And yeah... he was pretty much dead set against setting up a government that had no declaration of Rights in it. Without it, he was firmly against the Constitution.

He wanted the Constitution amended, he was not against the Constitution itself. Pretty much every supporter of the Constitution had their own ideas of how it could or should be improved.

The Anti-Federalists were opposed to any Constitution, amended or unamended. Characterizing Jefferson as an Anti-Federalist is simply disingenuous.

you agree he was against it because of the original lack of a BoR

Again, he was not against it. He wanted an enhanced Constitution, not no Constitution.

Lame. Just lame...

Saith the cut-and-paster.

Yeah... the guy who wrote the Declaration of Independence wanted to set up an all powerful National government.

You are a moron...

I believe there is a difference between Anti-Federalists and those who have anti-federalist views. Certainly it can be said that Jefferson was anti-federalist in many aspects, while not necessarily being an Anti-Federalist.
