This is funny to me.

What were the schmucks thinking with all that booing over reinstating God Given back into the platform?
lol

>>This may be a good time to offer disenchanted democrats to abandon the hate of their party and join us in the rebuilding of America.<<

The beauty of this fiasco is that it gets every Democrat angry, especially since the No’s clearly had more than the 1/3 required to bury the motion, probably more than half the vote, for that matter.

So, if you’re a Dem on the AYE side, you’re angry with the No voters creating a PR nightmare (even if you have learned to tolerate atheists trying to ram their beliefs down your throat), and if you’re on the No side, you’re angry not only because the platform has now been changed to favor both the religious and Israel, but you’re doubly angry because you’re certain that the No’s had it.

So, all the Dems are angry as usual, but at each other this time. What could be more perfect? If I were in their shoes I’d just stay home Nov 6th and take my vote with me.

The lies already started. Going to rain, move to the indoors. Yeah, right, hope and change. Stop the oceans. All that crap ain’t floating. Like a Baby Ruth in a pool.

God is allowed, but it seems He must ride in the back of the bus with the white people and the jews.

There...fixed it. ;)

You laid it out nicely. I agree with you, the No’s had more than half the vote, which actually surprised me. These aren’t your father’s democrats.

Do you think it will penetrate the average dumbed down American’s thick shull (who also believes in God)
that the Rats wanted any mention of God deleted from their platform until they started catching flack for it?
(and that the reinstatement of God was met by loud boos from the Rats?)

Notice in the video the woman holding up the ‘Muslims for Obama’ sign yelling and shaking her head when the vote was reinstate God?

Video on YouTube

There's no question Tony Villar ignored the voice voice even after three attempts.

Remember, this is the party of "democracy" and "every vote should count" and all that other fluff. Even invoking Obama's name, he couldn't carry the day with the conventioneers!

Yes, we do. They WANTED to omit the reference of Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel and they WANTED to omit any reference to God. It wasn’t just an oversight, it was on purpose.

Too late. They've shown their true colors.

I like the procedure: three failed voice votes and then the amendment was deemed passed, to the outrage of the Arab-American delegates.

Hey Elizabeth Warren, that's a rigged system.

Talk about a Heavenly Gift!

Napoleon said something about not interrupting your enemy when he is making a mistake. The whole affair is a freaking catastrophe. 70% of the US population claims to be "christian" of one or another flavor. The DNC told them all to F&%K Off.

Thank You...
