'Elect a doer, not a talker,' Hillary urges

NASHUA, N.H. — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York yesterday tried to reframe the Democratic presidential contest as "talk versus action" and "rhetoric versus reality," leveling charges that Sen. Barack Obama has done little more than give impassioned speeches.

"If you gave a speech — and a very good speech — against the war in Iraq in 2002, and then by 2004, you're saying you're not sure how you would have voted, and then by 2005, -6, and -7, you vote for $300 billion for the war you said you were against, that's not change," Mrs. Clinton told a standing-room-only crowd in a high school gymnasium.

That was a direct hit against Mr. Obama, an Illinois Democrat who uses each of his campaign appearances to remind voters he opposed the Iraq war from its inception while Mrs. Clinton voted to authorize it. As she did in a debate the previous evening, Mrs. Clinton highlighted issues on which she said Mr. Obama has shifted position. She did not mention she once voted for war funding but now votes against it.

Mrs. Clinton, who voted for both the USA Patriot Act and its reauthorization, told voters Mr. Obama once said he would oppose the act but later voted for it.

The former first lady told voters here if you "rail against" tax breaks for big oil but "you voted for Dick Cheney's energy bill" in 2005, "that's not change." Mrs. Clinton opposed the energy bill, but several senators supporting her candidacy voted for it.

Mrs. Clinton said New Hampshire voters tomorrow must ensure "we nominate and elect a doer, not a talker."

Mr. Obama, attracting overflow crowds at his events as well, told 3,000 in Exeter that he rejected Mrs. Clinton's debate argument of Saturday night.

Is Hill a doer, or a doee?

I suspect both. And frequently.

“we nominate and elect a doer, not a talker.”

we do. That’s why we vote for Republicans.

Whenever I hear someone comment on how great our junior senator has been for our state, I ask them where the 250,000 jobs are that she promised to bring (while also noting that 269,000 jobs have left since then). Then I ask them to name one bill she has passed in her 7 years. Sadly enough the same people will tell me that none of that matters, she’s still great.

During a December 2007 break from the Iowa Gang Obaming of Hill, Big Brown delivered the Sad Hill in her big brown and ugly pant suit to light up a meeting for her in Gilford, NH!

Then the Hill lights up the Gilford, NH Meeting with her charm and energy!

I don’t know which of those two is the worse!

By saying this she just eliminated all of the Democrat frontrunners including herself. This is why Senators rarely get elected to the WH.
