"Hoist Upon Their Own Petard"

Captain's Quarters:

After watching [the Democrats] slowly tip over the edge in the past month, openly calling for a recognition of defeat in Iraq and an immediate evacuation of troops from the region, the Republicans have opened up on Democratic Party leaders such as their chairman, their Congressional leadership, and their last Presidential nominee for their vacillating and pusillanimous responses. I covered most of this recent history in my last Daily Standard column, "Rally Round The (White) Flag, Boys!"

For their part, the Democrats loudly responded that they have been quoted out of context. Drudge now reports that the Republicans intend on fixing that problem with a few web ads, using the actual recorded statements of each to show the nation that the Democrats have given in to defeatism:

Quoth a Democratic strategist: “This is way over the top but we have no one to blame but Dean, Kerry and others who continue to pander to the anti-war activists within our party.”  I wouldn’t hold your breath on it stopping any time soon, either.

I'm confused. Are the Dems "vaccilating" or are they "[not] stopping any time soon"? Those seem to be mutually exclusive.
