Hang separately. And in the federalist papers, James Madison argued that America United with a handful of troops or without a single soldier exhibits a more forbidding posture in foreign ambitions that america at this united with of hundred thousand veterans ready for combat. President washington stressed the importance of National Unity in his farewell address and one best against Interest Groups and internal rivalries. Now, to be sure, we have had plenty of moments of partisan combat in our past, including some that make our current cable news squabbles sound downright polite. We even had to fight a civil war to prevent the union from splitting apart. Yet even in our darkest time we have been blessed with leaders who put our nation first, about personal or partisan advantage. President lincoln, a republican, but to seven democrat commander johnson, to be his running mate. He also asked his rival to be his secretary of state. Imagine that. And then there is another great political odd
The extremists will remain extreme and come back to haunt you. An old activist once told me, dont invest in those that carry mess, not if you really have a message. The tea party is going to remind some republicans of that. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton. Hardball starts right now. The clintons are in the ring. Lets play hardball. Good evening, im Chris Matthews in washington. Lets start with the best fight in the country, the clintons versus karl rove.
