Kathy, not only was President John Tyler burned in effigy in front of
the White House by his own Whig Party, but the whole affair was organized
by Henry Clay, Speaker of the House. They threw Tyler out of their
corrupt, mercantilist, rent-seekers party whose platform was political
plunder and nothing else. Corporate welfare financed by
protectionist tariffs and a central bank was their only real
concern. This is one reason why Ivan Eland ranked Tyler as the best
president in American history in his book, Recarving Rushmore.
