I am postitive we were right then, and history proved it. What a waste of a milion lives.or more.Viet Nam..
The Democrats nominated in 1972, a man who would have pulled us out immediately. George McGovern. There were mistakes made, lots of them. I worked my ass in that election, day after day
, house to house. Passed out lots of literature in the cold fall in Chicago in 72... I dressed up in a suit and tie each day..short hair cut too. Talked to lots of Democrats that were voting for the Republican. Couldn't convince them..I felt miserable when the votes came in.
cause I thought deep in my heart we were right..and we were..

What is there to say..We tried to stop that insane war..But many were against us. They distanced themselves from our candidate. people who were running on the Democratic ticket..
An honest decent man who created the foodstamp program..cared about life and death..George McGovern..

Romney on the other hand, is being distanced from some candidates. He cares about money and profits like the rest of the Republicans. It is just that he let everyone know the truth..
... Too bad Republicans you are stuck. you can go to hell..
.. Romney doesn't have one tenth of the integrity that McGovern has in his finger nail in his small finger. The Republicans earned this turd and I am happy for us. And history will never prove them correct as history did with McGovern. I still have tremendous respect for him. He tried to do the right thing and it was almost impossible..but we tried.


Oh, Our opponent that year was Richard Nixon..History proved what a crook he was, although he won, he was forced to resign..let's see..Watergate..something about, "I am not a crook" remember?? So history and congress which was ready to impeach him, proved us correct. Had to make that clear. And the war has been proven to be a complete waste too...

1. My vehicle sported a "Don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts"

bumper sticker until the print wore off. Only Mass. and DC voted against Nixon that year since they'd successfully painted McGovern as a wild-eyed socialist revolutionary in the rest of the country.

Yes, history proved us right and the rest of the country dead wrong. It also proved the power of propaganda and all the scum that got their start under Nixon have poisoned the entire system since then.
