		<description>#74: muckdog:

&lt;i&gt;Lincoln was extremely [un]popular. Your citing of the 1864 election is hillarious.

The Southern states werenâ€™t allowed to vote in the 1864 election, morons.

â€œThe election of 1864 was conducted during the Civil War, and as such, none of the states which made up the Confederate states participated.â€&lt;/i&gt;

&quot;Hillarious&quot;, eh?  Home-skooled, perchance?

But &lt;b&gt;I&#039;d&lt;/b&gt; point out that -- &lt;b&gt;in the South&lt;/b&gt; -- a large part of the population &quot;weren&#039;t allowed to vote&quot;, period.  So how you can claim Lincoln was unpopular based on your unsupported bald assertion as to Southern sentiment is beyond me.

Cheers,</description>

		<description>Lincoln won the Civil war and did it in less time than Bush has been trying to catch ONE PERSON.

Bush has lost every war he&#039;s started  - even the wrong one (no WMD in Iraq) he started thinking it was some sort of slam dunk Mission Accomplished.  And let&#039;s not split hairs on that - somebody else is going to have to win them so he LOST them.

And as if we have to ask - where is Osama Bin Laden?

Bush and Lincoln - good freaking luck with that!</description>

		<description>56. RUCerious, 57. Belac - Barbara Bush&#039;s maiden name was Pierce.  Direct descendant of President Pierce - the only sitting president to be denied re-nomination by his own party. - 

You can look up Babs in wikipedia and follow the pedigree back.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Lincoln, Truman, and Bush.

Three Presidents who were hated during their time in office, but two were and one will be adored and admired later.

Try Buchanan, Hoover and Bush.

Three presidents who were ridiculed during their time in office, and whose missteps led to disasters of historical proportions for the nation.</description>

		<description>As wartime presidents, Lincoln and Bush could hardly be more different.  Bush seeks sycophancy from his generals.  Lincoln sought results.  Bush doesn&#039;t appear to give a damn about results as long as he can maximize whatever political options there are.</description>

		<description>Lincoln was called just about every name imaginable in the press of his day, including: A â€˜grotesque baboonâ€™, a â€˜third-rate country lawyer who once split rails and now splits the Unionâ€™, a â€˜coarse, vulgar jokerâ€™, a dictator, an ape, and a buffoon. The Illinois State Register [published in his adopted home state] labeled him â€œthe craftiest and most dishonest politician that ever disgraced an [American political] office.â€

And now, he has been outdone by Bush, about whom all of the above things have also been written, accurately. The difference is, of course, that Bush will be seen the same way 100 years from now, because those statements about him are true, and based on daily occurrences. Bush will never be looked upon as a hero, or a saviour of democracy; nothing but a loser, a spoiled fratboy, a deserter, a coward, and an imbecile, taking his rightful place beside Hitler, Pol Pot, John Wayne Gacy, and other despicable monsters.</description>
