George McGovern: "When people tell me they don't like liberals..."

1. How true. I can't think of a Republican who has wanted to do something to help people.

So it's strange that half the country still supports them. My feeling is that Democrats are far too respectful to them and do not publicly attack them on their anti-people policies. Instead we keep hearing about working WITH them.

Senator McGovern according to several people who knew him personally said recently that he was never afraid to say what he believed from the POV of being a Democrat, no matter how unpopular it was so do so. Not that what he said was unpopular, but apparent SAYING things, such as the quote in the OP, seems to be unpopular even among Demcorats.

Too bad that good Democrats like McGovern did not get the backing he needed at least from his own party when it came to telling the truth about Republicans.
