John Kennedy actually said...

"You have my pledge that I will do all in my power to live up to the faith and trust you place in me by your action."

"And my only pledge to you is this: That if I am elected I will summon all the resources of this great and strong Republic to make the coming years the years when freedom grew strong and began to move ..."

"Our position is one of certainty, that the future can belong to freedom, that this country can be secure, that we can turn the balance of power in our direction."

"Mr. Nixon and I disagree very basically on the position of the United States, on what must be done to increase our security, and what must be done to maintain the peace."
