And they're forever speaking at Lincoln Day celebrations, and at the Lincoln Memorial. Like it or not, the GOP goes out of it's way to tie itself with Abraham Lincoln.
In closing, I want to leave you with this quote from Mrs. Bush at the RNC.
"No American President ever wants to go to war. Abraham Lincoln didn't want to go to war, but he knew saving the union required it. Franklin Roosevelt didn't want to go to war - but he knew defeating tyranny demanded it. And my husband didn't want to go to war, but he knew the safety and security of America and the world depended on it."
She knows the truth about Abraham Lincoln. I suppose y'all are going to make it a point to take care of that, what with all y'all in charge of the Republican Party 'n all.
Insofar as it is used as a title, yes. Indeed I do object. If you want to state that the GOP was the party - small p - to which Abraham Lincoln belonged that is fine. That is what Racicot did. But as far as this goofy "Party of Lincoln" concept goes, I prefer not to be involved in your fringe third party movements so I'll leave that one to you.
From her quote, which mentions FDR as well, I take it that you also think Mrs. Bush is a big government new dealer?
She didn't say her husband was a member of The Party Of Lincoln, any more than she said he was a member of The Party Of Roosevelt. She merely mentioned them. I suppose Hitlery probably mentioned them at some point in time. Does that make Slick Willie a member of The Party Of Lincoln?
