 Subject: [FairfieldLife] Best line of the campaign...
 
 
 
 ...sums up Barack Obama's candidacy quite nicely, I think:
 
 I'll have no truck with the phony case ginned up to rationalize 
voting 
 for the most liberal and inexperienced presidential nominee in 
living 
 memory.

 Sums up Lincoln's candidacy nicely too. He did OK.

But, Rick, Abraham Lincoln initiated the Civil War...and as any 
school child can tell you, over 600,000 Americans died in the Civil 
War. 

Certainly, you are not advocating that war is good, are you? 'Cause 
if you are, you're at odds with 90% of the Obama supporters on this 
forum who have made it clear time and time and time again that war 
under ANY circumstances is unacceptable; that killing under any 
circumstances is unacceptable.

Killing is a sin -- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Without getting into the specifics of Lincoln's presidency, he is generally
regarded as having been one of our greatest presidents, if not the greatest.
Yet he had a pretty limited political career before taking office. Personal
qualifications are more important than experience. There are plenty of bozos
who've been in government for decades. It seems that if the times are
critical and president possesses the right blend of intelligence,
temperament, and other such qualities, he achieves greatness. I think we're
about to see that happen.

The last poll casual pole I took amongst townspeople in FF was that Obama
would suffer the same fate as Lincoln, only a whole lot sooner.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
