This has become a disaster for the Democrats and a boon to the Romney campaign. The DNC has now added God back into their platform language after originally taking it out. They have also added language back in that says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. When they tried to change the language on the convention floor, there were boos! Oy-gevalt.
Despite the corrections by the Democrats, the Romney campaign can now argue that the Democrats don't know what they believe on two very important topics. They can also argue that the Democrats only did this because of the pushback. Thats true. The Brody File first pointed it out and the media followed, making this a story that the DNC wants to make go away. The problem is its not going away. Expect the Romney campaign to push this until Election Day. These last second changes really just make the issue worse and make the Democrat Party look bad.
In a way its unfortunate for the party because speakers at the DNC have been talking about God from the stage and there have been plenty of faith-filled events down here in Charlotte. But party officials should have known this would get scrutinized. The issue is either political malpractice or something far worse.
Here is video of the adoption of the new language. Listen to the boos.

Heres more info from Associated Press:
Democrats have changed their convention platform to add a mention of God and declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
The move came after criticism from Republicans.
Many in the audience booed after the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, ruled that the amendments had been approved despite the fact that a large group of delegates objected.
He called for a vote three times before ruling.
The party reinstated language from the 2008 platform that said "we need a government that stands up for the hopes, values and interests of working people and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential."
The platform also now includes what advisers said was Obama's personal views on Jerusalem.
That, my FRiend, may well be the understatement of the day !
Judging only by the post headers, they're in meltdown . . . eggggzellent !
again
The rat platform:
* God sucks
* Live babies suck
* Armed citizens suck
* Private property sucks
* Christians suck
* George Washington sucks
* Freedom sucks
* You suck
CNN is covering more of the platform change than the speakers...and they’re ripping the Dems to shreds over it.
Loving coverage tonight. :-)

So who was copying whom ???
Tony or John Boehner ???
Saw her on Shemp Smith's news where she denied ever saying that she dissed Israel. Said it was all a conservative plot.
Then Shemp played an audio of her saying what she denied. Word for word.
She's the best weapon the Republicans have ! (Even better than Joe Blow)
This country was founded with either tons of luck, or the help of God. Frankly, I’m not going to go with luck, as the odds are simply too long. That said, now that this country has aborted somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 million infants, in any future war, I pray God is merciful, because I can’t see us catching any breaks from him the next time.
On abortion, why aren’t the black people screaming like stuck pigs? The majority of abortions are for black mothers. Why aren’t blacks screaming genocide, when that would be the best description of what is taking place?
If it survived the Abortion attempt (and didn't die in the closet like State Senator Obama wants any Baby who survives an Abortion to do), the poor kid would be dumb as a stump.
I was angry at seeing, then hearing the president of Planned Parenthood up there talk about everything but abortion!!
It fits though, the No-God Party asks her to speak.
Then Elizabeth Warren quotes the Gospel~!!, what group, the most innocent, did you all think of... Crazy.
Matthew 25:40
And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
I DID laugh out loud!
