Campaigning by "sound bites"

I find it rather frustrating that the candidates, all of them, make statements about a particular cause without giving us a broader understanding of his or her position on issues that matter more to some of us than others. For example, if technology is your bag and your primary concern is digital and internet technologies, there are hundreds of issues that are clearly too complex for sound bites. Yet, even on candidates' websites, we find the candidates themselves are dead silent on issues regarding the internet, and protecting the rights of speech, ownership, etc.
