Liberals' own worst enemy is themselves. The more people learn about them, the less they like them.
i remember this quite well, as i was a LIBERAL back then... i just knew Dukakis was going to win... then i went on vacation during the Republican Convention... i remember glancing at the newspapers at a stand during my vacation and could not believe my eyes--George Herbert Walker Bush was gaining on Dukakis in the polls... i was devastated! (little did i know that just four years later, i would be voting for GHWB)...
