I am watching this debate in 2012 and see clearly that the problem here in the United States is all elected officials or big ass kissers. We have moved to slavery and we are falling. I truly hope that Obama or the next President take a firm stand for the people and not for corporations which have been the down fall of America
The reason why the debate was so civil is because politics were civil in those days. Why? Because this was before Black Power, before the unconstitutional Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, before the welfare state the Democratic Party had been dreaming of for four decades became a reality under LBJ, and before we got our butts kicked in Vietnam, before the Supreme Court banned prayer and legalized abortion, and before hippies took their filth out of the classroom and into the street.
I don't understand why people said Nixon looked so bad during these debates. He doesn't look any better or worse than Kennedy. (I mean physically, not "look like" as in to judge what he's saying).
-.- If Kennedy was indeed chairman of the african subcomitee, then why oh why does he call africa a country? I am myself a liberal, but calling africa a single country is something that only Palin should do.
Nixon won. Years ago I was a Kennedy fan ,and was sure that he won, However, like many people I was looking at him more than paying attention to anything else
Teddy Roosevelt was a good republican and Kennedy was a good democrat it happens depends on the candidate not the party but we need a Teddy Roosevelt right now
Это вроде первые в мире телевизионные дебаты ? Никсон все равно стал президентом хоть и много лет спустя. но лучше поздно чем никогда !! А кто больше нравится Американцам Никсон или Кеннеди?
What is great about this is that Nixon claims that Kennedy will spend too much, but the Kennedy-LBJ administration kept a balance budget and Nixon lost it after one year. History seemed to echo itself with the Bush-Clinton and Bush-Gore debates.
I wish presidents would talk about what will actually happen with their programs rather than these grandiose intentions. Democrats and big government advocates would be in trouble if that was the case.
I'm Republican, but also a great admirer of Harry Truman. In the debate, Nixon said that in the Eisenhour admiistration, income went up 15% but only 2% under Truman. I believe it was because we were winning WWII and then had to recover the economy. It wasn't Truman's fault. It was WW II. Both men were great Presidents, and Harry Truman wasn't a real politician like todaty. He was an ordnary guy who made great descisions!

@dan2009 Yeah he talks about it. From Wikipedia: "Similarly, Richard Nixon made no effort to roll back the Great Society after he was elected in 1968. Like Eisenhower, he emphasized proper management of government programs and the necessity of financing them even if it meant raising taxes" They all TALK about it.......then they get elected!!
@baroncrab91 You said it, friend! I think civility should be Number One Priority of our current politicians: model it, and implement it; stop the insanity, because that doesn't lead to anything good. And being polite doesn't "cost" a dime - ! : )
Nixon lost before it even started because he let Kennedy frame the debate. Kennedy gave a great opening speech, and Nixon simply said how he agreed or differed from Kennedy.
@csplendrig Interestingly, ppl who said they watched the debate on TV polled 75% for Kennedy, those who listened to it on the radio polled about the same amount but for Nixon. Therefore Kennedy's picture, as a handsome and young senator clearly won him the election, especially considering how close it was. Based on that data I'd say Nixon won the debate, it was only ppl who saw kennedy on tv who said kennedy won.
its actualy kind of sad that nixon is thought of as such a bad president. While he was obviously a person of bad morals he was a good president, his decision in Vietnam wasn't quite his because of Truman's containment policy and Eisenhower's "domino theory". He also made huge advancements in China towards us being on good relations.
ugh the editing bothered me. i had to do a report on the facts they stated in this debate and peices of their words were missing. (this was the only place i could find the debates online)
@TheAmazingstarman I just realized that Truman also took office as vice president in early 1945. Wow, how did we both miss that one? But imagine if Obama said Clinton came to office in 1992, or Bush said his father took office in 1988.
had JFK lived theres is a good chance he would have escalated the war in Viet Nam,unless he could have arranged some kind of back door deal i think that he would have been faced with the same issue Johnson was and that is,do you sit by and let all of Viet Nam fall to the comnunist or do we try to stop it?
I think Kennedy could have really done alot of good for America, he didnt even want to go to war in Vietnam, but the higher system, Oil contractors, business fat cats, even alot of his own senators and military generals saw it differently. And I think it was a combination of these also including secret service, CIA, and even mafia that all contributed to the planning and his eventual assassination.
better speaker =nixon..... better tv personality= kennedy. thats why people who saw this believed kennedy won while those who heard it on the radio say nixon won
I loathe from my soul that Kennedy was assassinated- if only Nixon could have won so that Kennedy could have lived his life out in peace...but it is so with every good and sincere man; they pay for their integrity with their lives. So it was with Jesus, with Dr. King Jr., with Ghandi, and with Abe Lincoln. Only Former President Clinton was able to get away alive by God's grace.
nixon did the usa wrong because he sold out the our trust and i am sorry for that, i loved the way america was going in 1962 1963 the kennedy murder was a bad event no matter how we look at it and he world is not in a good way now.
once we all heard nixon say he is no crook that was the end of the american fair play, for that nixon betrayed the usa.
I don't believe it's right how Nixon is almost universally vilified. He was incredibly intelligent and quick witted, he worked his way to the stop through sheer determination. A better record than some other presidents!
nixon should have been given a hair cut we could have done the right thing and try him and all that he is was and would be, a traiter to the usa.
i am very dissapointed that history paint him as a hero and pardon the filth he left there in dc, in france they would cut his head off and that would do justice.
then came bush 2 and we all know what is in his head.
@sapiscnn Nixon wasn't a traitor, he was a man who got caught bullshiting in private. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Put a tape recorder under any family's table and you're likely to hear potentially "damaging" comments. At least Nixon knew that jews control the media, and that fact alone means he was more aware than the average US citizen.
@BdoFilms How is your comment even remotely related to the topic at hand? Why don't you try to come up with an intelligent thought and try to debate me, rather than trying to insult me?
Socialism has a negative affect on all of society. America was the envy of the world. We used to have the highest wages and the best products. Now we have all kinds of social programs. Socialized money, retirement, health care, education. Look at the result, people are working more hours for less money.
@BdoFilms I don`t watch Fox or any of the other news on TV.I would rather read or research these topics before ever watching all that dissorted crap that they try to sell.Its all about ratings.As far as the civil tone in this debate goes.Thats true and these two candidates did have a certain respect for each other but it was also new for this type of politics.Alot of the candidates today would refer to those pioneers of national television debates to try to get an edge.
So both of them were socialists that continued America's path toward the cliff. They just argue on how to most screw the productive people of society.
@Cioppa182 Not even close.Kennedy was a war hero.Kennedy stood strong against the Russians.Kennedy pushed on getting us to the moon.Obama is pushing people to the unemployment line.Not even close.
I think 5:18, although a seemingly insignificant part of the debate, shows a great amount of respect, focus and calmness that is hardly seen in politics today.
I think it would have probably been better if Nixon had been elected -- not because he was any better -- but because America would have more dignity now. We lost our innocence when Kennedy was assasinated. We were shamed and the oval office tarnished when Nixon resigned. With Nixon elected in 1960 Kennedy could have lived out a healthy life and Nixon could have had a more serene presidency unencumbered by the pressures of an endgame in Vietnam.
@eayrs I don't necessarily agree with you, but that's a good point. Lots of things would be different if Nixon had been elected. Thanks for your comment.
@MiscVideos78rpm Thank you. Of course it would be very different and there would no doubt be some downsides as well. But with all of the misfortunes that ensued later that decade it is hard to imagine it getting any worse (short of nuclear war or civil bloodshed). This is why, assuming that Kennedy's election leads to his untimely death, I posit that it would have been better the other way around.
@MiscVideos78rpm I, on the other hand, couldn't disagree more. Nixon was a scandalous, self centered cock sucker(pardon my language), and even given the circumstances of the aforementioned assassination and resignation, Kennedy did more for this country than nixon ever could have hoped to.
@eayrs If Nixon had won then he would have died(which deserved) but Nixon didn't have leadership skills and was the 3rd worst president ever and if Nixon won he would have started a nuclear war with The Soviet Union and we would have lost because they had the most advanced weapons of mass destruction. while you have a good point I'm glad JFK won. JFK is the 2nd best president ever!
@eayrs it's impossible to say, but i think nixon's inherent paranoia and megalomania, his spectacular downfall would have been imminent regardless of when he was elected. i also suspect that there were such insidious forces allied against the presidency from within the government itself that a shakedown was inevitable. nixon was a victim of his own flaws, but also of much treachery.
@eayrs Cleopatra's nose, the theory of what if? in history if only one thing was different how it changes so much. If cleopatra was not as attractive ,then Antony and things would have played out different. On Vietnam we woudl have still went in and probably left in a better way, we did win in Vietnam, the South lost it when we left. Kennedy might have went into obscurity. Nixon DID win the election of 1960, Kennedy stole it. I surmise a better nation if Nixon became President.
@eayrs I believe if Nixon had been elected in 1960, this world would still be suffering from nuclear warfare due to 1962s Cuban Missile Crisis. I have no doubt that Nixon would of taken the advice of those war birds. If youve ever heard those tapes of the CMC, all the hawks were askin for thumbs up on bombing the missile sites in Cuba. JFK played his cards right and didnt let these guys back him into a corner and start a nuclear war which surely would of if we invaded Cuba or bombed the missiles
@KlondikeG good point. I guess my comment started a lot of speculation. It is to Kennedy's credit that he did not escalate the Cuban missile crisis, but not too many sane people would have. And the Bay of Pigs fiasco did not help matters. That aside, in the same situation you really think Dick was crazy enough to launch nukes?
@eayrs I actually liked Nixon, he did a lot of good for this country but he wasn't named Tricky Dick for nothing. As for dropping nukes during the Cuban Missile Crisis, its recorded that he actually thought over the idea of dropping nukes during the Vietnam war. I believe in Cambodia? or N Vietnam. bombing their water dikes systems which would of drowned thousands apon thousands of innocent people & also a neutral country. Lets not forget about the nuclear fallout that would of remained behind.
@TheTraumarama not necessarly. First off, we shouldn't give in to the Russians and cower away everytime they threaten to bomb. If that happened, we wouldn't be the last superpower around and the Soviet Union would still be around. This nation has to be assertive yet fair in foreign relations not submissive
@TheTraumarama which is why in his term he eased relations with them? nixon was great people just dont realize it everything yes everything he did was to protect our country
@eayrs I think that kennedy being assasinated made it impossible for there to be a real progressive in the whitehouse. defense contractors would shit themsleves :(
@eayrs if Nixon had been the president at the time Kennedy was, half the U.S. probably would have been blown up during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy was a blessing. We were lucky that what Nixon did during his presidency was not during a time of international jeopardy.
@KGarza2323 Someone else said that too, but I don't think he would have launched nuclear weapons. He had the chance to do it in Vietnam but he didn't, even when the conflict was slipping away. He bombed the hell out of Cambodia, but he didn't use nukes. I don't think he was that crazy. When facing impeachment he could have used his command of the army to shut down the process and create a police state. He didn't, because for all of his flaws he was not insane. Stop implying that he was.
@KGarza2323 But would the crisis have even occured if Nixon were in office? Keep in mind, Kennedy's performance during the summit in Geneva in 1961 combined with his covert attempts to oust Castro helped create the missle crisis in the first place.
@eayrs How would Nixon have handled the Cuban missle crisis? Who can say? But if he had handled it very differently, the world might be a very different place today, indeed.
@eayrs Interesting point. If Nixon was elected however we would all be dead from Nuclear War. Nixon initiated the Bay of Pigs which was a ruse by the CIA to force the US to military action against Cuba which would have led to direct involvment by Russia, leading to all out Nuclear exchange which many of the Joint Chiefrs of Staff wanted at the time. We are alive because of JFK and RFK's conclusion that nuclear war was to be avoided.
@dan3232 Amazing to think about no? We owe our very lives, our existence, our children's lives and their futures, to the cool headed, peacefull- solution driven policies and descisions of JFK and his brother Rob. I don't believe that there was a single person other than JFK in the entire world that could have prevented, as he did, the onset of nuclear war that would have inevitably brought an abrubt and shamefull end to the world as we know it. One person. We truely owe him our lives.
@eayrs Nixon tarnished himself. Do you know the history? He was involved in a vast consipiracy involving break ins into the National Democratic Head Quarters. That's how "dirty tricks" originated.
@eayrs Nixon in the Cuban Missle Crisis. Would he have invaded Cuba? If so, recent information tells us the US shore invasion would have been welcomed by operational tactical nukes, and the launch of strategic nukes up the east coast.. Yikes!
If he had of supported the Bay of Pigs with US forces, the missle crisis may not have happened but who knows what WOULD have? Im happy with the world still in existance, thanks to Kennedy in '62.
@aaronsdavis Nobody really knows what he would have done or how the Cubans would have reacted to things that they did not encounter. Maybe it could have been averted through other diplomatic efforts. One would hope that any American president would not lead us to a nuclear holocaust. But that's a scary thought and I would not take that gamble.
@eayrs As for lost innocence, im not sure innocence is a good thing for any nuclear power. All great nations will have martyrs. The dignity of the Presindency can be won back, but we wont appreciate the fact until after the 2nd term...or possibly another american martyr-leader.
@aaronsdavis I like how you emphasized the necessity for martyrs in society. Martyrdom certainly catapulted Lincoln into legendary status, but I hadn't thought of Kennedy in these terms; maybe because he was more recent or he lacked a central event such as the Civil War to give him such an epic label. Lincoln's death helped the country heal in the long term. I see Kennedy's death, however, as pointless - a power play by some criminals. He didn't need to die for anything. It left a bad mark.
@eayrs Well, i'll just say I think Kennedy's death was far from pointless. The CIA would gain authority. And they've connected themselves to every major military activity since then.
@aaronsdavis anyhow very well said. We don't appreciate what we have until it's leaving. I hope the dignity does return. I have seen glimpses here and there.
@eayrs That is the most assanine comment i have ever heard. The oval office was shamed when the president decided he was a king and stated "when the president does it, its not illegal". THAT is the shame and stain Nixon foerever put on the United States.
@dan3232 It's actually pretty reasonable if you think about it. I am not debating the causes of the shame to which you refer, I am speculating what might have happened if the election result was different. Given: Kennedy was assasinated and Nixon was elected five years later. It is my wishful thinking that if Nixon were president five years earlier those scandals would not have happened. It is my safe assumption that Kennedy would not have died. He might have ran again. This seems better.
@raiddarick543 No, he wasn't impeached. I lived through that era. they simply announced that they had discovered that everything that was secretly said was preserved on reel-to-reel audio tapes, tapes that Nixon himself ordered made. (There was a secret tape recorder running all day in his office.) Once this was made public, Nixon had no choice but to either face impeachment or resign. He resigned.
Some things change, some things stay the same. Even then the Dems wanted more control over the citizens. Those polled about this speech who listened to it on radio felt Nixon won, those watching on tv felt Kennedy had won (pretty boy thing). President Eisenhower knew how to fix a broken border back then (Google it). So to wrap up I would like to say that obama has almost nothing in common with JFK other than they both belonged to th Dem. party. JFK would never have pissed on this country.
Hate to tell you but Nixon was a racist, you listen to his audio tapes he talks about only letting interracial couples getting abortions since because that kind of mixing isn't the right kind. Nixon not a racist what a joke. Kennedy i believe was not a racist you look at the great strives he and his brother Robert took to get King out of jail or the protection giving to Freedom Riders and other patriots of civil rights.
i believe that if Kennedy had lived, he wouldn't he would have been as big of a disasters as Nixon was in his last days. it was his fault that we even got in to Vietnam to begin with
That is not possible. Our involvement with Vietnam began well before JFK even became President. Ships with arms and supplies were being sent in to Haifong Harbor as early as 1941.
@StarLite9152 But they were being sent under Roosevelt for a different reason. Roosevelt wanted Vietnam to be one united free country, his VP did not understand that and Truman had wanted Vietnam to be a French colony. Also lets not forget that the guns were usually sent to the French staying in Vietnam to fight the local inhabitants.
@StarLite9152 Arms were being sent EVERYWHERE during WWII. (1941) We needed to arm those orient countries, try to keep Japan in check. We (Ike) were also helping the French during their war in Indochina (Nam) Didnt do any good though lol Kennedy did escalate that coming war by sending more military advisors to Vietnam. He MUST of knew that was going to ruffle some feathers over there. I would believe he would of never sent troops there unless we were REALLY attacked, not that Gulf of Tonkin crap
Correction, the date was 1945. This even predated the CIA which was known then as the Office of Strategic Services or OSS.
So many history books get things wrong because they are published by journalists and publishers who do not work for people interested in the truth, rather interested in furthering US financial and strategic interests. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident NEVER happened period. McNamara stated this before he died. Yet every history book will tell you differently.
People on the radio back then said they thought Nixon won, on TV JFK. I think Nixon was stronger, and had a better agenda at the time. Kennedy turned out ok, but then he did give us LBJ (which could not be expected of course). Nixon also, of course, had awful issues.
Agnew, who also had to resign in disgrace rather than face charges. I honestly however don't know how you can say Nixon had a better agenda when he was surrounded not just by a criminal VP but by a whole slew of criminals most of whom went to prison. I presume that is what you meant by awful issues.
The agenda was still mostly better, although JFK now would be considered too right wing for democrats. Nixon's paranoia ruined him, but his overall thinking was not so bad. It's a tough choice to really pic sides.
JFK was good on tax cuts, but he seems in this debate all too willing to have the government intervene in the private sector--specifically, the farming community.
Both he and Nixon were what we'd call moderates--they were liberal in some ways, conservative in others. The clashes were in where each one was left or right.
Another thing, some progress is not for the best. See the Stimulus bill, or may I call it by its proper name, The Spending bill. The bill that put our government 3trillion dollars deeper in debt and deficet. May I also show you the fact that we are cow towing to foreign countries? Or is that "Incindeary" or "opposing progression" because from what i see you are opposing anythinjg that is not you and you want to squelch it.
I'm not a bad guy, I just don't think pork barrel spending is good.
Did you support the health care bill that is currently trying to be passed? If you did you obviously did not notice the contradictions to a supreme court case that said government funded abortions are not constitutional on the premise that an abortion is a choice issue and the government can't help you with choice issues of such a manner. Maybe your brown lips could get off of Rachel Madow for 2 seconds and understand that when the supreme court says no they mean it.
Ok, Poly, about your previous statement about the dixiecrats, you are incorrect sir. The dixiecrats are their own 3rd party, not a part of the Democratic party. I doubt that the dems would let them join if they wanted to because they have rivaling view points.
Are you by chance a Liberal? It's kinda obvious by the amount you cry, remember, the biggest bitch cries the loudest.
Dixiecrats was the nickname given to the States Rights Democratic Party. Strom Thurmond ran in support of segregation and opposition to civil rights on this ticket in 1948. Dixiecrat became a name for right wing Southern Democrats after 1948.
well, he actually resigned before he could be impeached. With Clinton he was impeached for lying under oath cause he was afraid of his wife finding out. But yes, I do agrea with you.
I am watching this debate in 2012 and see clearly that the problem here in the United States is all elected officials or big ass kissers. We have moved to slavery and we are falling. I truly hope that Obama or the next President take a firm stand for the people and not for corporations which have been the down fall of America

Kennedy's gaffes ~8:00-9:00:
1. Refers to Africa as a country
2. "Mr. Truman came to office in 1944"
3. On economic growth: prefers to compare 20yrs under Dems to 8yrs under Repubs
Later, he calls 1920s agriculture a free market. But it was perhaps the most protected market of the decade.
How do we keep electing these people??

had JFK lived theres is a good chance he would have escalated the war in Viet Nam,unless he could have arranged some kind of back door deal i think that he would have been faced with the same issue Johnson was and that is,do you sit by and let all of Viet Nam fall to the comnunist or do we try to stop it?
meuccilawless 1 year ago
I think Kennedy could have really done alot of good for America, he didnt even want to go to war in Vietnam, but the higher system, Oil contractors, business fat cats, even alot of his own senators and military generals saw it differently. And I think it was a combination of these also including secret service, CIA, and even mafia that all contributed to the planning and his eventual assassination.

@sapiscnn Nixon wasn't a traitor, he was a man who got caught bullshiting in private. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Put a tape recorder under any family's table and you're likely to hear potentially "damaging" comments. At least Nixon knew that jews control the media, and that fact alone means he was more aware than the average US citizen.

Socialism has a negative affect on all of society. America was the envy of the world. We used to have the highest wages and the best products. Now we have all kinds of social programs. Socialized money, retirement, health care, education. Look at the result, people are working more hours for less money.

I think it would have probably been better if Nixon had been elected -- not because he was any better -- but because America would have more dignity now. We lost our innocence when Kennedy was assasinated. We were shamed and the oval office tarnished when Nixon resigned. With Nixon elected in 1960 Kennedy could have lived out a healthy life and Nixon could have had a more serene presidency unencumbered by the pressures of an endgame in Vietnam.

@MiscVideos78rpm Thank you. Of course it would be very different and there would no doubt be some downsides as well. But with all of the misfortunes that ensued later that decade it is hard to imagine it getting any worse (short of nuclear war or civil bloodshed). This is why, assuming that Kennedy's election leads to his untimely death, I posit that it would have been better the other way around.

Saxihim 1 year ago
@eayrs If Nixon had won then he would have died(which deserved) but Nixon didn't have leadership skills and was the 3rd worst president ever and if Nixon won he would have started a nuclear war with The Soviet Union and we would have lost because they had the most advanced weapons of mass destruction. while you have a good point I'm glad JFK won. JFK is the 2nd best president ever!

jpatrickbad 1 year ago
@eayrs I believe if Nixon had been elected in 1960, this world would still be suffering from nuclear warfare due to 1962s Cuban Missile Crisis. I have no doubt that Nixon would of taken the advice of those war birds. If youve ever heard those tapes of the CMC, all the hawks were askin for thumbs up on bombing the missile sites in Cuba. JFK played his cards right and didnt let these guys back him into a corner and start a nuclear war which surely would of if we invaded Cuba or bombed the missiles
KlondikeG 1 year ago
@KlondikeG good point. I guess my comment started a lot of speculation. It is to Kennedy's credit that he did not escalate the Cuban missile crisis, but not too many sane people would have. And the Bay of Pigs fiasco did not help matters. That aside, in the same situation you really think Dick was crazy enough to launch nukes?
eayrs 1 year ago
@eayrs I actually liked Nixon, he did a lot of good for this country but he wasn't named Tricky Dick for nothing. As for dropping nukes during the Cuban Missile Crisis, its recorded that he actually thought over the idea of dropping nukes during the Vietnam war. I believe in Cambodia? or N Vietnam. bombing their water dikes systems which would of drowned thousands apon thousands of innocent people & also a neutral country. Lets not forget about the nuclear fallout that would of remained behind.

KGarza2323 1 year ago
@KGarza2323 Someone else said that too, but I don't think he would have launched nuclear weapons. He had the chance to do it in Vietnam but he didn't, even when the conflict was slipping away. He bombed the hell out of Cambodia, but he didn't use nukes. I don't think he was that crazy. When facing impeachment he could have used his command of the army to shut down the process and create a police state. He didn't, because for all of his flaws he was not insane. Stop implying that he was.
eayrs 1 year ago
@KGarza2323 But would the crisis have even occured if Nixon were in office? Keep in mind, Kennedy's performance during the summit in Geneva in 1961 combined with his covert attempts to oust Castro helped create the missle crisis in the first place.

@eayrs Interesting point. If Nixon was elected however we would all be dead from Nuclear War. Nixon initiated the Bay of Pigs which was a ruse by the CIA to force the US to military action against Cuba which would have led to direct involvment by Russia, leading to all out Nuclear exchange which many of the Joint Chiefrs of Staff wanted at the time. We are alive because of JFK and RFK's conclusion that nuclear war was to be avoided.

@aaronsdavis Nobody really knows what he would have done or how the Cubans would have reacted to things that they did not encounter. Maybe it could have been averted through other diplomatic efforts.

@eayrs As for lost innocence, im not sure innocence is a good thing for any nuclear power. All great nations will have martyrs. The dignity of the Presindency can be won back, but we wont appreciate the fact until after the 2nd term...or possibly another american martyr-leader.
aaronsdavis 1 year ago
@aaronsdavis I like how you emphasized the necessity for martyrs in society. Martyrdom certainly catapulted Lincoln into legendary status, but I hadn't thought of Kennedy in these terms; maybe because he was more recent or he lacked a central event such as the Civil War to give him such an epic label. Lincoln's death helped the country heal in the long term. I see Kennedy's death, however, as pointless - a power play by some criminals. He didn't need to die for anything. It left a bad mark.
eayrs 1 year ago
@eayrs Well, i'll just say I think Kennedy's death was far from pointless. The CIA would gain authority. And they've connected themselves to every major military activity since then.

@dan3232 It's actually pretty reasonable if you think about it. I am not debating the causes of the shame to which you refer, I am speculating what might have happened if the election result was different. Given: Kennedy was assasinated and Nixon was elected five years later. It is my wishful thinking that if Nixon were president five years earlier those scandals would not have happened. It is my safe assumption that Kennedy would not have died. He might have ran again. This seems better.

@raiddarick543 No, he wasn't impeached. I lived through that era. they simply announced that they had discovered that everything that was secretly said was preserved on reel-to-reel audio tapes, tapes that Nixon himself ordered made. (There was a secret tape recorder running all day in his office.) Once this was made public, Nixon had no choice but to either face impeachment or resign. He resigned.

Some things change, some things stay the same. Even then the Dems wanted more control over the citizens. Those polled about this speech who listened to it on radio felt Nixon won, those watching on tv felt Kennedy had won (pretty boy thing). President Eisenhower knew how to fix a broken border back then (Google it). So to wrap up I would like to say that obama has almost nothing in common with JFK other than they both belonged to th Dem. party. JFK would never have pissed on this country.

Correction, the date was 1945. This even predated the CIA which was known then as the Office of Strategic Services or OSS.
So many history books get things wrong because they are published by journalists and publishers who do not work for people interested in the truth, rather interested in furthering US financial and strategic interests. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident NEVER happened period. McNamara stated this before he died. Yet every history book will tell you differently.

People on the radio back then said they thought Nixon won, on TV JFK. I think Nixon was stronger, and had a better agenda at the time. Kennedy turned out ok, but then he did give us LBJ (which could not be expected of course). Nixon also, of course, had awful issues.

I presume that is what you meant by awful issues.
