    And if you would like to know how that turned out for Hamilton (and Adams), here's a bit of history (watch for the repeat):

    http://www.presidentprofiles.com/Was...n-of-1800.html
    By now Hamilton was determined to end Adams' political career, regardless of the consequences to the Federalist party. He wrote, "If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." He urged Pickering to gather as he left office any material in the archives that could be used against Adams. From Wolcott he also sought "the facts which denote unfitness in Mr. Adams."

    In July, Hamilton abandoned his plans for military conquest and returned to his law practice. He advised his followers to manipulate the electoral votes in their states so that the Federalist vice presidential candidate, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, would receive more votes than Adams and thus be elected president. His final stroke in this campaign marked the conclusion of his decline from brilliant statesman to bungling, vindictive politician. Against the advice of his closest supporters, he wrote and printed the Letter . . . Concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams . Ostensibly prepared only for private circulation, the Letter somehow reached the press, and Hamilton then published it as a pamphlet. For nearly fifty pages, he reviewed the "great and intrinsic defects" in Adams that rendered him "unfit" for the presidency. The Letter had little apparent effect on the outcome of the election, and numerous replies from men of both parties applauded Adams' refusal to bend to the will of the former secretary.

    You know, another thing is that many the self described conservatives I've talked with in last year or so have no clue about the TPP nor do many of them give a s--- about what the TPP entails or that cruz supports it as well as voting yeh to give barry the TPA, the ability for barry to fast track his fundamental transformation of America, they think it is free trade, kind of like the sheeple of society believe the Patriot Act is somehow patriotic because a republican signed it.
