All these guys tend to be more decent out of office and more evil in office. But there is a difference between the parties, as noted by Ralph Raico in 2004. There are pro-peace and pro-civil liberties constituencies within the Democratic party. With the exception of Ron Paul and a handful of others, all Republicans belong to the nightstick caucus, and go ooh-rah at the thought of foreign blood. Think of the imperial proletariat at the Colosseum.
