One could argue that we merely don't see eye to eye... That they aren't stupid any more than I am stupid.

But at the same time it is fairly clear to me just how much of a mess is caused by the ideology which they, by their votes, embrace. They complain about the mess, same as Democrats. (By mess, I mean poverty, and other issues directly related to the economy.)

Republican moral issues - wedge issues - are just a scam, and those who get suckered into voting against their own economic interests - ie, many republicans - are ignorant, naive, etc.

Calling them "stupid", "greedy", "selfish", etc... well, they earned it.

While some may say that calling Republicans "stupid" is partisanship, which is similar to racism, I disagree. Other people who get stereotyped - black people, gay people, lesbians, even women - well, first of all, they didn't choose to be black/gay/lesbian/women; and secondly, there are many black (etc) people who are intelligent, and well-informed... who clearly don't fit the stereotype; and thirdly, those stereotypes seem based on racism (sexism, etc) or are used to justify racism (sexism, etc).
