George Washington did not warn against the geography-based power base of any political parties, because there simply were no political parties in his day. The new United States was (as the name implies) a confederacy of geografically defined areas, so it would not even have been logical for him to be against a geography-based political system.
Today, the influence on geography on parties' power even gets bigger. Over the last years, the Republicans (mostly, whenever they got a majority in the Federal or State Congress) have sought to perpetuate their hold on States and Districts by a process called Gerrymandering. This is a process in which the geographical boundaries of voting districts are redrawn in such a way as to assure a majority of Republican voters. In a more distant past, Gerrymandering was practised by both parties, but now by all accounts it is the Republicans who are doing it nationwide today.

Which leader was against the formation of political parties?
George Washington spoke out against them in his farewell address.
Political parties unite or divide a country?
It's more of a personal opinion stated from whether you believe in states' rights or federal government. However, more conclusions lead to the division of a country such as the Civil War with the Bleeding Sumner incident, where one political party member (Republican Sumner) verbally attacked a Southern Democrat (Brooks) and Brooks beat Sumner cripple with a cane. This doesn't sound like a united country to me. They were meant to unite Americans, but in uniting, we have divided; now the majority of the population is concerned about what their party believes, not what is right or just. Personally, I'm not a fan, and I believe we should have listened to Washington's Farewell Address when he warned America to stay away from political parties.

What is the relationship of politics to other disciplines?
This question provides the opportunity to speak about politics to its relationship to political science. Often times the two terms are treated as the same thing, however, they are not. Politics involves, as one example, of the art involved to pass a controversial bill in the US Congress, when there seems that the chances are slim to do so. Politics also involves with an individual or political party take a stand on a particular public issue and running for elective office on that position in policy. And, running for public office and the election chances of a candidate is based on public opinion polls. Recently US President Obama warned Russian Federation President Putin not to invade the Crimea. Obama was making a political statement. Now, in comparison to the information stated above, political science, is a social study that involves political philosophy and how it may affect the political policies of a nation. Political Science also makes much of the study of a nation's government and how it functions. With that in mind, to say that an editorial in a newspaper endorsing a political candidate based on what the individual believes should be done to reduce the national debt, touches on, but does not encompass political science. Political science also involves the study of political systems of the past and the history of a certain type of government, the ancient Roman republic, as one example. This is not an area of politics, but rather an area of political history. And the philosophy behind the ancient Roman republic.
Who warned of the dangers of the military-industrial complex?
Major General Smedley Butler - Author of the book "War is a Racket" "WAR is a racket. It always has been. A few profit and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it out by resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war." -- Major General Smedley Butler, USMC - 1935 General Dwight David Eisenhower In his Farewell Address to the Nation on January 17, 1961, President Eisenhower said, "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."*** Comments that do not answer the question were moved to the discussion area. General Butler and President Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex, but it wasn't the root of the economic crisis of 2008. The root of the economic crisis of 2008 was an unregulated market in complex derivative securities.
