John Kennedy actually said...

"I do not believe that Mr. Nixon, since his nomination, has indicated any understanding or willingness to face up to the problems that this country faces."

"The rainbowlike spectrum of his political beliefs defies description in either color or breadth."

"The Congress has an important function, but in a very real sense the Congress can block, but only the President of the United States can propose."

"We welcome Mr. Nixon's candid confession at this late hour that he is a Republican."
