How McGovern Made This

IN THIS ENVIORNMENT OF ECONOMIC FEUDALISM WHERE THE MIDDLE CLASS MUST SUFFER IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE pROFITS OF MULTINATIONAL CORpORATIONS, WHO BENEFIT FROM CHEAp LABOR, THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS BEEN LOST.
MULTINALTIONALS FROM INDIA HAVE BROUGHT THEIR CHEAp WAyS TO AMERICA. WE NOW HAVE AMERIANS GOING TO GET HEART SURGERy IN INDIA BEAUSE IT IS CHEApER. OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLy JOBS HAVE BEEN OUTSOURCED TO INDIA.
CHINA WAITS UNTIL WE INVENT IT AND THEN THEy STEAL IT. WHy REINVENT THE WHEEL.
ARABS FINANCIERS OWN OVER TWELVER pER CENT OF OUR ECONOMy AND IN RECENT MONTTHS HAVE "BAILED" OUT OUR BANKS. IN ADDITION, ARAB INTEREST FROM DUBAI AND KUWAIT HAVE FINANCED OUR pOLITICAL LEADERS ENDEVOURS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE pOLITICAL SpECTRUM.. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE.

We have been fooled by our own government and there is no way any Republican is going to win this election. THE Middle class has had it with all this Bin LADEN terrorist crap. WE are now scared of our own government more than we are of the terrorist because the decisions this government is making on our behalf is not in our best interests and it is killing us. The government is now dominating our civil liberties. They are giving the states millions for Real ID Cards. This is just the start of government intrusion. Combine this with the misuse of the Patriot Act and the future Plans of insurance comPanies and corporations to have full access to our personal records and we have a real crisis.
Credit Card companies have already started selling and sharing our personal information with the private sector. We really have to wake up and protect our constitution it is all we have to defend ourselves against interests that become too rich and powerful in this country. The government keeps expanding and is being predominantly controlled by special interest and lobbyist. The middle class is being weakened and our civil liberties are being threatened. Real ID Cards will not make "us safer" infacat terrorists can obtain fake ones and move about freely. The American people did not vote on Real ID Cards, we need a vote. Our constitution would have to be ammended in order for Real ID's to become legal. I do not know what has happened in Washington but it is getting out of hand. They know what they are doing is unconstitutional so they are trying to bribe the states by offering them money. I hope every state agrees with me and Prevents the federal govenment from imPosing THIS unconstitutional law. If the states allow the government to do this then they would have set a bad Precedent that could lead to further government violations.
WHy IS THERE A NEED TO WIRE TAp EVERy CITIZEN. ARE yOU KIDDING ME. yOU NEED A WARRANT. THIS IS MADNESS. THIS IS COMpLETELy UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SURVELLIANCE IS CARRIED OUT OVER A pERIOD OF TIME, WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT GETTING A WARRANT FOR SUSpECTED TERRORIST.
GOVERNMENT IS USING TERRORISM AS AN EXCUSE TO INTRUDE ON OUR CIVIL LIBERIES. THIS IS INSANE.

George Will: Missed out on the sexual revolution in the 60's and is still so bitter about it he could spit teeth ...

The opening paragraph, with its present-tense narrative, led me to expect the good senator's commentary on the current presidential election, rather than the good columnist's recounting of electoral history. Still, the chestnut about Cronkite was worth the read. To think that America missed out on the thrill of a Cronkite-Agnew debate! Cronkite's insight vs. Agnew's alliteration.

The article was very interesting and it's nice to know that Sen. McGovern is still in good health. But, to refer to him as a boulevardier? The first time I heard that word, it was used to describe the first husband of Princess Caroline, Phillippe Junot. George McGovern a boulevardier?........I think not.

Enough! Is Mr. Will actually insinuating that the country will rally around the Republicans if the "college democrats" nominate Obama? If Newsweek is looking for people who actually know politics I'm free Tuesdays and Thursdays. I think you should stick him in with the Enterprise section and be done with it. Meanwhile, we'll concentrate on fixing this mess you "responsible adults" have gotten yourselves into.

VERy INETERESTING ARICLE. I ACTUALLy learned something. KEEp the good work up.

OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT pRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

The only diffrents this time.The elephant with lipstick won.t fly. Its a choice for more corruption,war,lies, or change by younger generation. In the final analysis as Nixon would say. The republicans left New York toothless and country divided.Red light yellow light,lies won,t work. Even if the GOP RAN GOD.

I'm all for "redistribution of wealth". Any of the current Presidential candidates, Republican or Democrat", promising us this? They should because we are no longer going to have a middle class unless things change soon.

Great post there George Will. Yeah McGovern deserved better.

It's amazing: It took a big loser to come up with this unfair system. The party that claims 'diversity', is actually in the hands of a few elite superdelegates. What a shame!

1968 was the first election that I followed closely as a supporter of clean Gene McCarthy- hey who else, I was an 18 year old coward who didn't want to wear the green suit. When the nomination was stolen from him by Humphrey (probably due to their great slogan: Vote for Muskie and Hump free.) I began to re-evaluate politics through a jaundiced eye. Today I have repudiated the party of my youth and can enjoy full scale hypocrisy (Rush and the rest claiming that Mitt the Quit is a conservative), stupidity (why no John McCain doesn't remind me of Bob Dole-why did you ask?)and conspiracy (Mike Huckabee is only for religious voters, ahhhkkkk reporter want a cracker). America does not need a third party- it needs a fourth, fifth and sixth party if anyone expects us to have a future. BTW, the candidate who reminds me most of McGovern is Ron Paul, a nice guy who has been totally hijacked by wacky supporters.
