On the general topic if words matter in politics -- my answer is "no"

Actions are all that count. People are a fickle bunch, and it's an old trick to sound good on TV and then do whatever you feel like -- as long as it's complicated enough to the average Fred that he's not going to get pissed.

That's true for both parties. Look to how people act in the past -- it's a good predictor for the future. (Aside from 9-11 type events)
