I guess in a more classic term.
Republican are called conservatists for a reason and also are the extreme side of them are usually pro-life on every issue and very religious so they are usually against gay marriages.
Democrats are called liberals and opposite of conservatists are usually pro-choice on like every issue and of course that means that they usually support the same sex marriages and etc.
And of course both usually argue or debate a lot because of their different views.
Issues
1. Abortion
Democrats: Abortion is a woman’s right and should be legal
Republicans: Abortion should be illegal and restricted by government
2. Flag Burning
Democrats: Flag burning is political speech and is protected by the Constitution Republicans: Protect the flag from burning by a constitutional amendment
3. Gun Control
Democrats: Favor/Gun control is needed
Republicans: Oppose/Gun control is unconstitutional
4. Natural Environment
Democrats: Strong regulations are needed to protect the environment
Republicans: Strong environmental laws harm the economy
But in the political spectrum there are other parties also (independents, enviormentalists, etc.).

Republicans are into less government control and less taxes
Democrats are into more government control and to do that we must increase taxes
Republicans are also socially conservative, against abortion, gay marriage, flag burning, etc.

Your right as far as both listen to the lobbyists too much. The Dems DO concern themselves with the average American. The Repubs are more concerned with the wealthy...and many "unwealthy" buy into the idea that they CAN be wealthy, so they vote against their own best interests. Stupidity knows no bounds...they might win the lottery though.
