Just announced on Fox News!
They don’t really mean it. It holds as much weight as Obama’s Executive Order to shore up with Stupak to pass Obamacare by restricting abortion.
Didn’t really mean it.
Obama was losing the black Christian vote and the Jewish vote. Polling poorly, had to revamp the platform.
Next week, they will be bitching about those who “cling to religion” again.
How could anyone not want to trust them and follow them loyally?
I think his flip-out helped move the Dums off the dime. To see it was going to take that much effort from a moron like Turbin to try to get godlessness over, why that's just not the Democrat way. Easier to lie about it to their followers than to their enemies!
Please post link.
They just “deemed” it passed, over the boos of the delegates. It obviously did not have 2/3rds approval.
Watch how fast the major media buries this one.
Can you just IMAGINE the hours of media coverage had the RNC done something like this?
Didn’t want to lose the Jewish vote.
It does not matter that the DNC may reinstate God for they have poked him in the eye with Gay marriage, abortion and socialism. The very fact they feel compelled to HIDE their contemp for God, Christians and by furter extenion the people of Isreal it is certain they saw polling numbers that was the only murder they worry about which is at the polls.
its now on the main page, someone beat me to it
The real story here is what a farce the voice vote of the delegates turned into. Obviously assuming that everyone would go along, they took a voice vote and the number of yeses and nos sounded virtually identical. The chair, Antonio Villaraigosa looked stunned and didn’t know what to do next. After an awkward few moments, he called for another vote, and received similar results.
Apparently, their rules required a two-thirds affirmative vote to pass the platform amendment. So, he tried a third time and upon hearing nearly the same thing again just went ahead and declared that the amendment had received a two-thirds “yes” vote and passed it. It was hilarious.
I guess he had observed Obama ruling by fiat so often that he just decided to do the same. I also guess the divided vote indicates that at least half of the delegates don’t agree with mentioning God or with declaring Jerusalem to be Israel’s capital. And I suspect most of the other half voted “yes” strictly for political perception.
It was a glorious display of the libs’ incompetence and buffoonery.
Wow!!!!!! Guess it’s ok to vote for the demonicRats, then
....
I wonder what the Democrats that voted “no” hate more: God or Jerusalem? Or both?
Whoever that Chairperson was just watched his political career go down the drain.
Barack Obama repeatedly strikes the reference to “our Creator”. He’ll Fluke this up again before election day.
Backfired big time. Must see TV:

I happened to be watching CSpan when that vote took place and the LA mayor had to keep asking form the ayes and nays since the nays were louder than the ayes, but the vote was pushed through anyway. Something Fox News left out.
