Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Conservatives, Christians, Atheists and others are just people. Some are sophisticated, some are accountable, some aren't. No party affiliation or label insures anything.

Republicans are not more sophisticated than liberals. The rampant Hedonism of a liberal enables great sophistication, since they experience so many things. Trouble is, Libs don't realize that their hedonistic sophistication will ultimately make them sick.

I think that is an old stereotype from the sixties.
During that time - an especially after - the Liberals were labeled along with sixties radicals, hippie philosophy and so on. Thus, republicans were the mature adults who knew how to get things done. They were engineering types, hard workers and the rest of it. You heard it here.
Today, this image is nearly gone, and is quickly being replaced with a new image of Republican politicians - people who advocate war but chickened out when it was their turn, people who advocate against homosexuality but are homosexual, a government so incompetent it cannot manage crisis like Katrina or win wars like Iraq, and whose top party leaders are corrupt and in the pocket of business. Let's not forget about the deficit or failing infrastructure (bridge collapses).
President Bush (and to some extent Reagan) turned the image of the Republican party from competent managers to incompetent clowns whose solution to the world's problems is a joke, aside or one-liner.

You can't brand a whole group of people as something based on some arbitrary notion (especially something like political beliefs). Some "liberals" are sophisticated and some are not, just as some republicans are sophisticated and some are not.
I'm pretty sure there are both liberals and conservatives who enjoy opera, classical music, fine art etc, and those who like nothing better than slobbing out with a take-out pizza watching the TV.
By asking such a question you are depicting yourself to be juvenile and ignorant - certainly not the sophisticate you seem to be suggesting you are.

Calling a Republican "sophisticated" is like calling the New York Mets "underrated." It's so far from the truth as to be ludicrous.
Double play for me: Slammed the Mets and the Repubs at once!

More like sophomoric! So when has it become sophisticated to repeatedly ask the same question about an 82 year old ex president who has been out of office for 27 years. Anyone who names themselves after a discontinued Reagan farm subsidy program hasn't a clue about sophistication.

"egocentrism is defined as
a) the incomplete differentiation of the self and the world, including other people and b) the tendency to perceive, understand and interpret the world in terms of the self. The term derives from the Greek egô, meaning "I." An egocentric person has no theory of mind, cannot "put himself in other people's shoes," and believes everyone sees what he sees (or that what he sees in some way exceeds what others see.)"

Believing the Olive Garden to be a good Italian restaurant doesn't count as sophisticated, darling.

Like the Grand Wizard himself who cannot put two sentences together without crucifying the English language? Now that's sophisticated.
