What did you expect him to say about slavery in a race for the Illinois legislature, at age 24, given that Illinois was a free state? That's like looking for comments on our relationship with China in a campaign speech for the city council.
...my point was that I didn't understand why the internal search on that website even pulled that speech as a result given the parameters I had set. Now do you understand?
And that you have eagerly adopted his recourse to the yelp of "ad hominem" rather than do so.
So why don't you take one more diversionary pot shot at me and then we'll let the matter rest.
Of, if you prefer, please tell me if you think that Lincoln's words on the Bank decision in the Dred Scott speech reveal a focus on economic policy, or slavery.
