1, Abortion - presidents of both parties have made little change to abortion laws as far as I am aware
2, free market vs government control - both parties are clearly and openly capitalist. Neither party supports state owned enterprise, enforced worker democracy, or the nationalisation of key industries
3, environmentalism - both Clinton and Bush have been heavily criticised by the rest of the world for not doing enough in this area.
4, social policy - neither party supports a complete, cradle to the grave national health service, both parties support some kind of limited welfare "safety net", neither part supports massive spending on public services and a huge programme of taxation on the assets of the rich
These are the ideologicla differences that matter, that people care about. Both the Democratc and Republicians agree on the basic ideology of their parties the only arguments are on how to manage these policies.
