There were no Republicans in 1812.

Yes, anyone who has ever studied American history seriously at all knows that today's Republican Party was founded c. 1854.

As the article points out, Villaraigosa's remarks are just plain stupid. We don't call them Dummycrats without reason.

I was just thinking why he would pick the year 1812 to associate with the current GOP platform. The most immediate event that comes to mind from that year is the War of 1812 against the British. If you want to think about a modern-day war with the UK, think Obama and his return of the Churchill bust and his "dissing" of the Queen - certainly more anti-Brit than anything in the GOP platform! Of course, Obama still has a chip on his shoulder against the Brits stemming from his identification with his Kenyan heritage.
