George McGovern already does look moderate compared to this bunch.
Not so sure about McGovern. I was in Vietnam when he ran in 1972. McGoo went to Saigon and chewed out the RVN president, while there said he’d go on his knees to Hanoi to beg for the release of the POW’s, agreed with Jane Fonda that we who were still there were war criminals, said he trusted the Soviet & ChiCom militaries more than our Department of Defense, and promised to slash our defense budget by twenty five percent while we were still in a war.
As morally arrogant as they came in those days. Contemptuous of any dissent.
This is why we should pay Senators and Congress persons $1,000,000 Million dollars per year and deduct $20,000 for every DAY they are in DC and NOT in their District.
