I used to think the same as you -- that Democrats were smarter, more informed and just better people than the Repubs. But after five years on DU, I know that is no longer the case. I stopped thinking that way pretty much about 20 minutes into Obama's first term, truth be told. It makes me know my decision to be an independent was the right one. I know that it was the right thing for me to do then and now.
It's a shame this web site actually appears to do more harm to Democratic/liberal principles than anything else. It has often and loudly been lamented that if the good folks in GD spent 1/100th as much time lambasting Repubs as they do Democrats, this web site would turn around in a heartbeat. But considering that there was a beyond absurd post on the Greatest page just yesterday once again blaming the Democrats, and ONLY the Democrats, while once again letting the Repubs off the hook, nothing is going to change around here. The OP actually seemed PISSED that people were blaming the Republicans for the sad state of affairs in Washington. I mean, if that ain't trolling what the hell is?
