If you'd like to be on or off this Upper Midwest (WI, IA, MN, MI, and pretty much anyone else interested) list, largely rural and outdoors issues, please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

More appropriate for Diana's political list, but I pinged it anyway.

If you're in the woods, unless you're knowledgeable, don't eat the mushrooms.

When McGovern went into private business, running a bed 'n breakfast hotel he went bankrupt.

his comment: "Well I guess I never realized that while in Congress I passed all of those laws that made it so hard on the small businessman."

He is hopeless.

So we issue our endorsement once more: McGovern for president.

I wish the Dems would, as he'd do no better than he did in 1972.

I have saved this stupid button for 33 years. This was an official campaign button that was distributed nationwide by the McGovern for President campaign:

If you don't get the joke, then consider this question: what happens when one of these gears turns?

[Artemis Webb]

I actually like George McGovern.

I think he's a good guy.

Not to say I would have voted for him in 1972. Besides...he's 83 years old. Nice guy though...I wish I could buy him a beer sometime.

[A.A. Cunningham]

He's still a loser.

[4CJ]

If McGovern runs again, I'm voting for Nixon.

[muir_redwoods]

Perfect! After thirty years the left still thinks McGovern is suited for the presidency.

When he's the best you've got on your bench, you're in a world of hurt.

McGovern flew 25 missions in the B-24 Liberator; too bad that such a man did not see the virtue in a strong military.

I had dinner with George McGovern once. He was a very charming guy. He has this strange way of talking while hardly moving his lips, which is kind of distracting.

McGovern has seen about 75% of his campaign platform implemented - higher taxes, eco-fascism, out of Vietnam. The only big one missing is government health care, but the republicans are working on that.

"George McGovern, a man who proudly served when his country called but who has always recognized that the call must be made only when it is absolutely necessary."

I guess that means when we are attacked on American soil......oh, - never mind. Reagan got it right when he said:

"It is not a matter of Peace or War, only of Fight or Surrender."

So, what about it, George???

[Brilliant]

I do think that McGovern would be a good Dem nominee for President in 2008.

[ZULU]

I think the have their Mc's mixed up. They are probably referring to McCain.

[BerniesFriend]

Sadly..that is what gave so many GOPers such heart ache..why did they have to do what they did..Nixon was a shoo-in against such a loser like mcloser..I know Nixon didn't orchestrate the break-in..but it was the cover-up that killed this wonderful man..(kicking in disgust)..

Man now that is a WHOLE new level of Stuck on Stupid!!!

"So we issue our endorsement once more: McGovern for president."

I'd vote for Maureen McGovern first.

[truth_seeker]

Sen. McGovern conducted himself with dignity, and spoke about his convictions in words that would be far too mild, for today's screaming democrat liars.

Of course McGovern was and is wrong on most issues, but I respect the man. Sadly that cannot be said about the majority of democrats today.
