We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party.

Women are the only people I am afraid of who I never thought would hurt me

The Republican Party, which John McCain led as our nominee in 2008, is going to become irrelevant if we become the party of intolerance and hate. The party founded by Abraham Lincoln was a party that fought slavery and intolerance at every level.

If I have to be typecast, I'd like it to be as Abraham Lincoln.

Yes, President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, but a hundred years later, the Republican Party wasn't Lincoln's. Richard Nixon became president by courting Americans upset by integration, intentionally fueling the racial divide.

We've changed in the sense that we flipped - and this is no longer the Republican party of Lincoln. This is the party of suppression.
