"The Party of Lincoln!"

[Gencor]

During this election season, there has been more talk than usual about the party of Lincoln and I was just wondering about what you are all thinking about these comments we are hearing. I am getting the impression that people didn't know hardly anything about the Party of Lincoln, or even Lincoln and that most of them never even understood why Lincoln was even elected to be our President. It's amazing to me how these people can run for public office and be so dumb about the country they claim to love and want to serve and it's history.

When I listen to many of the Republicans who keep referring to this, I am stunned at how they don't even understand what President Lincoln stood for or what his Presidency was really all about. If they want to claim the party of Lincoln, why don't they know more about it?

There is so much collective knowledge at this sight and I am honored to be able to come here and share my ideas and opinions and to learn from all of you. I just can't understand how people don't know their history, especially if the want to be of public service in the biggest job this country has to offer.

What amazes me even more, is the lack of education and the misunderstanding people have about President Lincoln and his leadership within his own party.

I grew up in politics and I find all of his to be very educational and interesting. I have been researching and studying a lot about Lincoln and his Presidency and right now, it seems far removed from their reference to it.

I would be interested to know if any of you have taken notice and what you might think.
