Truth is a habit of integrity, not a strategy of politics.

I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.

Pay attention to the hungry, both in this country and around the world. Pay attention to the poor. Pay attention to our responsibilities for world peace. We are our brother's keeper.

My heart does sometimes bleed for those who are hurting in my own country and abroad.

I hope I live long enough to see every hungry school child in the world being fed under the so-called McGovern-Dole program.

I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie. My dad was a Methodist minister. I went off to war. I have been married to the same woman forever. I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
