"Repug" doesn't always mean "Republican" (although in the modern sense it probably does). Party ideaologies change over times -- let's not forget that the Democratic Party of the early part of the 20th century is not one that we would be proud of. So, no, while Lincoln and TR were Republicans, the name had a different meaning then.

Todays Republicans, for the most part, *are* REPUGS. There may be one or two exceptions, but I doubt it.

Zell Miller, while a DEMOCRAT, is one in name only. For all practical purposes, he's a Repug. The same could be said for most conservative Dems.

And lastly, the 1980 and 84 elections (as well as 88, 2000 and 2004) *were* stolen. I refuse to believe that anyone (outside of most Repugs who are so stupid that they just follow orders from the top without thinking for themselves) could be stupid enough to vote for Reagan.
