Christie At CPAC Says - "Our Ideas Are Better Than Their Ideas" - What Exactly Are......

'our ideas' that he is referring to?

I would like to have a side by side comparison of the Repub ideas vs the Dem ideas. It seems to me when you compare what each party is for - that many that call themselves Repubs won't agree with most of the Repub ideas and would agree with the Dem ideas. Problem is I've never seen such a side by side comparison so that I could show them to my Repub friends and let them defend them.

All they've got is legislating religion, moving us back to a 1950s social vision, and handing all the money to the rich. That's it.

don't stand for "our ideas". They either stand for "their ideas" but just put a different letter after their name, or worse yet they want to split the difference and take a little from column A and a little from column B and then be praised for their maturity or "bipartisanship".

The Democratic party as a whole no longer has a set of ideas OR ideals. Their only ideas are "not as bad as the other guys".
