Aside from the obvious dangers of claiming long gone historical figures as allies in your political arguments, you may wish to use greater scrutiny in developing your list.
As you are probably aware, I could care less for Lincoln, personally and politically. I take strong issue with his Clintonesque political maneuvering, his centralizing power grabs, and the fact that he sided with Mexican dictator Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana on the matter of the Texas boarder dispute. He's all yours and I'm not going to stop you from embracing him...though you should not be surprised if you find me observing such an act of sillyness in great laughter.
And by all means, take Locke as your own as well. Follow him out to his philosophical ends and discover, albeit the hard way, what "wonders" in this world have been wrought by empiricism, which i'll gladly cede to you in good riddance as well.
John Quincy's an interesting and learned character, but IMHO too much of a boorish yankee to merit a place of equal stature along side his more colorful political associates during the same time period.
Madison's the only exception in that group you named, and that mostly out of respect for a complex individual with a political philosophy far more complex than anything you give him credit for. So have at it!
Thanks, I will, following Jefferson.
You show your tue colors, and that is a good thing.
