The war dead over the last four years in Afghanistan have outnumbered those under Chimpola....That is a fact....Drone attacks in Pakistan, interventions in Libya, Egypt, etcetera....I'm not a republican...I recognize no difference in substance between them and the democrats...The warmongering interventionist neocon republicans of the last three decades have underscored the veracity of my observation.Does the modern incarnation of the Republican Party remind you of Reagan's or Ike's Republican Party? That's like claiming the Democratic Party is the more racist party when the Republicans have done nothing but cozy up to white supremacists and insane religious people in the last couple of decades. We're talking about the present, not history.
Now, answer the question....Has your party any claim whatsoever to being the party of peace?
I don't know, I don't have a party but if you're speaking about the Democratic party they have effectively ended the conflict in Iraqi and have pulled half our forces out of Afghanistan with the rest scheduled to leave in 2014. Whereas the Republicans had no tangible plans for removal of forces from Afghanistan and seemed to be interested in expanding the wars in the middle east. This is also a major reason why Obama was re-elected, so yes the Democrats are more the party of peace than the Republicans.
And did you just say the neo-con wars of the last three decades are the exceptions that prove the rule? That's idiotic.
Bubba Clintoon's foreign policy was not in any way discernible form that of his neocon predecessor.
Carter changed exactly zero, insofar as American global military hegemony is concerned.
You can retrace the time line of the last century from there.
There's absolutely no difference between the dems and the neocon republicans....That's the fact, Jack.
