We have about 14 political parties in the US, surely we can find someone other than a D/R?

This is the key, especialy when one notes the lack of differences real between R and D.
One or the other has been "thrown out" time and again with little to no corrections to, or reversals of, the poor legislation which caused the upheaval.

The problem appears to be "2" parties, controled by nearly the same interests.
Are they Republicrats or Demicans?

I don't think more parties would help. Look at Italian politics. A similar situation would tear this country apart.

Has it not, perhaps, reached the point of that being neccesary?

Tearing my country apart? No I don't see that as being necessary at all.
