Republicans outraged Obama usurped their 'Daddy party' throne

19. "Not as bad"

You're presenting the "not as bad" argument. The dems "aren't as bad" in their militaristic choices as are the GOP. We seek the same goals, but the GOP is worse at achieving them. Which avoids the entire argument about whether they should be pursued in the first place, not just how they should be pursued.

The original article explained that Romney was having difficulty in differentiating himself from Obama on specifics about national defense. If the priorities were as sharp as you suggest, he'd be able to articulate a position. But they aren't. He'll be firmer with Iran, he'll listen to the generals on Syria (as if Obama doesn't), he'll be tougher with N. Korea, he'll pressure China "harder". These aren't "differences" they are "degrees". 'Course, one can't blame him because about his only other choice at this point is to go to the left of Obama without sounding like Ron Paul.
