These guys they put on over and over basically offer up nothing new. The fat tim's, stuffys, already know what will be said and how that message will defend or help the left since that's what it is all about!

Good politicians are grounded in firm beliefs, character and a solid political philosophy that works for them no matter what the question is, or who's asking it. I agree with you, they need to have thought through their positions and possible answers, but Republicans are usually better prepared since they don't have to lie about where they stand on an issue. Democrats, OTOH, have to keep dodging and weaving because they are fearful voters will learn their true beliefs.
