John,
The Democrat party has historically been the War Party.
The defection of so-called neoconservatives from the Democrat party
(Scoop Jackson Democrats) into the Republican party has blurred that
distinction
such that warmongering has become a trans-partisan, even non-partisan
endeavour
if one limits the consideration to the 2 main parties.
Obviously an attitude of warmongering is supported by both mainstream
Democrats
and mainstream Republicans and those opposed to the war tend to be those
that are deviate from party lines such as Kucinich, Paul, and McKinney.
The
Constitutionalist Party and the Libertarian Party and the Green Party
are quite
solidly anti-war/non-interventionalist, whereas the one can find no such
salient
characteristic among Democrats nor Republicans.
