"What is it that always makes them so coy and hesitant to say what they are really thinking? Instead of denying it and pretending to think something else?"

The vast majority of citizens are exposed to political sound bites. One must lie, in the fewest words possible, on a significant media outlet to sooth the needs of the in-between-voters. (It is assumed 33% vote democratic regardless of the issues, 33% republican regardless of the issues, and the remaining 33% can be manipulated.)

Although nobody likes to put it in these words, it is the truth. If a "true" politician stated these facts, then their comments would be the sound bite the public would hear. This, in turn, would defeat the intention and effect of political manipulation.
