Astounding Triumph of Republicanism.

THE NORTH RISING IN INDIGNATION AT THE MENACES OF THE SOUTH

Abraham Lincoln Probably Elected President by a Majority of the Entire Popular Vote

Forty Thousand Majority for the Republican Ticket in New-York

One Hundred Thousand Majority in Pennsylvania

Seventy Thousand Majority in Massachusetts

Corresponding Gains in the Western and North-Western States

Preponderance of John Bell and Conservatism at the South

Results of the Contest upon Congressional and Local Tickets

The canvass for the Presidency of the United States terminated last evening, in all the States of the Union, under the revised regulation of Congress, passed in 1845, and the result, by the vote of New-York, is placed beyond question at once. It elects ABRAHAM LINCOLN of Illinois, President, and HANNIBAL HAMLIN of Maine, Vice-President of the United States, for four years, from the 4th March next, directly by the People.

The election, so far as the City and State of New-York are concerned, will probably stand, hereafter as one of the most remarkable in the political contests of the country; marked, as it is, by far the heaviest popular vote ever cast in the City, and by the sweeping, and almost uniform, Republican majorities in the country.

Laz, grow up and give the clintonisms. You are just hiding behind legalisms, and are behaving exactly as clinton did. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Here's a cup of nice hot joe, mack -- because I am ADHERING to the definition of the word "impeach". If anything, it is you who is behaving Clinton-ly, since it is you who wants to ignore the real meaning of a word and redefine it on-the-fly.

The truth of the matter is that Nixon was the only president to embarrass himself out of office

Only because Clinton is -- being as he is shameless -- impossible to embarrass into any act of decency, ever.

Let us be very clear about this: Richard Nixon resigned, and Bill Clinton was impeached.

[Lazamataz]

Besides, you posted this to the wrong thread.

I can tell you are not a member of the scientific trades, nor are you formally educated in science and/or logic. Your imprecision and lack-of-coherence demonstrates that.

At least one would be nice.

Vermont considered herself a sovereign nation. That's one.

[eddie willers]

What did those rich rebels spend their gold and silver on?

We know the ending balance was zero. Surely an astute archivist could examine confederate outlays and total them up.

Shadow of the Sentinel: One Man's Quest to Find the Hidden Treasure of the Confederacy
By Warren Getler, Bob Brewer

Interesting book.

[eddie willers]

BTW....your namesake figures quite prominently in the book I featured in the above post.

i am only the General's horseholder.

NO living person is worthy of doing more than that. GEN Stand Watie, while short of stature, stood TALL in relation to today's namby-pamby folks.

Jefferson Davis fought for a supreme court?

He sure did. He even put it in his state of the nation address for 1862:

"I invite the attention of Congress to the duty of organizing a Supreme Court of the Confederate States; in accordance with the mandate of the Constitution."

You know this, of course, but for some reason you prefer to fib about it.

[GOPcapitalist]

According to Time magazine, Bush has violated Habeus Corpus now 17,000 to 19,000 times. That's a record. No one knows the exact number because they can't talk to anyone. They just disappear.

Showing your true leftist colors, eh Fikus boy? Or should I say LLAN-DDUESSANT? Or Mortin? Or George Salt? Or somebody else holding you to ransom? Next, I suppose, you will be ranting about the Jews and posting links to marxist websites. Oh well. Got you banned before, will get you banned again.

[stand watie]

for some reason or other, N-S, the Minister of Damnyankee Propaganda, is "hung up" on the CSA not forming a supreme court in the middle of our war for independence.

i asked him once how long it took the 13 colonies to set one up & ha said it wasn't the same thing.

personally, i think spending more time on killing the invading damnyankee filth & winning the WBTS was MUCH more important between 1861-65 than forming a court.

btw, you cannot win any argument with N-S, as he is always right & the "filth that flowed down from the north" were PERFECT in every way. our grayclad, hungry, barefooted little army was always WRONG in every way. (SIMPLETONS yearn for simplistic answers!)

I can tell you are beaten poster. Beaten like a red haired step child.

[Held_to_Ransom]

Troll Go for it wimpy.

[Lazamataz]

I can tell you are beaten poster. Beaten like a red haired step child.

Putting your quoted material through the BabelFish Transmogrifier, I got this translation:

Held_to_Ransom: "I got nothin'. I'm wrong but I can't admit it. I fold."

[GOPcapitalist]

Held_to_Ransom: "I got nothin'. I'm wrong but I can't admit it. I fold."

ROTFLOL! That just about sums it up. He makes all sorts of wild claims around here but can never back them up when he's called on it. Mr. Ransom has also been banned from FR several times previously (mostly for posting leftist crap and obscenities) and is believed to be the same person as ex-disrupters Titus_Fikus, LLAN-DDUESSANT, Mortin_Sult, Who_is_George_Salt and perhaps three or four others.

[GOPcapitalist]

As expected, I see that you are reduced to incoherency.

[Held_to_Ransom]

Incoherency is in the mind of the beholder. I accept your stipulation.

[GOPcapitalist]

Incoherency is in the mind of the beholder.

And I am sure that within your mind somewhere, probably not too deeply inside of it, the unsubstantiated nonsense you post around here makes perfect sense. A disconnect exists somewhere in between that location and the outside world though. Thus what comes across clearly to you lacks any substantial coherency to any normal, rational, and competent reader existing in that vast realm beyond your own pointed little head.

[Held_to_Ransom]

Lincoln was a God. The ground he walked you are unfit to look upon.

[palmer]

Actually Held_to_Ransom's liberal ideas can easily be coherent since he makes up all his "facts".

[Lazamataz]

Lincoln was a God. The ground he walked you are unfit to look upon.

Do I have this straight -- you are a Christian yet you call mortal men G-d?

[Lazamataz]

Is this true? Are you a retread, HtR?

L-rd knows you sure post a lot of leftist stuff.
