The whole aim of practical
politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led
to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of
them imaginary.
The
Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated
time and again that they have the management skills of celery. They're
the kind of people who'd stop to help you change a flat, but would
somehow manage to set your car on fire. I would be reluctant to entrust
them with a Cuisinart, let alone the economy. The Republicans, on the
other hand, would know how to fix your tire, but they wouldn't bother to
stop because they'd want to be on time for Ugly Pants Night at the
country club.

Funny Dave Barry quote but stereotypes aside, the fact of the matter is that conservatives, ugly pants or not, are more likely to take action to help others themselves, while liberals usually content themselves with demanding that somebody richer than they are should be forced by government to do the helping. Why this makes them "nicer" is beyond me.
