Why I Believe Bush Must Go
Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse.

By George McGovern
Sunday, January 6, 2008; B01



As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.

After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my joining the impeachment effort would be seen as an expression of personal vengeance toward the president who had defeated me.

Today I have made a different choice.

I voted for George McGovern way back in 1972, I guess it was.

I wasn't exactly anti-war, but I felt there might be a better way of conducting the war.

Certainly, the outcome under Richard Nixon was nothing to gloat about.

This statement seem kind of odd:

How could a once-admired, great nation fall into such a quagmire of killing, immorality and lawlessness?

I supported the war in Vietnam, but this quote from McGovern was pretty much the mantra of the anti-war crowd who supported McGovern.

It's even stranger to see McGovern romanticizing the Nixon administration.

McGovern is a man who has spent a good deal of his time flip-flopping on the issues and abandoning his friends and his convictions.

It's hard to imagine an administration more disastrous than Nixon's, but maybe a McGovern administration might have actually been worse.
