1960 election- Richard Nixon talks to his supporters

Back


3AM EST- 12 Midnight PST on election night, 1960, and a weary Vice President Richard Nixon delivers a rambling half-concession speech to his supporters. In Hyannisport, JFK tells his inner circle,"Why should he concede? I wouldn't". 8 hours later Nixon has his press secretary Herb Klein deliver the formal concession, an act JFK complains about- it proves Nixon has "no class".

I think there's more evidence that Kennedy stole the 60 election than that Bush stole the 2000 election.

I just saw a show on BBC that said Nixon was Shady, but that he also was the high school loser who became president,

THEY WERE CLOSE! NIXON WAS EVIL! PURE EVIL!EVIL PERSONIFIED!
CLINTON AND CARTER WERE EVIL TOO!
GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH JUST TOOK UP WHERE NIXON LEFT OFF AND BECAME A ONE TERM PRESIDENT. HIS SON GEORGE TRIED TO DO THE RIGHT THING BUT CHENEY SCREWED HIM OVER AND US TOO. Clinton set up the present financial debacle however but Nixon made it possible.

THEY WERE!
Welcome to Nixon's NIGHTMARE WORLD!
And it doesn't matter if Democrats or Republicans win --NIXON is the ONE who put it all in place...

Cheney joined Nixon's White Housed crew of psychopaths and scofflaws in 1969 --says so in his autobiography! Unless you want to say he is a liar too because Nixon certainly was.

As I said, Cheney was not a high up official in the Nixon administration. He was a part of it, but he was not in a key position. You act like he and Nixon were close or something, which is ridiculous.

It speaks volumes about you that you can't even spell the names of people you are loathing.
