The reason the liberals don't say what they stand for has nothing to do with people knowing what they stand for without them saying. Rather, they know they are for things like higher taxes, bigger govt., more social programs, less freedoms, etc.
All politicians want to remain in office, which therefore undercuts the whole point of standing for anything. But most people don't come out and say, "Hey I want to pay more taxes, have less freedom, etc." So the liberals tout themselves as activists for the people, or anti-radical-religious-republicans who will eat you. Because if they came out and said, "I am going to raise your taxes so you can have less money and I can put it in my pocket and stay in office and promote more programs to shell out your hard-earned money to losers who join gangs and do drugs who can;t get a job", no one would vote for them!
