The principal is the same, transferring past blame due to an association in the present.


yes, that is exactly the same. blaming the democrats 40-50 years after desegregation and the movement of southern democrats to the republican party is the same as blaming a party (who's leadership has not changed) for what happened less than 4 years ago.

what a load of crap. while bush and cheney are laying low, the republican party and the romney campaign is loaded with the same neo-cons who lied to get us into iraq and are desperate to go into iran. didn't condi rice speak at the convention? romney has tons of ex-bushies as foreign policy advisors.
