In just three short minutes, Democrats handed the 2012 election to Republican Mitt Romney.
In a surreal floor vote at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., at 5:04 p.m., long before prime-time viewers flipped on their TVs, delegates split — hard — on whether to include a simple mention of God in their platform, and to declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
“Awkward,” “embarrassing,” “stupid,” “unforced error,” said Democrat Paul Begala. That doesn’t even begin to capture what will be a game-changing event in the presidential election.
With no advance warning and no fanfare, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a rising star in the party, took to the podium. He gave the floor to the head of the platform-drafting committee, former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland.
“As an ordained United Methodist minister, I am here to attest and affirm that our faith and belief in God is central to the American story and informs the value we have expressed in our party’s platform,” he said. “In addition, President Obama recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and our party’s platform should as well.”
Well. The delegates voted — by yelling ‘yay’ or ‘no.’
Spotlight Mr. Villaraigosa. “In the opinion of the chair — let me do that again.”
He did. Another vote, half yay, half no.
“I, uh, I guess — ” said the by-now formerly rising party star, turning for help.
An unknown woman sidled up and told him, “You just gotta let them vote, and let them do what they’re gonna do.”
Finally, in vote 3, the “no’s” clearly won, but the teleprompter said otherwise and the motion was deemed passed: God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel were back in the party platform.

” The enemy of this country is the media.”
The Tea Party should have relentlessly picketed the major networks.
“3X just like Peter at the bonfire”
The similarity ends there however. Peter repented and wept bitterly.
How did the FOREIGNERS DEMOCRATIC REGIME come across to the american people. 1) Godless 2) Hate Israel 3) Empty Chairs with the same failed plans that have not worked for the past 4 years. This election will not be close.
AGREED
thousands of folks should have picketed the networks HQ’s and their local channel HQ’s and demand they tell the truth for once and stop telling lies or covering for the guy who they voted for.
Do we have a Wellstone moment? I expected at least one at this circus.
well, based on some of the freepers here who are reformed liberals, there may be individuals who have there Damascus Road experiences and weep and repent themselves.

My prayer was that they’d expose themselves at this convention.
Praise God.
The line in the sand was drawn.
If you choose to be a Dem after this, you’ve openly declared your opposition to God.
Everyone knows you don’t mess with God.

This is a huge conflict of interest, and pisses off all the atheist Occupy crowd.
I mean, how can the party of Degeneracy do this? The DNC is the Degenerates National Convention.
Demorats repeating, but no learning from, History.
There was another political party that abused God and didn’t want Jews on their political plaform either. It happened in Germany roughly 80 years ago.
