1st - what do you mean by "dividing gap?"
2nd, if you are talking about what specifics each party stands for or is divided by, the simplist answer is: Republicans are for BIG Corporations. Now, the major issues are : conflicts of interest corruption, greed, paybacks, etc. (This Aministration, Congress) claim to be for less government - we can all see how that has worked!
Democrats are basically invested in working for the "American People" and social programs for middle - lower class folks.
There are always exceptions to every rule; the democratic process is one of those...it works great, if the PEOPLE insist on things like: following, (not re-interpreting the constitution of the USA) checks and balance, oversight of the presidency, and a congress that works for us, not against us!
When the people we elect, and whose salaries we pay, actually work for us they get to stay - when they don't it is time for them to go!

Today both parties have forgotten President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address "Ask not what your country can do for you
but what you can do for your country." They attempt to buy ones vote with tax payer's money. There uses to be the size of government. Today they both seem to want big government. Big government also means Big retirement bills.
Neither party has offered an individual with a vision to increase the wealth of the world for a long time.
Today one holds ones nose & picks between 2 bad choises.

A long time ago George Wallace said it you put the Republicans and Democrats in a bag and shake them up there ain't but a dime worth of difference.
The Republicans are trying to out Democrat the Democrats.

Political involvement. Conservatives feel that the country should be run by very few elitist. Liberals feel that the country should be run by the people for the people.
Using a better analogy, the conservatives want a monarchy, while the liberals want a democracy.

I haven't noticed any particularly "great" political parties, but assuming that you are referring to contemporary U.S. and assuming that you are using the word "great" in its meaning as large, I will believe you mean the democratic and republican parties of the United States of America.
The primary overarching philosophy difference is that republicans are more "conservative" and democrats are more "liberal". In this context these words mean than democrats believe in a bigger role for government, more regulation, more social services, and republicans believe in a smaller role, less goverment involvement, more personal liberty.

Nothing. The bilderbergers pull the strings regardless of political affiliation.
The only thing that changes are the figureheads who administer the agenda of the higher ones.
Bush doesn't make a single decision himself.
I doubt he can have breakfast without being told to do so.
When his usefulness runs out he will be discarded and replaced with another puppet.

The main thing is taxes. Democrats want higher taxes to pump more money into government programs and the economy, whereas Republicans want tax cuts because it strengthen businesses therefore an improved economy.
