Re: Stupid and obvious reason
"The Repblicans are no different - they just answer without actually providing an answer, unlike the Democrats who develop hard of hearing syndrome when asked anything."
They are different. The Dems can afford to ignore embarrassing issues, 'cause their friends in the big media will cover for them. Reps know that everything they say will be examined for any possible angle that can be construed as evil. Under those circumstances, what Rep would want to be forthright about any touchy subject, knowing the media dogpile they would face, while the Dems, safe on the sidelines, jeer as the victims are harried to their political demise.
