“Money For Nuthin’ & Your Chicks For Free”-My Tour of the RNC

Tampa FL - Warned John Taylor in his "Inquiry Into The Principles of the Gov't of the United States" "[The powerful Executive branch]...converts representation into vassalage to the leaders of parties, disciplined, not by the comparatively honourable infliction of the lash, but by the base and wicked sophism, that it is honourable to stick to a party, and treacherous to adhere to conscience.
