DNC changes Platform to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel.


 
Apparently Jewish groups were up in arms that this was taken out.

1. That sounds like the republicans pushing this

Then your leadership is pretty weak if those waskly wepublicans can make them do this.

[Skul]

Damage control.

[BadCat]

They put the word "God" back too.
That'll make the DUmmies shit their panties.

Then send those Jewish voters this way.

[JohnnyReb]

Soon as the election is over they'll go back to pissing on Jerusalem.

[FlaGator]

I find it nice to know that Republicans can dictate to the dems what planks make up their platform.

[GOP Congress]

This video has been saved and will be sent to all my Jewish associates both here in the US and in Israel.

It was added with a very questionable 2/3 voice majority. This is SOOOO FUNNY TO watch....

Note how CSPAN focuses on the Soup Nazi vociferous with his NO!! vote....talk about RACIST!

THE REAL QUESTION: Which network will even mention this on their broadcast tonight?? I bet MSNBC gets NO mentions and certainly no video coverage. Had this been a GOP convention disagreement, it would have been played all freakin' night long!

The Jewish money is strong in both parties but far, far greater in the communist democrat party of America. What is truly amazing is the Jewish enablers must know that this is what is in the Communists black hearts yet they will pull the lever for Komrade Obama. Like the black vote, I do not understand how the Jews can keep voting for a party that does nothing to promote their interests. In fact, the communists are destroying both segments but when it all boils off it is all about the money. The free money for welfare and the big money for Hollywood.

33. You probably won't be pleased to know that







HR 4133 passed last spring. It states that Israel can look to the USA as the check book for anything they need related to their security. Only person in Congress who had a backbone to shout his anger abut this was Ron Paul.
For more:

Of course, we were basically doing this anyway. Just look at how we offered up some 55 to 85 billions of dollars for weaponry to the UAE states and Israel in the thirteen months from late summer 2010 to October 2011. This bill just makes that sort of thing official.

OK.  DUmp to go Ronulan.  You heard it here first.

[ROCKURWORLD]

I watched that video on Fox....I loved the look on that guy's face when he was calling the vote. noooooo they aren't a godless party at all.

[thundley4]

A source informed on the deliberations told The Huffington Post that President Obama personally interevened to strengthen the language. Speaking with HuffPost, a senior Obama administration official also confirmed the president's involvement.

Huffpo

Obama knows that his standing with Jews and Christians is very weak.  He is basically trying to kiss ass to appease the Jews. 

This kind reminds me of how some DemonRat claimed Romney would be pandering to Hispanics if he named Rubio as his VP choice.

How can this be seen as anything but pandering to the Jews?

They aren't very democratic either. There was no way that voice vote was 2/3s.

[Ballygrl]

Oh, they got the booing on video!

There is a picture at the link that shows Villagarosa, or whatever his name is was reading the teleprompter when announcing that the change passed.

[Ausonius]

Precisely: the whole schmier is not to be trusted!

This is interesting given the attitude of a certain RINO named John Boehner, who might have been quoting previous politicians, but in any case he is supposed to have said:

"Nobody reads the platform."

So the Democrats do not believe this, obviously: and why?

Is it because the platform is so full of neo-Communist garbage that striking "God"     and "Jerusalem is the capital of Israel"     would be too much even for Dems?

Beautiful find Thudley, BEAUTIFUL!  I watched and the nays were at least 65% of the vote. Nothing democratic, nothing liberal to these people.

[Kyle Ricky]

All the pressure they were getting from the MSM, except MSNBC, got to them. FoxNews.com said tonight that obama even wanted God put back in, and Jerusalem to be recognized as the capital. I don't know whether to believe that. But in any case, the DNC caved under the pressure again.

[ExGeeEye]

OK, if it keeps them out of here.

So, the vote was definitely 'fixed', and the result was pre- determined, AND the morons at the DNC were stupid enough to stick it on a teleprompter ?

I don't think an entire army of 'light workers' can undo this..

This is a win win situation when you think about it.  IF it does rain Sandy Obama will be all washed up.  Think about that for a graphic take away.  I'm melting, I'm melting.  

Matthew 7:24-27
New International Version (NIV)
 
The Wise and Foolish Builders

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Those teeth are frightening.

Whatever they did after the fact, the DNC is telegraphing some very interesting consequences of a second 0bama term.
