First off, it's a game 
A game I've played too much, and can thusly respond with the following:
Secondly, the alliance did not exist until the Horde came pouring through the Dark Portal in the first place. Therefore, it is far more likely that "For the Horde!" existed prior to "For the Alliance!", albeit probably not in Common.
Orcs can be warlocks, which makes sense due to their former ties to the demons of Outlands. Trolls, Undead, and Blood Elves, possibly the three more well-learned races of the Horde, are the only ones that can be mages. I'll agree that the Trolls probably aren't as bright as the other two, but at least they have empirical studies to back up their magic. True, it's mostly used to turn people into frogs and such, but hey - whatever floats your boat.
And just a note on the tauren. Sure they may look like cows, but that doesn't mean they're slow. They've had every opportunity to pick up the arcane arts, but simply decided not to. They've got their way of doing things, and they're going to keep doing it that way. Seems to be working pretty well, and although they're not a very book-smart people persay, they're far from dumb.
The alliance, on the other hand... talk about being bad. The gnomes nuked their own city, so now they have to shack up with the dwarves, who are continuously obsessed with their digs, to the point that they're destroying a large portion of the world's ecosystems. Even the Night Elves are poisoning the world with their new, un-authorized tree house at Teldrassil. I'd say only the Forsaken, a number of whom are bent on killing off all life on the planet, are comparable if you want to go toe to toe on the evil scale. And at least the Blood Elves are evil with style.
Thus, horde > alliance.
