Because the right-wing lunatics are trying to blame everything on the so-called
"liberals" (you know, the ones who advocate "permissiveness", whatever that is).
The aforementioned "liberals" are running scared (as you would if you were being
outspent by an order of magnitude) and are so afraid of being called "soft" on
crime/Communism/whatever that they capitulate.  Just ask [Mass. governor] Mike
Dukakis, who at one time had enough integrity to resist such demagoguery!  (Or
any of the House members who switched their votes on aid to the contras!)
