Official republican position - Lincoln was our nation's greatest leader

This is the official position of today's republicans.

From the 2004 GOP Platform: (It has not been changed)

"One hundred and fifty years ago, Americans who had gathered to protest the expansion of slavery gave birth to a political Party that would save the Union - the Republican Party.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois carried the Republican banner in the Presidential election and was elected the Party's first President. He became our nation's greatest leader â€¦ and one of our Party's greatest heroes. "
