Lincoln was the first Republican President.

 

[2ndAmendment]

Lincoln was the first Republican President.

The modern Republican Party was born on March 20, 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin as an outgrowth of the dissolved Whig party, choosing the name to recall to mind the founders; no matter that the aims were now different.

That is why I keep saying it may be time for supporting in grand scale a new party like the Consitution Party. As John Q. Adams said:

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) US President (1825-29)

No offense to Snopes, but all they said was that there was no record of el 'cracko saying those things, and those kinds of comments generally wouldn't have been reported by the Washington press at that time. Those statements just seem too off-the-cuff to me and just don't read like someone sitting at a computer making up stupid stuff to say. I'm thinking they are things that Berry said to people that were just never documented in the press, which is what Snopes uses as a reference.

And don't forget that Eleanor Holmes-Norton and her husband were found to have not payed their federal income taxes. (No more "Taxation Without Representation" for this biatch)
