Joel B. Pollak
Against clear evidence to the contrary, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa declared that proposed amendments to the Democratic Party platform--re-inserting “God” and a commitment to Jerusalem as Israel’s capital--had passed with the necessary two-thirds majority.
It was fraud, pure and simple; even CNN wasn’t buying it.
Nonetheless, Democrats and their allies continue to insist that voter fraud is something that never happens.
The NAACP, for instance, has just issued a statement declaring: “There's a greater chance of being struck by lightning” than that voter fraud will occur in a federal election.
(Not the best analogy, given that one of the excuses for moving President Barack Obama’s speech indoors was the supposed threat of lightning.)
Yet Americans witnessed fraud in broad daylight at the Democratic National Convention. The cause may have been just; the changes may have been good and necessary; but the fact was that the amendments did not pass by voice vote, and the delegates ought to have taken a roll call vote.
The country deserves to know whether Democrats support their own declared policies and which Democrats, in particular, support or oppose them.
The potential for fraud--and the actual commission of fraud--occurs far more often than Democrats want to admit.

Brilliant insight...thanks for posting.
So was this on the front page to the NY Slimes, Chicago Herald, Washington Com-Post?
Fraud coming from the fraudulent party with the fraudulent president?
Go figure.
A role call vote on that would have been really nice.
Zero would have voted Present...
Both parties need to figure out a way to efficiently hold a role call vote at their conventions. When the Republicans did the same thing over party rules, there were calls for a roll call that were ignored. And one of the reasons is they estimated it would be a 3 hour delay to implement a role call vote.
Without an efficient (Prob electronic) method of polling votes, they are both limited to voice votes and subjective interpretation of the results.
Who cares? Screw 'em.
A less time consuming process would be to caucus and vote. Allow say 20 minutes for state delegations to caucus. Then the vote would be called with each delegation casting one vote. You could do the whole thing in a half hour.
It would be very similar to the representative nature of the U.S. Senate.
The speaker was trying to tell the delegates that this is what Obama wants
Didn’t matter
Some leader that Obama
That had to have irked Obama no end
If Villaraigosa was wearing a beret in that pic I’d guess he’s saying, “All is well.” :-)
There is just one problem with what you suggest.
Suppose they did take a half hour to have the states caucus and then proceed to a vote. What would they do when the motion didn’t get the 2/3 required to make the change to the platform????
You’re right. My suggestion is a problem, it forces people to be honest and follow rules. They can’t have that in the Democrat Party, ever.

True. But the 'vote' was only for 'show'. The DECISION had already been made. Rules and regulations are merely things that they find ways to work-around so they can retain POWER and WEALTH.
It would be very similar to the representative nature of the U.S. Senate.
If the representative nature of the Senate was not filled with corrupt practices.
Democrats and their allies continue to insist that voter fraud is something that never happens.
RIGHT!!! That’s why 30,000 dead voters where found in North Carolina and Democrats are screaming they can’t be removed before the election.
NOTE: There is an app for hand held devices that show where registered Democrats live. Use it near cemeteries and then tell yourself that voting fraud does not exist.
LOL, “nothing to see here, move along”.
Bagboy Tony. :-)
And the press didn't make a fuss either...
If had kind of fraud had happened at the Republican convention it would have been front page above the fold... I didn't even see it in my paper...
