well you have
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideology
This has a bunch of them.
One thing you need to know though. The definition of classic liberalism and the definition of conservatism, as far as today's politics, generally does not accurately describe the ideology of the people who are associated with a liberal or conservative ideology.
In other words most republicans are assumed conservative.
But you know that most of them vote for tax increases and have helped install bigger government. Those are contrary to the conservative ideology.
On the other hand many liberals also vote in tax increases and wealth redistribution. Many of todays liberal politicians fit what would be called democratic socialism.
Read the descriptions and then pick a politician and what they have voted for or institued and you will see this.
You have to really analyze politicians individually for what they are for or what they are about.

Politically speaking a conservative is someone that wants little government intervention in your life.
Liberals, in the U.S.A., means a person that wants government controlling.
You can be a Fiscal Conservative and Social Liberal... Meaning you want little taxes, but granted freedoms to do whatever you want with your life. I.E. Abortion, Homosexuality etc.

liberals believe that anything goes. They don't care who gets hurt in the process as long as they get what they want out of life and it benefits them.
Conservatives weigh the outcomes of both sides and take the high ground. Conservatives are usually God-fearing individuals with a conscience.
Not every one has a conscience.

Liberals, on both side are gutless and weak and want what they call equality for the people. they say they want fairness and a utopia , kinda like socialism. They believe that govt is the answer to any problem.
Conservative on both sides of the isle want less govt control of the people. They believe in the individuals ability to succeed with their God given talents and solve the problems of the world. They believe in capitalism and market conditions to correct imbalances.

Bill Clinton--hero. Hillary Clinton--Rush Limbaugh in a skirt. Al Gore-wishy washy wannabe. Kerry-indecisive in his intelligence.
Reagan-great at economic policy but asleep most of the time. "Doesn't remember" the Iran-Contra affair because of all those naps, then he said he "didn't know about it".

At the moment the difference is liberals are dangerous while conservatives are more dangerous than them.
