Too bad we don't have a George McGovern right now. I can't think of anyone in the Party who would make a better President and after all we've learned over the past decade, he would be such a refreshing 'change'.
A real War Hero, not a phony like Bush. I wasn't there when he ran, but I would give anything to have a man like that to vote for right now. Decent, honest, strong, in the real sense of the word.
It's funny, he never 'used' his military record as far as I know, seems those WW11 vets didn't feel the need to do so.
I find your comment offensive the same way I found Tweetie's several years ago when I lost total respect for him and never watched him again.
It was after the staged 'Mission Accomplished' ridiculousness and Tweetie was drooling over Bush's 'codpiece', the 'way he strutted across the deck', 'a real man', 'women LOVE this kind of President.' He talked about having a 'tingle in my leg'. ugh it was sickening.
And then he proved to me forever what a stupid, moronic idiot he is when he went on to say:
'Can you imagine a Democrat being able to look like this, a hero? I mean, George McGovern eg?
Really, so a cowardly moron who did everything he could to get out of fighting in a war he says he 'isn't sure whether he supported it or not' and went AWOL from Texas to Tweetie is a 'hero', while he couldn't imagine a REAL WAR hero 'looking like that'?
Obviously he had no idea of McGovern's War Record. And he was right, I could never imagine a real hero like McGovern, EVER looking like the fool Bush looked like when he chose to pose in his cod piece rather than remove it as a real war pilot would have done.
I could only wish for someone like McGovern.. Otoh, It would be an insult to McGovern to even ask him to apply for a job that has sunk so low that the likes of Bush or Reagan were 'qualified' for it.
We get the Government we deserve, so you may be right. We don't deserve a Democrat like McGovern. Not until WE evolve as a people.
