From the looks of this, (unless they were adult Republicans prior to the Depression) the Democrats stand for peace and the Republicans for war. Note that the only Republican President to achieved "Star Power" bailed out of that party.

Guess that means no Republican has "Star Power" ... Republicans are all "B" Actors on the global stage who promote weapons build-ups and the killing of innocent people.

Now history tell us one thing -- Americans will turn their leadership to war and marginalize any President who stands for gets the Nobel Peace Prize. Of course, if we go by 1931, America gets a two-fer and some European or Asian nation will start a World War.
