In the 1850s, the Republican Party was created in the state of Wisconsin because the Whig Party did not represent the view of the people. Abraham Lincoln was a Whig candidate, up until that time when he became the first candidate under the Republican banner.

Is it now time to replace the Republican Party....the Party who is at war with We The People?

Not accurate - Lincoln was the Second GOP Presidential candidate.

Still no one commenting on the fact this was caused by Amendment 6 and this was all but certain to happen if Amendment 6 passed and did not get overturned. It seems we are increasingly starting to be making emotion-based arguments rather than fact based arguments...a trait normally found by those on the other side of the spectrum. The Democrats are getting a double victory on this one - the amendment getting passed to begin with to get rid of West, and now people blaming it on the GOP legislature.
