What Would Abraham Lincoln Say About Canceling a Presidential Election?
A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION Dear BuzzFlash: As far as I am concerned, anyone in this administration who makes plans for canceling a Constitutionally mandated presidential election for any reason is treasonous and in gross violation of their oath of office. Period. This country has been through a number of wars including the Cold War, where thousands of nuclear warheads were trained on our cities, deliverable in half an hour. We have never before foreseen the need to plan for canceling a federal election. There is no need now, no matter what “terrorists” might do. The good people of this great country will hold Bush accountable for his record in just a few months, so help us God. BuzzFlash readers may be interested to read what a real president, Abraham Lincoln, had to say about the 1864 election which took place during the Civil War, by far the bloodiest conflict our country has endured.
