do SE's penalize for using same blog posts?

[starpimps]

hey guys,
i have two sites and was thinking of using a program liike rss2blog or autobloger pro to get posts from my other site onto the new one. My question is, does google penalize you if you have same posts? even if i change the titles and words around alittle bit

thanks

You would need to swap your keywords around, otherwise it would be dup content and wouldn't help you at all.

I agree with dark horse, avoid duplicating the same content.. You could reword the same stories just dont have identical content on two sites..

duplicate content is penalized (not on the first site it had it) , but on those who copy it later ...
