STATEMENT FOR TEDDY GLEASON
I am one working man who is not going to tolerate the insults
and arrogance of the McGovern-Shriver ticket. They have treated
working people like children. They have insulted us with their rhetoric.
They have accused us of being "bosses" and of being dictatorial. Today
let's set the record straight.
First, Mr. McGovern said that "any laboring man or woman
who supports President Nixon ought to have his head examined. 11 Then
he said that any worker who supports President Nixon "is too confused
to know which end is up. 11 Finally, last week in Ohio he said: "Any
labor man or woman who supports Mr. Nixon is going to have a bad
deal and I think they deserve it. 11 (emphasis added)
If heads need examining, it's those of Mr. McGovern and his corps
of high-powered elites who look down their nose at the working man.
And any of you who know Teddy Gleason better believe it when I tell you
I know which end is up - - and it isn't McGovern's. I might add, if
Mr. McGovern thinks the worker deserves a bad deal, he ought to know;
he's been giving the worker a bad deal ever since he's been running for
office.
I'm just plain sick and tired of George McGovern running around
acting like he's mankind's gift to labor. It's the working mau's son
and grandson who answered the call to go to Victnam and fight with
honor. It is Mr. McGovern who wants to let all the draft evaders
out of jail and let the boys who ran away to Canada come 1, % without
Page 2
any penalty. It's not the working man who's confused about marijuana;
it's Mr. McGovern. First, he said marijuana oug! i to be legalized
like alcohol, and then he changes his mind. I'm just not sure where
he stands any more, but I know where the worker stands we don't
want marijuana legalized, period!
There are literally dozens of issues where Senator McGovern
doesn't know which end is up. We want jobs, and he votes against
SST, Lockheed, and the space effort. He voted each time to put my
brothers out of work.
We believe in a strong defense policy; McGovern wants to cut all
the muscle out of the military and 1.8 million jobs in the process.
We believe in the honor of America's commitment to the people
of South Vietnam. McGovern wants to beg Hanoi and turn South Victnam
over to the Communisms, and he never criticizes the murderous North
Vietnamese.
We believe the working man has a role in American politics,
but Senator McGovern threw us out of the Miami Convention and treated
us like lepers. He insulted virtually everyone in the labor movement
from George Meany on down.
We believe in working for what we get, McGovern proposes more
and more welfare and more and more taxes for the worker. I don't want
a $1000 handout or McGovern's 1000% support.
Page 3
I'll match my boys' pea jacket coats and calloused hands
any day against McGovern's pucci ties and Sarge Shriver's $400
Pierre Cardin suits, and the bell bottoms and satin hot pants of
their followers.
Let's fact it; there's nothing about the McGovernite movement
which offers any thing to the American working man. He dishonors
our military, runs down the worker and plays up welfare, criticizes
our allies, remains silent about the enemy, votes to put people out of
work, insults us with his rhetoric and treats us like we are supposed
to be in his hip pocket.
That is why I support President Nixon today. There is a lotat
stake in 1972, and frankly I am worried sick about what would happen
to America under George McGovern. I am worried about our foreign
policy, our family life, our commitment to honor, and the future of
my children and grandchildren. When I pull the lever for Richard Nixon,
I know I'll be keeping the ship's captain at the helm instead of replacing
him with the galley cook.
