Yep, that about sums it up. I think Democrats can blame McGovern for their long history of losing. He brought to life the extremist wing of the party and took it over. Since, there have been 2 democratic president...one was landslided in his run for re-election. The other, while making history in 92', had the luxury of running against Bob Dole in 96'.
McGovern was more of a war hero than any of these warmongering chickenhawks will ever be.
who are you speaking of?
dole?
hw bush?
Don't forget Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and many other Republicans who volunteered rather than dodge the draft and then have the nerve to send American Troops into war zones across the globe (costing some their lives).
Republican chickenhawks, what a joke.
