CPAC 2013 proves that Republicans have no new ideas — and don’t want any

Cenk Uygur and Joe Williams, deputy chief of the Boston Globe’s Washington bureau, dissect the speeches given during the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference. “This was the first CPAC that I’ve been to, and it reminded me of one of those Monsters of Rock tours, where everybody wants to go to hear the hits,” Williams says. “You want to go to hear the old stuff, but you don’t want to hear the new material. You want to hear hits like lower taxes, deregulation, smaller government.”
