  Would you vote for Lincoln knowing he didn't believe that a black man should be able to vote?

  i am sorry you would not vote to stop the extension of slavery, what a horrendous stand to take. While not supporting the candidate who showed that he was willing to alter his core beliefs to support greater tolerance. so that he would be the first president to support suffrage to black veterand

  At least you finally understand the consistency of my post. I do not vote for candidates that do not believe a black person should vote.

  Maybe the Black man vote should only count as 3/5th of a vote. Then the GOP might win this time around.:laugh:

  It's starting to look like 5/3 might be more helpful.

  If Obama wants to motivate all the poor/welfare voters to come out for him, maybe he should tie benefits to voting. Maybe Romney made fun of some handicapped kid in highschool and Obama can rally those voters, too.

  you would have aided those who wanted to spread slavery.

  I thought we have already made those respective points. I wouldn't not have voted in that election based on the fact that I would not vote for a candidate that doesn't believe a black man should vote. Your conclusion has been duly noted.

  As I said in 2012 I would not vote for any candidate who would not support black suffrage. And you in 1860 would have refused to vote for the only candidate who opposed the expansion of slavery and there by would have contributed to the extension of human suffering.

  Don't forget the women...their vote should only count as 1/12 of a vote.

  That's problematic, since Mittens is up 3 points with them.

  I didn't ask about complete black suffrage support and I am aware of what I would refuse to vote for,

  He will literally never answer that question con. You might as well stop.
• Con_Alma

  Probably not but that's the point. You're right ...I will have to eventually.
  
  It's his same type of attempted entrapment.

  That's not the question. I've never mentioned President Washington nor President Lincoln. I am not asking you about them. Those were your reference people and examples.

  i answered that and you answered that you would not vote for Washington or lincoln.

  There's not one post with such an answer from you. All of your responses have changed criteria. My question is much more simple and less conditional.

  during the time of my existence i would have voted only for candidates who supported black suffrage. While you have extended your vote to periods preceding your existence to state you would have not voted for lincoln and by doing so aided the forces wishing to extend slavery.

  isadore, you are trying to argue a point by using Abraham Lincoln. A different time, a different world, and the dude has been dead for ages. You, at that time, would've most definitely been in favor of slavery. So shut the fuck up about this retarded argument. Use something that is relevant to today.

  1. If you read the thread you would understand why I selected Lincoln, Con feels it is wrong for people to change their core beliefs. Lincoln is a man who did and that change helped improve our society.
  2. Because of Con’s view he has stated he has stated he would not have voted for Lincoln in 1860, even though that action would have aided those who wished to extend slavery into new territory.
  3. No I wouldn’t have been for slavery. It is bad.

  This is not. true. It is not for me to decide if it's worn or not wrong for a person to changes their beliefs. What I have stated is I that would prefer a person who is steadfast in their core convictions.

  We all make mistakes in our statements. I do especially if I have had a couple of beers. Are you drinking in the mornings again?
