Former Sen George McGovern; End is Near, in Hospice Care

The family of ex-U.S. Sen. George McGovern says the 90-year-old is "no longer responsive" in hospice care.

His daughter Ann McGovern told The Associated Press that her father is "nearing the end" and appears restful and peaceful. She says it's a blessing that she and other family members are able to be with him.

McGovern was the Democratic presidential candidate who lost to President Richard Nixon in 1972 in a historic landslide, winning only 37.5 percent of the popular vote and carrying only Massachusetts and the District of Columbia in one of the worst defeats in U.S. history.

Despite the devastating loss, McGovern’s legacy as one of the most liberal candidates of the last half century looms large among politicians of the Baby Boom generation.

When the American people make a mistake... :cough George Bush :cough and elect Richard Nixon in a landslide over this peace loving gentleman, they really make a doozy.

I was reading about this earlier today. Sad news. George McGovern was the kind of politician all others should strive to emulate.

Every member of the US Congress during the past 50 years should be indicted, tried, and executed for treason, grand theft, and mass murder - if only by complicity.

This includes the present occupant of the White House.

McGovern will soon be burning in hell.
