I wonder why so few Republicans have won the Nobel Peace Prize?

[johnaries]

For Dems, there were Obama, Gore, Carter, Cordell Hull, George C. Marshall, and Woodrow Wilson. The only Republicans I could find were Kissinger(!), Frank B. Kellogg (who?), and Teddy Roosevelt (who probably should have been a Democrat and was eventually kicked out by the Republicans).

So, why do you think so few Republicans have won the Nobel Peace Prize? :shrug:

Oh, yeah! Because it's a PEACE prize! :rofl:

2. Because so many of them suck ass...

...it's the only conclusion I can come up with.

8. And Teddy Roosevelt was,

well, a warmonger ... after all America needs a splendid little war every now and then. :shrug:

3. Woodrow Wilson was a racist and Kissinger was undeserving

4. Because they are dicks. :) nt

5. They're also not much on community.

Not really for all their talk. It's hard to win awards for what amounts to global community service if you don't serve. :)

11. The GOP Does Serve a Community

It just consists of religious and free-market fundys, xenophobes, and Neo-Confederates

13. You left out a community,

a gated one.

It was 3:30-3:45 in the morning!

15. I 'm going to a gated community today

to see my new great-nephew for the first time. My sister is a moderate, but my BIL is severely repug. I hope to escape without him saying something too stupid or racist.

17. Not really. They inflame their hatred. That's not serving them.

It's like supplying an addict. You're not serving them, you're helping them commit suicide.

6. of course!

Republicans all want war, can't we all just get along?

7. Welcome to DU!

[merh]

10. Haven't you heard?

Only socialists win the prize given by that bunch of crazy socialists.

:rofl:


I promise you, that is what they say.

12. Frank B. Kellogg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_B._Kellogg">Frank B. Kellogg.

Interesting guy. He was a Teddy Roosevelt appointee who, with Aristide Briand, crafted the Pact of Paris wherein France and the USA renounced warfare with each other and all future signatories. Read about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kellogg-Briand_Pact">here on Wikipedia.

What I'd give to have THOSE kinds of Republicans around again!

--d!

16. The prize is for the elite...

they do not qualify in general.
