so much for Democrats and Democracy.....

Listen to the voice vote (would have been a no-brainer for the GOP, by the way). Do you really think the vote was a two-thirds majority???

It was simply a politically expedient "vote."

Sure... wouldn't want those uppity Jews to get out of hand... would we Bud?

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa "needs to get his hearing checked" that's why he needed a double do over before he ignored at least half of the delegates and jammed the DNC's ultimate agenda down their throats.

If that isn't a demonstrations of the DNC's ultimate agenda then I don't know what is; "Sit down, shut up, and hand over your money because only the Government knows what's best for you and the Mother land!"

Otis - agree with you on this one ---

It'd be no surprise to me were the GOP to push this agenda (a voice vote would have been no contest with them). What surprised me is the way the chair ignores the "no" votes.

Yes, I happened to notice the Jerusalem vote because it's a topic of interest to me (the west bank is not part of Israel the last time I checked). It's clear this vote was decided before it was taken.

That's not really my idea of democracy.

I heard Obama intervened.

Obama intervened on DNC platform, campaign officials say

President Obama personally intervened to order Democrats to change language in their party platform to add a mention of God and declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, campaign officials said Wednesday.

AP, CNN and others reported the same.

I think the interesting thing is that the HMFIC's that write the platform decided to p*ss on God and Jews and that there was not a 2/3'rds majority of the rank and file on the floor to overrule.

They are showing their colors and then running away as fast as possible.

A video that aired Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention proclaiming that “government is the only thing that we all belong to” is getting strong reaction from conservatives, and the Obama campaign is disavowing involvement in the production, BuzzFeed reports.

The video, entitled “Welcome to Charlotte,” includes other proclamations like: “We do believe you can use government in a good way.”

Conservatives took to Twitter on Tuesday to denounce the video. Mitt Romney tweeted: "We don't belong to government, the government belongs to us." Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, had a one-word reaction to the video: “WOW.” Pundit David Gergen noted: “quote may set off the right.”

An Obama aide emailed BuzzFeed disavowing involvement in the video:"..................
