Reagan was the first president I could vote for, I missed voting against Carter by 2 months.

We supported McGovern because he was trying to tell the truth to people, about the war, Watergate, and other matters. But they said he was a "socialist", much too liberal to be President of the United States. He would make America weak. Never mind that he was a bomber pilot in WWII...
And this means exactly WHAT?
In 1988, McGovern, using the money he had earned from his speeches, bought, renovated, and began running a 150-room inn in Stratford, Connecticut, with the goal of providing a hotel, restaurant and public conference facility. It went into bankruptcy in 1990 and closed the following year.
In 1992, he attributed part of the failure to the early 1990s recession,
but also part to the cost of dealing with federal, state and local regulations that were passed with good intentions but made life difficult for small businesses, and to the cost of dealing with frivolous lawsuits. McGovern wrote, "I ... wish that during the years I was in public office I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day."
DUH!
Never mind the fact it was HIM and his liberal asshole associates who caused a majority of the difficulties.
G.H.W.Bush was a fighter pilot in WWII, Ike was a General (and one of THE Generals) in WWII, Kennedy was a PT boat commander (unlike John F'n Kerry, who served in Vietnam), G.W.Bush was a fighter jet pilot. John McCain was a POW.
How far did that get them in the eyes of DUmmies?
The best president in US History was an actor who may have played a soldier in a movie.
The current one isn't even good at acting like a man, let alone a president.
