You know it’s true. They can start with tough talk but as soon as it requires any kind of perserverence, courage, or backbone, they will begin to denigrate and lie about why they voted for military action, or why it was necessary. There is no follow through. There is no committment.

They will deny what they said and reverse course in an instant. That’s bad enough but they will blame everyone else as well. Sen. Rockefeller did precisely that.
