They looked down on other benders, persecuted them, and even tried to wipe many of them out so there would be less resistance. Azula only used the Dai Li because they were corrupt and she was able to take them over. Most earthbenders were loyal to the earth kingdom, so it wouldn't work especially with the way they were treated by the Fire Nation.
