The Orginal GW on Political Parties

In George Washington's farewell address he said the following.

"It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....against another....it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."

Crazy how 200 years ago he knew what would happen.
