I don't think the american people had a clear picture of either nixon or me. i think they thought that nixon was a strong, decisive, tough-minded guy and that i was an idealist and antiwar guy who might not attach enough significance to the security of the country. the truth is, i was the guy with the war record, and my opposition to vietnam was because i was interested in the nation's well-being.

More From George McGovern

We understand that nixon's aggression against vietnam is a racist aggression, that the american war in vietnam is a racist war, a white man's war...we deplore that you are being used as cannon fodder for u.s. imperialism. we've seen photographs of american bombs and antipersonnel weapons being dropped, wantonly, accidentally perhaps, on your heads, on the heads of your comrades.

An opposition is necessary and desirable for the healthy development of any country. you can scarcely find anyone in opposition, except for the communists, just like in yeltsin's times. it is regrettable that there is still no constructive, clear and large-scale opposition in russia. the growth and development of an opposition, as well as the maturing of other democratic institutions, will take more time and experience.

[democrats] hated richard nixon, and no wonder. it was nixon who sent alger hiss to jail, and nixon who waged the vietnam war after the democrats gave up.

Walk with me, but don't follow me blindly. hold fast to the truth, not to my garments. my body is merely a clay structure; today it is here, tomorrow it shall be gone. if you attach yourself to me today, what are you going to do tomorrow when i am not with you? attach yourself to god, attach yourself to humanity, only then will you be closer to me.
Humanity Clay Gone
I couldn't help but be struck that this guy i had thought was the embodiment of everything wrong with american politics, a lot of his domestic policy was mind-numbingly, head-spinningly to the left of obama's. it was under nixon that the epa was created. it was under nixon that osha was created. under nixon that the clean air and clean water acts were passed.

I am worried about this word, this notion - security. i see this word, hear this word, feel this word everywhere. security check. security watch. security clearance. why has all this focus on security made me feel so much more insecure? ... why are we suddenly a nation and a people who strive for security above all else?
