It seems to me that of all the founding fathers George Washington is yhe only one who's myth lines up with the reality. That's not to say these guys weren't great men, but John Adams who's favorite form of conversation was tha argument(He would of made a great Freeper, if he could keep from being banned), Ben Franklin who how shall I put this....liked the ladies A LOT, Jefferson, cold two faced, REALLY ambitious, Hamilton had...issues with his bastardy.

And thank God we had them!
