Strong Republicans believe in such virtues as organization, obedience, purity, justice, while Democrats believe more in fairness, openness.

Mooney book is at home or I would look it up.

Although, yes, I am often quite messy, if that was your implication.

Although take a look at the following description of Mooney's book from http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2012/04/201241195538365112.html

and see the following:

"While conservatives can be characterised negatively in terms of lack of openness, they can also be characterised positively, in terms of conscientiousness. "Those who rate high on this trait tend to prize orderliness and having a lot of structure in their lives - being on time, working hard, sticking to a predictable schedule, and keeping one's home or office neat or clean... The conscientious are highly goal-oriented, competent, and organised - and, on average, politically conservative.""
