Mitt Romney and Abraham Lincoln
- “I subscribe in some respects to what Abraham Lincoln said in -- well, it goes to the Lyceum Address when, at age 28, he said, you know what, in America there is something called the political religion. It’s our adherence to the laws of the land, to our oath of office.”
ROMNEY: "You know, I'm never going to get into a discussion about my personal beliefs and about particular doctrines of my church, and so forth. I'm very proud of my church. It was the church of my father, and his father, and his father before him.
But what I can say is this. And I go back to a speech that Abraham Lincoln made when he was 28 years old, the Lyceum Address, when he said that America has a political religion and that people who are elected to office subscribe to this political religion, which is to place the oath of office, an oath to abide by a nation of laws and the Constitution, above all others."

Abraham Lincoln was our best, president.
Reasons to agree
- From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some transatlantic giant step the earth and crush us with a blow? No never all the armies of Europe and Asia could not by force take a sip from the Ohio river or make a track on the blue ridge mountains. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we will live forever or die by suicide.
Reasons to disagree
- Washington was better than Lincoln
