This has become a disaster for the Democrats and a boon to the Romney campaign. The DNC has now added God back into their platform language after originally taking it out. They have also added language back in that says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. When they tried to change the language on the convention floor, there were boos! Oy-gevalt.
Despite the corrections by the Democrats, the Romney campaign can now argue that the Democrats don't know what they believe on two very important topics. They can also argue that the Democrats only did this because of the pushback. That’s true. The Brody File first pointed it out and the media followed, making this a story that the DNC wants to make go away. The problem is it’s not going away. Expect the Romney campaign to push this until Election Day. These last second changes really just make the issue worse and make the Democrat Party look bad.
In a way it’s unfortunate for the party because speakers at the DNC have been talking about God from the stage and there have been plenty of faith-filled events down here in Charlotte. But party officials should have known this would get scrutinized. The issue is either political malpractice or something far worse.
Here is video of the adoption of the new language. Listen to the boos.

Here’s more info from Associated Press:
Democrats have changed their convention platform to add a mention of God and declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
The move came after criticism from Republicans.
Many in the audience booed after the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, ruled that the amendments had been approved despite the fact that a large group of delegates objected.
He called for a vote three times before ruling.
The party reinstated language from the 2008 platform that said "we need a government that stands up for the hopes, values and interests of working people and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential."
The platform also now includes what advisers said was Obama's personal views on Jerusalem.
WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN!!
"You Didn't Build That!" set the scene for this year's election. Slips of the tongue by Biden, eradicating "God" from the DNC platform, eliminating any reference to Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel ....
The simple truth is that they underestimated the intelligence of the American voter. Using a dead Ted Kennedy to slam Romney or bringing in former president Clinton to uphold a democratic presidency with Obama at the helm, won't work. This latest attempt to backpedal on the intentional elimination of two key points from their platform, is far too little and much too late. It is the death knell for the Obama campaign.
It was voted down.
Organizers “deemed” it back in against the wishes of the crazy delegates

Thanks, it’s fun watching their meltdown. Do you post there...I’m about to have some fun with them. :)
Yes they boo’d.
One reason is that it did NOT pass. It was deemed!
“One reason is that it did NOT pass. It was deemed!”
Like they planned to do with the healthcare law. At least they’re consistent.
God will be sooooo happy and honored that the mighty dhimmicrats deign Him to be worthy of membership in the party.
Not just the delegates are crazy. I’d say anyone attending there is insane: delegates, news-types, organizers, candidates...Everyone there has an obviously misshapen head.
Right on the heels of zero deciding to visit New Orleans after all right after Mitt scheduled a visit. You can’t make this shiite up. LMAO.
demon pass. i rememcollect that.
I’ve got a libertarian streak, ergo I don’t care if they believe in God or not. That will get sorted out soon enough. However, I would like to ask them to try and understand math since they are spending my money.
Wrong, CBN. They didn’t have the two-thirds of the delegates necessary to amend the platform, as can be plainly seen and heard on the video. Mr. Villagorosa simply lied that the amendment had passed. It was bizarre, to say the least.
Not happy about the restoration of God to the platform or not happy about the boos?
You were brave enough to go there...don't leave those of us with delicate constitutions hanging. :)
Hmm, I think he would be afraid to push it considering.
Sad.
No. I lurk there pretty regularly though. I find value in knowing how the other side thinks.
Not happy that their party caved so spinelessly to Republican pressures.
I;m on my third or fourth name...they keep banning me...lol
