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.

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.
