If you are talking about today's political parties then, on the average, the Democrats are considered more liberal and the Republicans are considered more conservative. However, there are liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats. The Republicans tend to favor less government and the Democrats tend to favor more government, when dealing with domestic problems and individual and states' rights. Republicans tend to favor economic laws that regulate as little as possible. Democrats favor legislation that regulates industry for the protection of the consumer. Democrats tend to favor some sort of government aid for those individuals who need assistance. A Green Party was created in the US in 1984 and it is much more liberal than the Democrats, but it cannot be considered a "major" political party yet because of it's small membership. I believe the "Greens" do have influence in the politics of some European nations.
Federalists vs. Democratic Republicans George Washington himself wanted to avoid a party system in America. Unfortunately, even when saying this he was part of the beginning of one of the first parties in United States politics. ^_^

Thomas Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican. *Although the party was not called the "Democratic Republicans" until around 1839. The party was initially called the Republicans (Different party than today's republicans) - but their opponents called them 'Democrats' insultingly. Eventually (after a few slight faction name shifts), the name was changed to "Democratic Republicans." *Thomas Jefferson was an anti-federalist, then a member of the Opposition (when George Washington was president), and -then- a Republican (Jeffersonian Republican) during the presidency of Madison. Factions at that time in history often changed names and goals (ie, the anti-federalists were against the consolidation of the nation under one government. Obviously, Jefferson helped unify our country and those problems were resolved, so after the constitution was finished, there was no real need for those parties anymore.)
