Voting Clay/Sergeant mostly for Sergeant, who I'd never heard of before. Clay is a bastard but a pragmatic one who probably would have been a decent president (and certainly better than King Andrew).

If we could elect Clay and then ensure the thread title comes true to make Sargeant the President, I'd be all for that. Lacking that, I'll vote Anti-Masonic. Those two guys look like the least bad of the bunch.

Sure he's running as an outsider, but I only see another AMINO (Anti Mason In Name Only) looking for a quick buck. Has Wirt ever publicly identified Jackson, Adams, Calhoun, Van Buren (who we all know is a covert Dutchman ineligible for office) as masons like I have? Has he ever denounced them for their naked support of the murder of William Morgan? He's no Solomon Southwick, I'll tell you what.

I will not be voting in this election for the following three reasons: 1) Indians were forced to live far away from anywhere that matters 2) Indian men wouldn't have been able to vote anyways 3) I died in the Trail of Tears Don't vote for Jackson. Vote for Wirt.

Corek posted:Is this guy even a real person? He's a historical footnote of a historical footnote, but he does exist. The American Economy: A Historical Encyclopedia, Volume I posted:Author of the influential “Boston report,” which challenged the ideas that the government should protect manufactures and that protective duties result in lowering prices. Born in Beverly, Massachusetts, on February 4, 1782, Henry Lee dropped out of college early to enter business. He traveled to Calcutta in 1811 and, because of the War of 1812, he decided to remain in India, where he made trading acquaintances. A student of political economy, Lee opposed some of the viewpoints held by supporters of the American System, which called for a national bank, protective tariffs, and government funding of internal improvements such as roads and canals. He also wrote for Condy Raguet’s Free-Trade Advocate, a Philadelphia publication. In the 1820s, Lee turned his attention to the tariff—an issue that was very compelling in New England. Woolen manufacturers there supported protectionist tariffs because they faced strong competition from overseas. Merchants and traders who opposed these protectionist tariffs, fearing they would hinder trading relationships with foreign countries, chose Henry Lee to write the 200-word document Report of the Committee of the Citizens of Boston and Vicinity, Opposed to a Further Increase of Duties on Importations, sometimes called the “Boston report.” First printed in 1827, it had four printings and was singled out by historian Edward Stanwood, who said in his American Tariff Controversies in the Nineteenth Century that “no more powerful document was ever produced in this country.” The report challenged the ideas that the government should protect manufactures and that protective duties result in lowering prices, among other ideas. It also discounted the belief that the British government had suddenly altered its system of duties after the United States passed its tariff of 1824, thus undercutting American prices. Lee pointed out that the British had begun petitioning for this change in 1820 and passed legislation that lowered the tariff before they could even have heard of the American bill.

Carrasco posted:This claim is so baseless, it's acidic! I will not stand for this kind of left-handed insult. The AMINO question is essential to building our body politic. In this very thread you see accusations that we are merely a synthetic group of reactionaries, propped up by the very same Masons that are behind the dissolution of our still young country. If we are to succeed, we need someone who can form bonds. Someone with pep. The tides of this battle can yet be turned, but I don't know if this is the man to do it. lysine
