BC's Political Scene: The 'I am proud' waffle

I loathe the formulaic pseudo-answers politicos give to avoid answering specific questions asked by members of the voting public. One of those responses includes the 'I am proud' waffle.

As I tweeted to BC Liberal candidates yesterday: Voters don't give damn if you are "proud" of policy x or the track record of y. We want to know what YOU and your government would do now and in the future.

Politicians' habit to fill airtime with fluff like 'I am proud...' only raises my cynicism metre.
