The democrats seem more "normal" and are keen on things like sorting out the environment, civil liberties etc.
The Republicans seem to be more serving the needs of the massive corperations that fund their election campaigns.
Bush - he is one step away from a dictator. I only recently started looking at this but I've looked intensly.
For the real (non mass media sponsered) deal on Bush seach on youtube.com or google video's for "bush oberman" or "Jon Stewart Bush" like where Bush say "It's unacceptable to think...." like only a dictator would:

If you really want to see a very brave man tell Bush to his face exactly what the vast majority of educated people think of Bush see:

READ GEORGE ORWELL's Animal Farm (1945) - satirical allegory of the Russian Revolution, particularly directed against Stalin's Russia.
Led by the pigs, the Animals on Mr Jones's farm revolt against their human masters. After their victory they decide to run the farm themselves on egalitarian principles. Inspired by the example of Boxer, the hard-working horse, the cooperation prosper.
The pigs become corrupted by power and a new tyranny is established under Napoleon (Stalin). 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.' Snowball (Trotsky), an idealist, is driven out. The final betrayal is made when the pigs engineer a rapproachement with Mr Jones.
The book was originally rejected for publication by T.S. Eliot in 1944, but has gained since its appearance in 1945 a status of a classic. - Film adaptation from 1955 was a faithful rendition of Orwell's original work, but watered in the end the satire, and presented a socialist viewpoint: the system is good, but the individuals are corruptible.

No one, I believe, can explain politics. It is an unfortunate waste product of our political system. We, the people, are supposed to be represented in the Congress. Apathy by voters has made this a joke. Less than half of Americas voters vote. See the disparity.

No. That's why there are so many parties because everyone has their own side of the story.
