SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Democrat Hillary Clinton courted labor activists with a sharply populist theme, making the argument that the party needs to focus on results not rhetoric and that she's the candidate best able to change the nation's course.

Drawing a clear distinction with her Democratic rivals, Clinton brought her former president husband along for a Labor Day swing underscoring her experience.

"Change is just a word if you don't have the strength and experience to make it happen," Clinton said. "I bring 35 years of experience to make the changes I think we need to make in America."

She sounded her theme before more than 2,000 activists at a Labor Day picnic in Sioux City.

On Edit: Sorry, couldn't resist, this claim doesn't even pass the first sniff test...

"Courts Union 'leaders', corporate union shills and the money they control" would be more accurate.

4. So with all that so called "experience"

she voted to let an idiot invade and occupy Iraq, on lies--did not have the werwithal to investigate the facts-or perhaps her "experience" told her not to question a damn thing about it-and continued to support the slaughterhouse in Iraq as years went by--and further--refuses to admit the stupidity of her vote--giving us all the finger as she racks up her "experience"

\Her experience is, and on this I agree with Obama, is old. She is on the platform waiting to board a train that has already left the station.

Experience? as first lady?

--her experience is learning the ropes of the way to shove her middle finger at ordinary people. Her experience tells her to use PR techniques that are no different than the moron Bush. She will do anything to win--and promoting this dubious "experience" is bullcrap./

10. Yawn.....Typical rambling, anti-Hillary post with no real substance.

6. She didn't give any specific promises to help organized labor

Don't think that unions should endorse any candidate that doesn't promise specific things.
