Eric, "War usually inflates and as many dem candidates have been war prexies as repubs." Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, got us into WWI. We entered WWII under a Democrat. Another Democrat entered us in the Korean War. Vietnam began under a Democrat and was escalated by another. During the Clinton (Democrat) years, the U.S. went to war against a number of very tiny counties, including Serbia. Serbia to that point was the most loyal ally of the U.S. in Southern Europe, and Clinton bombed them under the pretext of a genocide that since has been shown to have been a fraud. Maybe I'm forgetting a small war or two, but it looks to me as if GW is the first Republican president to get the U.S. into war since William McKinley was president and we entered the Spanish American War back in 1898. Even so, McKinley is not to blame for entering us in that conflict. Congress got it's way there over McKinley's objections. The evidence seemingly tells us that Republicans like to spend money on defense, but Democrats are more likely to exercise military muscle.
