    PolarPlot[{4/(2+Cos[t]), 4 Cos[t]-2},{t, 0, 2 Pi}, 
      PlotStyle -> {{AbsoluteThickness[2], 
            RGBColor[1, 0, 0]}, {AbsoluteThickness[2], RGBColor[0, 0, 1]}}],

For log plots you will probably have to do this manually such as

DisplayTogether[
    PolarPlot[{4/(2+Cos[t]), 4 Cos[t]-2},{t,0,2 Pi}, 
      PlotStyle -> {{AbsoluteThickness[2], 
            RGBColor[1, 0, 0]}, {AbsoluteThickness[2], RGBColor[0, 0, 1]}}], 
    PolarPlot[Evaluate[Table[r, {r, 1, 7}]], {t, 0, 2Pi}], 
    Prolog -> Table[
        Line[7*{{-Cos[t], -Sin[t]}, {Cos[t], Sin[t]}}], {t, 0, Pi, Pi/6}], 
    Frame -> True, PlotRange -> 1.03*{{-4, 6}, {-4, 4}}];
