LiberalFighter, in your two sign-off quotes, is that first one really an 1814 quote from Thomas Jefferson? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Republican Party didn't exist in 1814. The first Republican presidential nominee was John C. Fremont in 1856, and Abraham Lincoln was the second in 1860. Was there another party in 1814 that was also called the Republican Party?
