If Lincoln were alive today, the GOP would ridicule him as a liberal. And he'd be racing to change his affiliation.

If Lincoln were alive today, he’d definitely be a Democrat. He’d also be really, really old… and probably smell bad. Plus, people would make fun of him because of his hat.

If Lincoln were alive today, he might ask McCain to run with him on the GOP ticket. Both are men of courage. Both are willing to tell the truth and take unpopular positions. Let's face it, Lincoln's anti-slavery position did not sit too well with ALL Americans, now did it?
McCAIN FOR PRESIDENT!

Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, carried out capital punishment for anyone convicted of treason or sedition, and fought a brutal war that placed principles over political expediency.
If Lincoln were alive today he'd be a Republican and John McCain would try to score points with the media by disagreeing with him at every turn.

Is Cristi going to endorse Rudy already or what? They're both liberal Republicans and they both want a cat fund. I wonder what's Cristi's price is?

I doubt Lincon and McCain would see things too differently. But clearly, we will never know.
But since numbers don't lie, we DO know that according to the polls. McCain is the only Republican who can beat either top Dem.

If Lincoln were alive today, McCain would call him a young whippersnapper!

McCain couldn't beat an egg. Get a grip for Heaven's sake.

Watch, if Marco thiinks McCain will win, he will switch his support for him. He started out with Romney, when it didn't look so good, he went with Huckabee. Now, Huckabee is floundering... You watch, soon he will be with McCain.

So... what you're saying is that Marco "The Rube" is a ... well... Rube.
Posted by: | January 22, 2008 at 04:21 PM
What, Marco makes his decisions based on the polls? Wow, that kinds sounds like Cristi.

4:11 actually he hinted he would be with Romney, then Thompson, THEN Huckabee...and if he does switch...who cares? No one knows who he is...no one cares....

I dont trust Romney. I think McCain is the only Republican who is at least somewhat honest.
