I couldn't agree more. Every time I hear one of these non-answers and especially when one is substituted with *talking points*, it makes me crazy. Actually I can respect someone not knowing and indicating how they would go about coming up with a solution, answer, or evalution. Not everything has to be on the tip of one's tongue. Thoughtful investigation and clarification of all the points at issue is more to the point of governing. Honesty is an important factor. We need to be able to believe in what our representatives are putting forth.
