Should I be a Republican?

I should be a Republican, because I support all the things Abraham Lincoln supported.

You don't support captialism.

You don't support captialism.

Neither did Lincoln.

Capitalism is a pox on the world.

I'm not going to touch that second statement, but Lincoln most certainly did support capitalism.  The Republican Party's platform in 1860 states that they support the development of the country's industrial interests and policies that favor commercial prosperity.

if anything it was the south which was anti-capitalist in the sense of opposing what they saw as the worst excesses of unrestrained capitalism

Slavery was an excess of unrestrained capitalism.

Hmm.....do you listen to yourself when you speak, or do you just repeat everything your parrot says?
