As the Bible puts it, "The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Who can know it?"But as to political parties, the Democrats have it all over the Republicans because the Republicans claim to represent those who respect action, and the Democrats respect only talk. Talk happens to be the stock in trade of journalism, so there is a natural affinity between Democrat politicians and journalists. Of course Republican politicians are talkers, too - but they are talking to people who at least try to reject second guessing. Democrats eat up second guessing like it had actual value.
