  1. Bleh. Not mine. Madison was far too divisive & downright nasty—even attacking Washington for his “moderation,” and cheering on even the worst excesses of bloodletting during the French Revolution…..It was only due to his lovely & diplomatic wife that his reputation hasn’t been even more tarnished….

  2. Madison may have been brilliant—but was a weasley, little back stabber— more responsible than any other founder for the violent breakdown of ‘politics by agreement” & for pit bull party politics….Additionally, his vociferous support for the frenzied bloodletting of the French Revolution is a stain that will always stick to him.
