Hillary AGAIN "plagiarizes" Edwards in tonight's debate.

[RBInMaine]

Well, it's a "plagiarized" debate-ending twofer for Hillary. In the Texas debate she ended by "plagiarizing" from Edwards, and she plainly did it again tonight. In her latest brand of herself, Hillary ended by saying (something very close to): "I'm going to be a fighter. I'm going to wake up every day fighting for you. For too long the American people have had a President who is for the wealthy, and it's about time the middle class had a President." (which she also said in the last debate). So now Hillary has morphed into John Edwards the populist. We all know Edwards was saying that he was going to be a "fighter for the middle class" and that we needed "a fighter in the White House" as signiture parts of his stump for months. So to play to working class Ohio voters, the latest brand of Hillary is now a reinvention of John Edwards and his populist message. Will the real Hillary please finally stand up?

*I'm just waiting for a YouTube Hillary/Edwards comparison on the "I'm a fighter" line.

1. Ya know what? At least she kept her promise to incorporate his platform.

8. That's not a platform, that's a pitch.

How would say her policies have changed?

2. And? Obama did the same when his pollsters told him populism sells in Wisconsin and Ohio

What we should be asking ourselves is why we as a party voted for two candidates who copy so much policy and rhetoric from a guy we gave 15-20% support to...their imitation of Edwards is the biggest, most sincere endorsement any candidate could ever receive.

3. Politicians always do this kinda crap. It isn't a big deal, The Plagiarism attack was the problem

4. The plagiarism thing is soo, umm, two weeks ago.

5. Oh dear, so after two weeks it's OK if Hillary steals lines.

[Johnny__Motown]

6. Stealing lines is part of the game. False smears and hypocrisy is a different ballgame

[Hieronymus]

7. You DO recall that Hillary accused Obama of plagiarizing, don't you?

9. you are not being fair

You act like this is new, when in fact, Hillary has been pretending to be a populist ever since it became obvious in January that the economy was tanking and she copied Edwards' stimulus plan.

Also, there is a key difference. Hillary has been saying that the MIDDLE CLASS will not be invisible to her. This was on her website from Day One of her campaign. However, Edwards was fighting for the POOR, and the poor, apparently, are invisible to Hillary. She promises tax credits to the upper middle class and nothing to the poor except perhaps trickle down from the magic of those tax credits and a balanced budget.
