Transcription

In 1967, Senator George McGovern said he was not an advocate of unilateral withdrawal of our troops from Vietnam. Now, of course, he is. Last year, the senator suggested regulating marijuana along the same lines as alcohol. Now he is against legalizing it and says he always has been. Last January, Senator McGovern suggested a welfare plan that would give a $1,000 bill to every man, woman, and child in the country. Now he says maybe the $1,000 figure isn't right. Throughout the year, he has proposed unconditional amnesty for all draft dodgers. Now his running mate claims he proposed no such thing. In Florida, he was pro-busing. In Oregon, he said he would support the anti-busing bill then in Congress. Last year, this year. The question is, what about next year?
