Big News about the DNC Platform

The **** hit the fan when it got out that the DNC omitted the word God and Jerusalem as Isreals capital so they came back in today and reinstated the word God and put Jerusalem back in.

WOW they just showed the vote on reinstating the wording and it was clear they did not get the 2/3 vote to change the wording back to include God or Jerusalem as Israels capital back into their platform. The NO's were as loud if not louder than the Yes vote and they judge to put the wording back in.

The party elites clearly did not like the backlash they got on the new platform wording and wanted to stop the exit of supporters.

If they show this is how they run their convention and corrections to their Official Platform on National TV what does it say for the way they are running things behind the scenes. Behind the closed doors. I can see why you will get a comment from a Democrat and hours later they come back out and BACKTRACK on their previous statements.

That is what you find with the liberals, they are reactionary.

Just like on here they always jump on somerthing if they smell blood. They go of on a rant and then should have to eat their words but instead just slither back in their hole.

On the National level it proved to be the same thing.

They saw this omission would be trouble with the majority of the population
and did damage control . The delegates voted the wrong way. (True colors!)
So it was passed by exec. order. (sound familiar?) So now everything is FIXED
(sound familiar?)

They say Obama is taking credit for getting the wording back in the Platform. I believe that the delegates voted no and he said to bad I won I write the rules. The yes have it.

Just like when the Supreme court said no to his moritorium on Off Shore drilling and he said to bad I'm going to do it anyway.

Just like when the Congress said no to the Dream Act and he said to bad I need the latino votes so I'm setting US law aside and allowing them to stay.

If anyone dares to stand in his way and threaten his ability to get re-elected well to bad Obama is the boss and what he wants goes. Delelgates be damned. Unions be damn. Congress be damn, the Supreme Court be damn, and Voters be damned. Obama is the Dictator in Chief

In one camera shot one guy shouting NO long and loud was wearing a Teeshirt that said "Arab Democrats for Obama".

Yep he stood up and yelled no and when the Yes got the 2/3s needed he was shocked and showed he DISAGREED WITH THE CHAIRMAN'S CALL.

He should have walked up and called for a roll call to prove once and for all to see the Leftwingnuts of the party are out in full force at the Convention and they do not support Israel or GOD.

And they don't hide it and the libtards don't even care either.

So do you think that US citizens of Arab descent should not be allowed to belong to a political party? Not be allowed to vote?


Maybe we should have removed this plaque from the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island, New York City, New York, U.S.... :???:


The New Colossus


Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

The funny thing about the whole convention is that the elftwingernuts kept saying the Reps had problems. They might have but not like the leftwingernuts are.

The blame game will start soon in their ranks.

Are they willing to assimilate and accept our judicial system and laws or is it their aim to alter our pre-existing system to fit their purposes?

DNC Delegates Revolt Against Vote To Recognize Jerusalem As Israeli Capital In Platform

DNC Chairman Antonio Villaraigosa then called for a voice vote on the motion. But it didn’t go as smoothly as expected.

The aye’s and no’s were so evenly matched that Villaraigosa had to take the vote two times before the commissioner stepped up to intervene. A befuddled Villaraigosa took the vote once more before making a judgment call and ruling “aye” to officially add the amendment to the platform.

Arab DNC Delegate Outraged Jerusalem Was Restored To Party Platform…

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The president of a top Arab American group is lashing out at the 11th hour political maneuvering that restored language about Israel capital to the Democratic convention platform — calling the move “insulting to my community.”

“I think it was embarrassing,” Zogby said. “What bothers me is the way it was done.”

Democrats had initially dropped some language dating to 2008 about Jerusalem in their 2012 platform — but restored it on a quick voice vote Wednesday.

While two-thirds of the delegates were required to vote in the affirmative, there was significant opposition on the floor to the resolution — which also restored the word God to the platform. The DNC held the voice vote three times, before declaring it passed without a roll call. That news was met with boos from delegates across the convention hall.

Zogby said about his Arab American constituency: “They’re upset. They’re upset with me. They’re upset with us. They’re upset with the president.”

Arab or American

Don't use dual loyalty crap, it doesn't wash.

That include American Indians (Native Americans).. Are you going to question their loyalty too... Maybe they should have had a stronger Immigration law back there 500 years ago... :wink: :lol:

For hundreds of years immigrants have been identified that way- (Irish Americans, Italian Americans, German Americans, etc. etc.)....In our area many of the communities are still identified due to their old immigrant nationalities....

I doubt you see the point of the discussion...

by dropping God from the DNC platform the DNC alienated the Jewish and Christian American voters.

by dropping the support of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel the further alienated the Jewish Americans

the DNC had two choices. alienate the Jewish and Christian vote or alienate the Arab American vote..

and now the Arab Americans are fuming.. and the Christians and Jewish still feel slighted by the first omission... and the atheists are now alienated as well..

given the touchiness of the Arabs as a community.. I doubt thy will forget..


a very decisive decision that was not needed.. had the liberals just left well enough alone.. :? :shock: something they can't seem to do.. :?

seems now the only group not ------ off at the DNC is the GOP...

I'm shocked that anyone is surprised that the dems want to remove the generic use of the word god from their platform. They removed God from their policies years ago.
