The Republican position

Despite not having any say in the matter it's difficult to avoid what's going on in terms of the run-up to the American Presidential Election. Listening to some of the stuff that the Republican nominee Mitt Romney; his running mate Paul Ryan; and various speakers have been saying, particularly with regard to the current tantrums being demonstrated by a minority of Muslims, I have built up a rough picture of their position:

Democratic nation-building under Bush = Good
Democratic nation-building under Obama =Bad;

Violence while nation-building under Bush = Good
Violence while nation-building under Obama = Bad;

Using Air Force One for personal and electioneering purposes by Bush = Good
Using Air Force One for personal and electioneering purposes by Obama = Bad;

Publicity stunt using low-flying plane in New York by Bush = Good
Publicity stunt using low-flying plane in New York by Obama = Bad

Changes to Medical Insurance proposed by Romney = Good
Exact same changes to Medical Insurance proposed by Obama = Bad;

Electing Harvard graduated lawyer Romney as President = Good
Electing Harvard graduated lawyer Obama as President = Bad;

Failing businesses under Bush = your fault
Failing businesses under Obama = government's fault

Succeeding businesses under Bush = government responsible
Succeeding businesses under Obama = you're responsible;

Almost makes our political parties look mature... almost.
