If conservatives think the Dems only recently went off the left side of the political universe, they should have seen the ‘72 Dem convention. I was a Dem at the time, but I was shocked to see a parade of leftist wackos prance up to the podium and give their deluded visions of what they were going to do to America. I couldn’t vote for McGovern, and I didn’t much like Nixon. But I sure wasn’t sorry McGovern lost. Unfortunately, we have George’s ideological successor in the White House. I doubt he’d have a Damascus-like revelation that McGovern had.
I went to a McGovern rally while in college. Air-heads. Hair-heads. Pot-heads. Professorial pinheads. Commies-The ones that wore that beanie cap with a Red Star on it. Reminded me of the KFC special they were running...”All left wings and assholes!”
