George McGovern Receiving Hospice Care

[Anthony McCarthy]

90. A great human being

George McGovern is a great human being, one of the best candidates for president in our history. The combination of the Republican-corporate money bags and the corrupt, corporate media could defeat him to give the obviously corrupt Nixon a second term should have been all the evidence needed to force basic changes to prevent that happening again. But, instead, liberals allowed the basic corruption to stay in-place, attempting a little reform around the edges. Reform that was ineffective and easily destroyed, beginning with Buckley vs. Valeo in 1976, a corrupt decision supported by some of the more deluded "liberal" institutions and individuals.

I wish him rest after a great life of service to humanity and more personal tragedy than he deserved. May his passing to eternity be a comfort to him and his loved ones.
