Abraham Lincoln?

Got me, but if you have to go back to the first Republican president, I'm not sure what that says about the current state of the Republican party.

To keep things on topic, George W. Bush twice vetoed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act that MJF supported and that might have helped create new treatments for Parkinson's and other diseases.

Not sure that is on topic for a Comic Con clip of two famous actors, but yes fuck George Bush for that. He set back research at least a decade.

Technically correct, but Lincoln was a liberal. The parties slowly flip-flopped over the course of several years after the civil war.

And after the Civil Rights Act of 1965 A bunch of the south flipped.

Lincoln was still kind of a pile of shit. He didn't set the slaves free because of the goodness in his heart after all.
