Many Republicans who happen to be Christians and many Republicans who aren't Christian tend to share conservative values based upon time tested common law perspective and consideration for the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Now if we take the dual of the argument, i.e. all other persons with opposite character, then they tend to flock to or are targeted to become Democrats. Accordingly, many intelligent or smart Democrats also happen to be liars or swindlers. Many criminals and habitual offenders tend to favor a social grouping such as the Democratic party.
By no means does this imply Republicans don't have a share of some heinous persons, but I've found the Republicans hold criminals and lawbreakers accountable for their behavior when exposed, whereas the Democrats will find any ploy to justify vice, crime, and heinous behavior.
As for Idiots, there are innocent bystanders in both parties who seem to just follow the flow of their surroundings, but the real suckers who fail to critically review threats to their security tend to land in the Democratic Party. Idiots in the Republican camp at least learn from time tested traditions and opt for conservatism although some don't always think through their conservative trends in application to the specific situations thrust upon them. Democratic idiots tend to either be void of comprehending the consequences of all people following their leadership or artfully dodge accountability in a Machiavellian power lust.
It's sort of like the difference between judgment and discernment. When I do it, it's discernment. When they do it, it's judgment,.....hehehehe, oh I really kill me,...;^)
