Alexander Hamilton to James Madison, May 19, 1788… on Clinton.

[Rooster BoosterParticipant 45]

“The language of the Antifœderalists is that if all the other states adopt, New York ought still to hold out. I have the most direct intelligence, but in a manner, which forbids a public use being made of it, that Clinton has in several conversations declared his opinion of the inutility of the union. Tis an unhappy reflection, that the friends to it should by quarrelling for straws among themselves promote the designs of its adversaries.”

…Who is this Clinton? Sounds like 18th century astroturfing…

I originally read this in the Book:
“The Origins of the American Constitution”

Alexander Hamilton was p~~~ed off that the way the other Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they could be President, but he could not because of where he was born. This combination of anger and envy eventually lead to him being killed in a duel.

lol astroturfing? really?

This man was a heavy hitter in colonial politics…lol This family of Clintons helped shape the new republic. Total opposite to how the Arkansas Clintons operate.

The former helped to build this nation, and the latter rapes it.

Don't chase tail. Turn yours around, walk away, and live free!
