A Democrat and a Republican are party members. Currently Democrats believe in a strong central Government that should control all items the society. Republicans were fairly conservative until recently. There new ideas and views seem to fall fairly close to the Democrats.
A liberal believes that all things should be regulated and controlled by the Government. They believe that the Federal Government should have absolute control over the States.
A Conservative believes that we should have fairly limited Government. That the States are often more capable to determining our best interests then the Feds.
A Libertarian is an ultra conservative. They believe that the Feds and State should be VERY limited. Drugs, for example, should be legal. It should be your responsibility to stay away from them and the Government should not be a babysitter. They also believe that the Government should not supply you with money when you retire or if you screw up your life. They are the total freedom people of the list above.
To put the list on a scale you have Liberals that believe you should have zero roights and supplied everything on the far left, Democrats that are almost there, Republicans which are almost there now, and liberatarians at the far right that believe in total freedom and rights. The further left, the more freebies, the furher right the more freedom and less freebies.

What were the beliefs of the Republicans?
Irish Republicans believe quite strongly in the reunion of Ireland under the political authority of the Irish people. Currently, there are 6 counties in the North of Ireland that remain under the control of the British government. The remaining 26 counties in the South are part of the republic of Ireland. The 6 counties in the north are technically under the authority of the Crown. This is an intolerable situation for many Catholics and even some Protestants in the North. The word "Republican" confuses Americans, who sometimes think it is related to the Republican party of the USA. However, the term "republican" as used by the Irish refers to the basic meaning of the word, namely, a form of government which derives its support from the electorate. The USA has a republican form of government, if that gives you an idea. To sum up this basic definition, Irish republicans want to be reunited with Ireland and separate from Great Britain, a country they have accused repeatedly of acting unjustly towards the Irish. The Island of Ireland in overwhelmingly Nationalist / republican in that the majority want a nation independent of Britain or any other foreign power. Irish republicans want the island to be one state. A section of the country was partitioned due to British rule. The six north easterly counties were chosen despite two of these counties having slight nationalist majorities, and two other counties having large unionist minorities. This was done in order to ensure that the Northern Ireland state would always have a strong Unionist majority and thus an internal majority upholding this state. Irish nationalists do not believe a portion of the country should be ruled by the British unless this is the will of the population of Ireland. Uninonists in the six couties believe that they have a right to self determination based on the area of the six counties. Its kind of like if the majority of New Mexico and Texas were Mexican and decided to create a new province of Mexico and remove themselves from the U.S.A.
What are the democrat and repubican symbols mean?
The symbols came from a famous political cartoonist named Thomas Nast, who first portrayed Republicans with the elephant symbol in a cartoon for Harper's magazine in 1874. At that time, he meant to imply that the elephant was loyal and strong, but if you got it upset, it could stampede and cause harm. Later, the symbol came to represent only the positive aspects of loyalty and strength. The idea of the donkey had been used to represent Democrats as far back as the late 1830s, and it too had a somewhat negative meaning at first (the "jackass"-- used as a reference to then-president Andrew Jackson), but later, it came to be associated with stubborn determination. As he had done with the elephant, Nast also popularized the donkey image in his political cartoons.
