Everyone except anarchists believe in legislating morality. Criminalizing murder is an example of moral legislation that everyone believes in.

The kind of moral legislation that people object to is the legislation of PRIVATE morality such as: who I have sex with, what I watch on TV, what drugs I take, whether I gamble, how my money is spent, etc. Both democrats and republicans are equally guilty fo legislating private morality, but Republicans do it more with respect to sex and drugs and Democrats do it more with respect to how people use their money.
