.

Ah, 1972. That was a time when, given an honest leftist agenda by McGovern, the country gave a landslide to Richard Nixon (of all people). It wasn’t because the people liked Nixon (who could), but they knew what a McGovern presidency would mean. They had already had enough with Johnson.
McGovern isn’t the only one who’s gone downhill.

My mom is about George’s age. When she got like that, we had her medicine adjusted. She is better now.

Why, there’s not a thing that’s partisan about ‘List to Port’ McGovern.

George McGovern has a lot of nerve talking about the United States waging war in Iraq without a formal declaration of war considering what the liberal wing of his party did in Korea, Vietnam, Serbia…and even in the middle east, where Slick Willie presided over hundreds of bombing raids on Iraq, and also considering that McGovern voted FOR the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964.
Fighting without a formal declaration of war is a longstanding Democrat tradition.
McGovern (like all leftys) is a total hypocrite, and his absurd points can safely be ignored.
