- 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.

[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?

Sounds like some CYOA.

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.

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

>>”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.

[SaraJohnson]

Eventually he declared a two-thirds majority for amending the platform, which was met with boos in the hall.

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.

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
