Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"I do believe that we must continuously watch the whole proposition of putting money into political campaigns."

"I have tried to be a little bit on the, let's say, cautionary side rather than on the optimistic."

"I think this is a matter that is appraised, certainly every week and sometimes every day"

"I would like to see the intent on the part of the American people, after their attention is drawn to this thing, to cut it down somewhat each year"
