Again with this crap? What about all the weird stuff James K. Polk pulled? Surely, we haven’t addressed those points enough.

A recall a Republican politician getting into trouble for calling WWII a "Democrat war."

Still, since the Obama administration and its lackeys in the media call the war in Iraq "Bush's war..." let's look at the record.

War of 1812--started by James Madison, Democrat.
Mexican War--started by James K. Polk, Democrat.
Civil War--started by Jefferson Davis, Democrat.
WWI--started by Woodrow Wilson, Democrat.
WWII--I'll give FDR a pass because the enemy declared war on us first.
Korean War--Harry S. Truman, Democrat.
Vietnam War--LBJ, Democrat.

On the other side:

Spanish-American War, William McKinley, Republican
Gulf War--George H. W. Bush, Repubican
Afghanistan War--George W. Bush, Republican
Iraq War--George W. Bush, Republican.

In Truman's war alone more American died than in all the wars started under Republican Presidents.
