Might you be prone to generalize? For instance: I don't doubt that some Democrats lie and I'm unable to compare percentages of those who do with those who don't, but laws put into effect by Democrats certainly prove that they "care" for the less fortunate and are less supportive of the wealthy than the laws instigated by Republicans. Along with power and the accumulation of wealth often goes love of money and sometimes it's put above the welfare of others, but, it's my belief, that there is less of this mental stance, historically as well as currently, in the Democratic party, than in the Republican.
