It's easier to list their similarities, and note the minor variations.
Both parties believe in big govt, and high govt spending. Republicans achieve this through deficit spending; Democrats through high taxes.
Both parties believe in heavy govt regulation. Republicans prefer to regulation individuals and personal choices, and leave businesses alone; Democrats tend to regulate businesses more than people.
Both parties believe heavy govt subsidies and handouts. Republicans give the money to churches and corporations, while Democrats give more money through welfare and social programs.
Both parties are committed to remaining in power, and both of them abuse the political system to achieve this goal. Both slander and belittle the other side. Republicans do this in a more dismissive way, claiming to be dealing with bigger problems. Democrats tend to take a more direct attack role, and go after the Republicans.
Both parties have effectively shut out the moderate conservatives and liberals, and stopped working towards any moderate agendas. Both have abandoned the rule of law, Republicans overtly and blatantly, and Democrats by not fixing the problems.

Sure....
Difference Between Republicans and Democrats
A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.
The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and gave the homeless person fifty dollars.
Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats

There's no difference. Just the jack *** and the elephant. Both are bought and paid for equally and lie, cheat and steal equally. Ever hear of "independants" ?

There isn't one anymore. It's just an illusion created to "uphold" the "values'" this great State was founded upon. Or some crap like that.
