Why did McGovern lose so badly?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

ah, great point. a lot of people forget what exactly Nixon resigned over.

McGovern = Kerry. Watch and see.

Rising Prices, Unpopular war, Negative media against a incumbent. hmm.

I'd see your point if Kerry advocated complete unconditional withdrawl from Iraq.

He does, he just flip flopped to try and appease moderates. I hope most voters see that.

When did he ever advocate that? it's not a flip flop if he never did.

if you're thinking most voters will assume things you are assuming with no hard evidence, you are wrong.

give it a break you idiots. The Democratic party back then was nothing like the party of today. agcat even admitted once that ever since the civil rights act white racists have voted Republican. Yes, they all switched. Otherwise the Democrats wouldn't be clobbered in the Deep South anymore. And Byrd is just one person who renounced his membership long ago and has better ratings from the NAACP than any Republican.

These idiotic arguments are pointless. What are you trying to say, that today's Democratic party wants to reinstate slavery? That we force blacks to vote for us? The fact is, no one forces blacks to do anything, they choose to vote Democratic, and yet idiots claim that makes us racist. I think telling blacks how they SHOULD vote is more racist than them voting for your party.

Also hilariously, StatesRights named a pro-slavery racist as his most comparable politician and called Lincoln a fascist.

LBJ was a worthless scumbag, but not for any racial reasons.

What about Teddy Roosevelt? He was probably the most anti-corporate President we've ever had.

Gore Sr.'s vote against Civil Rights Act = Wellstone's vote for Defense of Marriage Act

Both serious mistakes, but doesn't cloud the rest of their records on the issue. Gore Sr. later said his vote against the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. Wellstone called his vote for DOMA "one of the worst votes I have ever cast"
