I salute Senator George McGovern. He is a Nice Old White Guy.
Can you imagine what life would have been like if the country had voted for him instead of Nixon? Perhaps the whole ethos of hating the government might be completely different!
I wish him well.
Thanks to a fine man – a true American and a person dedicated to peace.
A honest and great man.

No Nixon
Godspeed Senator!
Thank you for your service, sir, and my family will miss you. It's a shame we don't have more like you today.
