Public Choice

…in national security:

Assume that Democrats know that Republicans will generally support them when Democrats are in the White House and taking tough national security positions. But the Democrats also send unmistakeable signals to the electorate that, if they are pushed out of power, they will undermine a Republican administration trying to do exactly the same, and taking exactly the same actions. Their support is not reciprocal even when the action is the same.

It should be abundantly clear by now to any objective observer that most of the fulmination against George Bush by the Democrats was nothing but convenient posturing.
