If you have a great product and want to sell it...then all you need is superior product knowledge and a little faith in the product as well as yourself...

To me, it seems that the Liberal Left has none of the above.  They do not have a great product  (evidenced by the fact that they voted down John Shadegg's amendment to mandate it for all Federal employees and the Congress).  They do not have faith in it...as evidenced by the fact that they keep changing the discussion to swastikas, Nazis, right wing wackos, domestic terrorists, astro turf, tea bag movement, racists, etc.  They blame the right for attending town halls and asking substantive questions.  They blame the insurance companies.  Why do we need a villain?  They run from discussing the substance of what is in the bill...printed on the 1,000 plus pages.  One must ask oneself why?

When confronted by constituents, it seems some politicians want to avoid answering specific questions or "fudge" their answers to CYA.  The public would have a lot more confidence in the administration if the Senators and Representatives would come out and answer by documenting pages of the given bill.  After all it is their job to read and explain said bill to us their "employer".  (This is what John Shadegg did.)
