Who is this Arkansas Bozo speaking now? Abraham Lincoln founded the Republican Party???
BTW - The GOPers are always boasting that Lincoln was one of them... how come the GOP didn't support Lincoln in his re-election campaign?
They did, but the "National Union Party" was a scheme to combine both Republican and Northern pro-war Democrats under the same tent, thus why Johnson was Lincoln's VP for '64.
And no, Lincoln didn't form the GOP. I'm sure the real founders of the 1850s, a criss-cross of anti-slavery disgruntled Whig/Democrats before Whig Lincoln discovered and join them would not be pleased with that statement.
