Convention floor chaos: Democrats alter platform, disagree (Outrage from Jew-hating, atheist 'Rats)
CNN ^ | 9/5/12 | Kevin Liptak and Ashley Killough

Posted on 09/05/2012 6:01:17 PM PDT by jimbo123

In a rare display of just how quickly a tightly scripted national political convention can unwind, Democrats on Wednesday struggled to complete a voice vote amending their party platform to include language referring to Jerusalem and God.

It took three attempts from Democratic National Convention Chairman Antonio Villaraigosa before the platform was amended, and a loud chorus of delegates yelling "no" met each attempt to pass the changes by voice vote.

Because it’s tradition for plenty of people to vote Democrat, some Jews, Christians, etc. have that kind of belief. However, at the same time, I look at the DNC and find it odd that some people can actually believe what was said there: Immigration reform, ending the budget deficit with no presented budget plan right in front them, etc. all while they spent years essentially doing the opposite of what they promised. Again, it sounds for the most part like a B.S. promise being made here. There is a small likelihood that perhaps the opposition encouraged them to take this position, and they would carry it out if elected, but I feel a great deal of doubt about that.

This is hard to hear because there's a lot of noise in the convention hall. You have to listen close here to hear Durbin. But he's there, because he knows. Here's the thing. Durbin knows the fact that news has gotten out that Democrats have taken God out of the platform, that's not something insignificant. That could really, really be a factor in the outcome of the election. More so than Michelle's speech. That's big, believe me. He knows it.

CNN was shocked, and this is the same network that during the Lebanon/Israel conflict said that Israel was “Murdering women and children.” Even the Communist News Network was stunned by what the Dems did..even John King called it an “Embarrassment”

"my son will not talk about it." Why the hell would you talk to a liberal? People who provide social and/or familial support to liberals are the enemy. Death-symps.

And you sir/madam are one of the main reasons our country is failing. YOU ADVOCATE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMILY UNIT.

Shame on you. Next you will tell me I cannot talk to a Jew or a Catholic or a Methodist or an English man or ...

But, Bath-House Barry intervened and saved the party from godless-ness. After all, he is the messiah...(as pictured in the new 2013 Obama calendar.)

I hope their backtracking and putting “God” and “Jerusalem” back in the Platform pisses off their Arab and Muslim supporters and their BOOING of God and Jerusalem pisses off their Jewish supporters. As Michelle Malkin said: “It’s a PR nightmare.”

Knock off the hysteria. The man who tolerates (encourages) liberalism under his roof destroys his own family.

Watch for code words, from Slick, dissing Obama.

Nope. I'm online and watching the NFL Season Opener. I refuse to watch one minute of that bunch of lying, Marxist thugs' Convention.

my son votes for the Dims even though he complains about them all. His grandfather voted straight ticket Democrat.

Reminds me of the line in the old Ray Steven's song: "There are none so blind, as those who will not see."

Slick cut a deal. He’s oblunder’s lapdog now. There won’t be any code words.

You are the one who is hysterical. You are advocating I should abandon my son including his wife and children. And by doing so to exclude them from visiting with their siblings and families.

You are the one who states I am tolerating liberalism. I do not rather I argue against it. I assume you would not tolerate your child from stating something you do not agree with. I at least can still converse with my son and attempt to change his thinking. You do noting but shut out the rest of the world.

I still state, your type of mentality is the prime reason our country will decline because you do not allow any discussion, any type of compromise, any type of education.

I feel sorry for you and your extended family. I am sure there are many in it who miss you very much. I at least am able to have holidays and vacations with all of mine.

Assuming “I see my hands” even has a family.

Thank God, all my adult kids are Conservative. But what would you have ProudFossil do; kick the kid out of the house just because he's stupid? Do you have adult children? If so, what would you do? Just curious.
