They are self righteous individuals who ignore the moral failings of their own party and amplify those of the opposition. The Truth is all humans are imperfect and there is plenty of "immorality" on both sides.
EDIT For the person who said Ethics are about the search for truth and not about morality:
Ethics
1 the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation2 a: a set of moral principles : a theory or system of moral values
Ethics is all about the "what should I do?" question
The "search for truth" falls under "epistemology" not ethics.
The line of argument presented totally ignores the "truth" that many republicans have questionable ethics and morals just as many democrats do. The answer is a perfect example of the kind of erroneous thinking that makes some people profess the moral superiority of republicans

Just take a look at the facts of the behaviors of people in either party and you will see why some people believe this. Clinton was/is a liar and cheating on your wife and the whole nation is informed? This is not moral.

well I just read an article about how the party is pushing out moderate republicans and the evangelical religious right has hijacked the party -the article stated that Iowa is not the only place this is happening and many of the moderates wont be voting or sitting out the general elections if someone like huckabee gets the nomination -

They don't...
You are confusing morals with ethics..
Morals are what's done in our society...as in is it 'right' that we do this.
Ethics are about the search for truth.
If a law exists in you country where we behead speeders..it is a moral punishment to behead speeders...though it is not ethical.
Conservatives are about truth...liberals are about appearances.
There were soviet spies in our government in the 50's..that is a truth..and the liberals knew it..but liberals said.....but McCarty had a gay aide, he was rude, he exaggerated his war record..they did not respond to the truth..
Bill Clinton did have sex with 'that woman', he did commit perjury, he did obstruct justice..these are truths..and the liberals knew it..but all we heard was..'it's just about sex'..they did not respond to the truth.
Lower tax RATES means higher tax revenue...this is a truth..and the liberals know it..so if lowering rates increases total revenue...why do the liberals want to raise rates?
Abortion is killing...this is the truth...but liberals think that truth is less important than 'a choice'
George Bush did win Florida in 2000, he did beat Gore..he had more votes in Florida after the recount..this is the truth..and the liberals know this...but all we hear is 'he wasn't elected'.
Nixon did commit crimes, this is the truth, and the republicans knew it...but it was republicans that told him they would vote to impeach...they valued the truth..
Look I could go on..and I do not want to imply that conservatives do not lie at times, and that liberals do not tell the truth at times...
It's about conservatives seeking and speaking the truth..while liberals look at feeling, appearances and outcomes..political correctness.
We all know what political correctness is...a A way of saying something in a nice way that avoids the plain truth.

The major news networks push this theory because, in their belief, the Republicans are predominantly made up of the religious right and the networks would like everyone to believe that they are pushing the 'Christian agenda' on to the party.

Well,its the lies,Bush didnt lie,he was given information by more than one source and took action.Even both Clinton"s said this to be true but later lied about their vote,and stance on Iraq.Bill took the liars way out,Hillary flipped flopped on the situation.The left has lost its meaning in the last 30 years,its backers like moveon.org and the like are actually extreme left socialists.The regular people whom are independents and democrats still have morals though,but are blinded by the left propaganda machine.....at least thats what I've witnessed.
