"Sen. Obama has said that words matter. I strongly agree..."-Hillary said that TODAY...
"Some people may think words are change. You and I know better-words are cheap."-Hillary said THAT 1 month ago.

Which is it, Hillary? Does she just not CARE anymore?

1. She must have caught Romney's flip-flop disease
Hope she gets better soon.

6. Don't you know if you use that phrase "flip-flop" you'll be accused of being a Freeper?
Hillary supporters can't face the fact that she IS a flip-flopper.

2. "words are cheap"
Especially those that come out of her mouth.

7. no she isn't, that's been a real eye opener for me.
she's not that swift at all.
sure, she's not so bad at the rote stuff, the memorized NCLB kind of thing,
but generally

I think her so called superior intelligence is an urban legend.

9. That's the conclusion I have come to as well
Obama runs rings around her in pretty much every way, except for acting and triangulating, which she is the champion of.

OR she has TERRIBLE judgement, thinking her words will score her more support.

13. Another nasty, pointless, pile-on thread from the Obama side.
I wish someone woul;d start keeping track, so we can prove that it is the Obamaniacs that post 85% of the insulting threads and comments.

24. And you bring nothing to the conversation except feet stamping.
It was an obvious, um, how about this, change in "words" philosophy. Defend that.

19. Exact;y! Hey-remember how her surrogates started calling SDs "AUTOMATIC delegates"?
They're just like the Bush admin. You know-the "Clean Air Initiative," for example. :eyes:

18. a fine distinction , but a distinction nonetheless
Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 06:42 PM by Beaverhausen
She agrees with Obama that words matter, but not that words themselves bring about change.

Words won't bring the change he talks about, only action will.

edited to fix wacky spacing.

21. yeah, words are cheap when discussing bringing about actions
but they do matter.

Do you think all this unity-speak is unifying us?

28. Too bad SHE said words are CHEAP. SHE uses words, too. And she has changed her
words on MANY topics. She has no room to talk. Obama IS unifying people. Not on the DU, but that's to be expected.

41. If words were expensive,
would you be too cheap to CARE that words matter?

BTW my cheap words didn't change anything you wrote. But they still matter to DU.
