Forums - Politics - My opinion of the candidates expressed through Abraham Lincoln quotes!

Obama

Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.

Obama is one of us after all

You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time.

Libya

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

Obama has been given power, and shown how he would govern

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

Obama has tried lay at some of the facts to the people, so I give this one to Obama

Romney

If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

lol, because he is mormon

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?

multiple choice mitt

No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar.

Mitt is a very poor liar

There has never been but one question in all civilization-how to keep a few men from saying to many men: You work and earn bread and we will eat it.

Representative of Romneys principles

Romney is rich, and wants to encourage others to be as well

Both

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

they are both too vague on their plans for their term, especially on the deficit.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

the problem with presidential politics, it is all about who has the least amount of vices instead of who has the most virtues. 



Around the Network

Feel free to post your opinions of my post, or even better if you would post what you think of the candidates using some random quotes!



Not a big Lincoln guy.

Though as far as other presidential quotes go.


" If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month."

"A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues."

"We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all."
