If Abraham Lincoln was alive today, I think it’s fair to say could all agree on one thing:
It would be really creepy.
I also think he would have a lot to say about the current state of American politics, and how the once noble pursuit of the presidency has become more like “The Amazing Race.”
But without the “amazing” part.
Given the chance, I believe President Lincoln would amend his famous quote to something more like this…
Ned's Blog 
Apart from being a volunteer firefighter, did you ever consider becoming a volunteer president on the side? You seem to grasp politics.
I never thought about that. Just think of the money we’d save in plateware alone, when I change to Solo cups and paper plates!
If I was any more American than I am, you’d have my vote.
If you were any more American, you might be living in Canada 😉
I actually used to. Canadian politics are nowhere near as entertaining as American, though;)
Rob Ford was a really good try, though.
I think you could have a considerable voting base here in Canada Ned. If Ted Cruz can run for president – having been born in Canada – then surely we Canadians can be allowed to vote for an American President – you.
I’m already planning on Molson’s and poutine for the inaugural dinner, with Tim Horton’s Donuts for dessert.
Ha! You know all the right tings to say – you are a shoo in up here.
Hello…. Number One Groupie now reporting for duty as Number One Campaign Manager…
I’ll work for syrup. Let’s start west to east – by the time we get to syrup country it should be warm enough to tap those trees.
As long as you stick with me through syrup country.
Like flies to … uh, ..syrup.
Lol! Deal 😉
I think the original quote still applies: in “all the people some of the time” every four years does mean “some of the time”.
Lol! Good point!
Oh lord. I don’t envy the choices (lack of choices?) you folks face.
Yes, “lack” is the key word. Ugh.
If Lincoln were alive to see this pool of candidates, he’d kill himself this time.
Hahahaha!
I am pretty sure there would be a new version of the Emancipation Proclamation.
No doubt.
The Constipation Proclamation
You blocked me with that one.
The Preparation of H-independence?
NO DOUBT! I don’t know a single person who has voted for Donald Trump, yet he keeps winning?? How is that possible?
How is Donald Trump even possible?
I ask that question every day!!!! *groan*
Even Caligula would be appalled at this year’s batch of candidates.
HaHaHa!
Wait, now I’m a little sick to my stomach thinking of Donald, Hillary, Bernie and Ted in a “Caligula.”
*shiver*
Why aren’t you in politics, Ned?
Because I have a soul.
Good reason.
