- After sharp criticism from Mitt Romney and Republicans, the Democrats have reinstated the language into their party platform that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well as the words "God-given" that were removed in this year's platform.

[bowlalpo]

Too late, DNC. We already know what you REALLY mean.

[GSP.FAN]

Convention Chairman Antonio Villaraigosa tried to add the new sections via voice vote, but had to take the vote three times after nays appeared to match yeas. Eventually he declared a two-thirds majority for amending the platform, which was met with boos in the hall.

[native texan]

FOX “The Five” were talking about it just now.

[icwhatudo]

Wow, thats gonna hurt! They are admitting they were caught red handed.

[cardinal4]

Too late, we know what you are about DNC..

[Terry Mross]

“We don’t believe in God. What? This upsets a lot of voters? Really? Democrat voters? Okay then, we change our minds. We DO believe in God.”

[Eleutheria5]

Vacillate. Vacillate.
Dance to the muuusic.

Exactly!

Democrat - death bed conversion

[Army Air Corps]

The Rats are playing defense...and doing so a day late and a dollar short.

[o2bfree]

We should’ve kept our cards closer to the vest... and started playing this one on Thursday.

Since they changed the platform... we gave this issue right back to them.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[Bluestocking]

The ultimate flip-flop. They were against God before they were for Him.

[MestaMachine]

Wonder how G-d likes being an afterthought.

Amidst Boos And Multiple Votes, DNC Reverses Position And Reinstates Jerusalem:

Watch this video.

[KansasGirl]

Yep. Too late Rats. We know who you are. Btw, did you dump your extreme abortion platform?

[Army Air Corps]

No, they goofed and did so poorly. The booing alone is the stuff of campaign ads.

Does it seem to anyone else that the Democrats are spending an awful lot of time and effort reacting to issues that the Romney people are putting out there, instead of concentrating on coming up with some sort of persuasive idea as to why Obozo should get another term?

Behavior like that is a sure sign that they are completely lost. When the other guy keeps you reacting to his agenda instead of putting out your own message, you're screwed.

These people are morons, Obama hasn't got a chance with this kind of campaign coordination.

[OrangeHoof]

Oh, they’ll add it back. Usually with the word “damn” right behind or in front of it.

[Political Junkie Too]

What does Dick Durbin have to say about this turn of events?

[fella]

Sounds like some CYOA.

[marron]

After sharp criticism from Mitt Romney and Republicans, the Democrats have reinstated the language into their party platform that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well as the words "God-given" that were removed in this year's platform.

So, in our spare time when we're not saving the country, we save the DNC from itself and Dem babies from their mothers.

[GeronL]

bump

[freeangel]

I can hardly wait to hear the LIES about WHY these were reinstated. They can’t manage their own platform but think they can run a country?

[piasa]

They were against God before they were for Him.

LOL!

[ConservaTexan]

Now they have to worshp at one altar and pretend to worshp at another.

[OB1kNOb]

Well, fooey! I guess I have to stop calling them godless commies and just call them commies............/s

[D-fendr]

>>”Since they changed the platform... we gave this issue right back to them.”

I don’t think so. Check out the video. Disastrous.

Had to wait until after the Jumah.

Nailed it in one.

The socialist and homo activists take seriously, their hatred of the Jewish/Christian God and Israel. This backdown from “progress” is going to sting the radicals. The liberal social doctrine of humanism must erase the notion of God before Utopia can arrive.

[piasa]

Their party faithless sure didn’t like that retreat.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks tapatio.

After sharp criticism from Mitt Romney and Republicans...

Too little, too late, and no credibility.

[Nachum]

The list, Ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

[Proud2BeRight]

The DNC didn’t like the concept of an empty chair representing GOD.

[KansasGirl]

I can’t wait to see them explain the “Nays” and “Boos” from more than 1/2 the delegates present. PR DISASTER! Of course, FNC is the only station that will mention it.

[a fool in paradise]

Since they changed the platform... we gave this issue right back to them.

There was a split of cheers and boos from the delegates. Several times.

The public needs to know that there is a substantial bloc of the Democrat convention that is antitheist and possibly antisemite as well.

[illinifan]

And then they had to deem it passed over the vigorous objections of the delegates. Will some aspiring journalist ask Little Miss Debbie about why they passed the amendment against the will of their delegates?

She either acknowledges it didn't pass or will branded a liar by the video. Win-Win

[KansasGirl]

After booing God, it’s probably a good thing they moved the convention inside.

[353FMG]

WTH?

Why are Romney and PUBS trying to correct the dhims? Let them make fools of themselves before the American people.

The GOP is truly the Stupid Party. How could they have survived for so long?

[tapatio]

Does it seem to anyone else that the Democrats are spending an awful lot of time and effort reacting to issues that the Romney people are putting out there, instead of concentrating on coming up with some sort of persuasive idea as to why Obozo should get another term?

Yep! Leading from behind.

[Bluestocking]

If the Democrats think Romney’s good enough to decide what’s in their platform, how can they deny he’s also good enough to run the country?

[Col Frank Slade]

Excellent point and I think part of it stems from the fact that Obama has NEVER faced a tough opponent who fights back.

All his IL legislature wins involved dirty tricks on opponents who self imploded with leaked divorce papers, sex scandals, etc.

And McCain was a weak opponent who never fought back and muzzled Palin.

[lodi90]

Nope. Dims just booed God! This one is going to stick and sting them good.

Gd is allowed, but it seems He must ride in the back of the bus with the white people.

but of course they downplayed it.

When I watched them booing, I thought the same thing.This one is going to hurt them. Exposes them for who they are.
