If you don't like war, you are less likely to get one with a Repub in office.

Got a source for that claim? |
World War I--Woodrow Wilson, Democrat
World War II--Franklin Roosevelt, Democrat
Korea--Harry Truman,Democrat
Vietnam--John Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson,Democrat/Democrat
Somalian Debacle--William Clinton,Democrat
Kosovo--Bill Clinton, Democrat
You can do the math on the casualties, although casualties is not the subject
Granada--Ronald Reagan, Republican
The Noriega Caper--Ronald Reagan, Republican
Gulf War I--George Bush the Senior, Republican sort of
Gulf War II--George W Bush, Republican in name only
We lost more men in one day at Tarawa than all the Republican wars combined.
In fairness, the Democratic party before Lyndon Johnson would all be Republicans today. Kennedy, for example, was the first president to preach and use supply side economics. I remember my Republican parents being totally opposed to Kennedy's tax cut that resulted in an unprecedented surge of prosperity for the country. All Reagan did was copy Kennedy's great economic comprehension.
But as far as the OP is concerned, there will be no President McCain. He failed in communicating his ideas in a compelling way. It isn't enough to believe the right things. If you can't lead or can't communicate the right ideas in a way that compels people to adopt them, other ideas will win. McCain had several softballs float right over the plate during the last debate, a couple of them tossed by Obama and he didn't even swing at them. I'm voting for him but he deserves to lose. Too bad Obama doesn't deserve to win.
