Virginia Dems Run Away From Vote to Support Israel
Free Beacon ^ | 2/17/15 | Brent Scher

Posted on 02/17/2015 9:56:17 AM PST by Nachum

Rather than voting on a resolution that encouraged support for Israel from the Commonwealth of Virginia, a group of Democrats in the state’s House of Delegates instead chose to leave the chamber for the vote.

The resolution presented by Republican Del. Brenda Pogge stated that a “cordial and mutually beneficial relationship” between Virginia and Israel should be encouraged, and also laid out the case for “Israel’s legal, historical, moral, and God-given right of 55 self-governance and self-defense throughout the entirety of its land.”

The resolution passed by a wide margin of 70-2, with a large number of Democrat members choosing to sit out from the vote by leaving the chamber. The two votes against the resolution came from Democrats Vivian Watts and Scott Surovell.

Video of the vote shows that Republicans called for another vote on the resolution once the members returned to their seats.

“Having voted on the prevailing side of the [resolution] of which we just voted, I move for another vote now that about 20 members are back in their seats over here,” said Del. Jackson Miller, a Republican from Manassas.

“Anti-Semites” we used to call them. Now they are just called Liberals.

Be careful what you wish for. The demoNazis would vote 100% to support ISIS. If only to get in good with Obama. There’s a horrible sickness within the D party nowadays. Anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, pro-IslamoNazi, anti- defense, anti-”middle class,” anti- jobs , anti- small business ( which creates most of our jobs), -— destroy everything that’s meaningful or which enables American citizens to make decent lives for oyrsmvrs and our families. Oh yeah, anti- family , anti- life , anti- women (despite any rhetoric, just look at what they do) The D party leadership needs a real cleaning- out

Either they run away or throw temper tantrums. There is no comprise in them.

Imho, denying the G-d of Abraham Isaac and Jacob at your national convention three times has consequences.

This could be a nice wedge to use against the skunks in the Democrat Party. BTW I’m going to guess that the two Democrats that voted against this are Black.

You know...the donks aren’t this firmly ideologically principled (wrong-headed as it is) without ulterior motivation. They are being paid or otherwise compensated to behave this way IMO,.....in this instance not once but twice.

Or maybe the party masters threaten them...

Despicable from the RATS. There is no compromising as far as these people are concerned. We have no loyal opposition in this nation anymore from the left, just stringent demagoguery.

There is certainly no Biblical knowledge, understanding or realization.
