Interviewer (Charles Mayes)- My name is Charles Mayes. I’m here today with the two presidential candidates, Mr. Richard Milhous Nixon and Mr. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, to get an understanding of both standpoints on current politics. To start we will go to Mr. John F. Kennedy with the first question. Mr. Kennedy why do you think that people should vote for you instead of Vice President Nixon?
JFK- Well as you know myself and the Vice President both come out of previous government positions. Myself coming from the Democratic party worked in the Legislative branch at the same time that Mr. Nixon was in the Executive branch. As for what I plan to do during my presidency I think it is a good idea if I tell you the programs that we advocate. I am liberal and am open to new ideas. I know that many are skeptical because I would be the only Roman Catholic President to have been elected. I believe that “the people” have become obscured with my religion over the real issues in our country. I realized that we are in changing times and one significant genre I’d like to focus on is the federal aid for our education as well as medical care which previous Republican candidates have been seemingly against. These are things I would like to keep in high interest.
Interviewer (Charles Mayes)- Thank you Mr. Kennedy for your input and now we would like to hear Nixon’s view on current politics and as to why we should vote for him.
Nixon- Well I am from the Republican Party, as the people have decided that, by the majority of my supporters. The course of this country relies simply on private business. A big misconception of our current economy is how much our federal government, as well as our state governments make in total money in comparison to individual enterprise. It is resulted that the private sector of the modern economy has had the greatest expansion that has ever been witnessed in an eight year period. The individual enterprise is each and every person’s dream to run their own business and eventually ends up paying for our schools, highways, and eventually runs full circle. I believe in having a strong economy as our countries backbone and the key to this is a constant growth in private enterprise. A small government can let “the people” take care of this country.
