I Suppose Politicians Have Always Wanted To

The Establishment Center... Has Led Us Into The Stupidest And Cruelest War In All History. That War Is A Moral And Political Disaster - A Terrible Cancer Eating Away At The Soul Of Our Nation.

When I Was In The War, I Was Lucky That I Was In A Plane And Never Saw The Carnage Close-up.

And This Is The Time. It Is The Time For This Land To Become Again A Witness To The World For What Is Noble And Just In Human Affairs. It Is The Time To Live More With Faith And Less With Fear- With An Abiding Confidence That Can Sweep Away The Strongest Barriers Between Us And Teach Us That We Truly Are Brothers And Sisters.

The Earth Has Enough Knowledge And Resources To Eradicate This Ancient Scourge. Hunger Has Plagued The World For Thousands Of Years. But Ending It Is A Greater Moral Imperative Now Than Ever Before, Because For The First Time Humanity Has The Instruments At Hand To Defeat This Cruel Enemy At A Very Reasonable Cost. We Have The Ability To Provide Food For All Within The Next Three Decades.

I Firmly Believed Throughout 1971 That The Major Hurdle To Winning The Presidency Was Winning The Democratic Nomination. I Believed That Any Reasonable Democrat Would Defeat President Nixon. I Now Think That No One Could Have Defeated Him In 1972.
