[Wlat] You attempt to besmirch what they found laudable -- I mean President Lincoln -was- re-elected in a landslide, after all.

I see your point. This proves he is in good company.

You make my points for me. Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment. Can you say the same for President Lincoln?

Thing about Lincoln and Nixon was that Lincoln did all this out in the open. There was a "boisterous discussion" of civil liberties in the North, to quote Dr. mark Neely. The Watergate scandal didn't break until after the election. Are you just trying to look a fool?
