In both of your threads, I find your categorizations a bit too haphazard and non-definite. If this stuff interests you, go to websites with a test to place you on the political spectrum, and study the questions instead of answering them (ask for each question, which position would each of the parties take on this issue?)
Some sites to try:
http://politicalcompass.org/
http://www.okcupid.com/politics
and you can find more.
You can get a good overview of the set of issues that define the differences between the parties, as well as those issues that find both support and opposition within both parties.
