George McGovern and the Tea Party

Wednesday, March 2, 2011


Good info, but you've discounted the fact that most of the voting block was (and is) right of center.

As an old old liberal Democrat (an FDR Democrat), I've lived our history first hand and don't believe for a moment what you've said.  I know that it's popular dogma, but it's inaccurate­.

Most Americans, when informed on the issues, agree with liberal policies and solutions.  The problem is that most Americans are not informed, and are kept ill-inform­ed and in a state of fear just so they will support calls for heavy-hand­ed authoritar­ian rule.  

Nixon did promise "to end the war", and just like Obama the d3viI is in the details.  To these warmongers­, they mean and mean "ending it" by escalating it.  If any conservati­ve could have won over McGovern (and presumably any anti-war Democrat) then dlrty-tric­ks campaignin­g (like the Canuck letter against Muskie, or the Scoop Jackson letter, or the Humphrey letter, etc.) wouldn't have taken place.
