GODGATE: DEMS In UPROAR Over “GOD” Being Included in Platform!
Democrats were in an uproar today because the party re-introduced “God” and “Jerusalem” in their party platform after it was widely reported yesterday that they had been exempted. Watch the video below to see how the Democrats, with La Raza racist scoundrel and Aztec high priest Antonio Villaraigosa presiding, push on despite it being obvious that they don’t have enough votes.
Hmmmm. Sounds like.. FASCISM!
UPDATE
This has thrown the Democrat party into a whirlwind of spinning like a drunk Kennedy, and it’s amazing to watch:
You can see the fear in her bovine eyes as she starts speaking very slowly and deliberately, making sure to stick to her statement and not actually answer the question… because that would be embarrassing.
Even CNN’s Anderson Cooper described her as living in an “alternate reality”:
Here’s another from Yahoo News, where Debbie rejects reality. Although Jon Karl acts like an Obama bootlicker, as are most from Yahoo, Debbie says of the debacle, “there was no fight at all, essentially it was a technical correction.”
It appears that the reasoning behind this was for the Democrats to be able to slam Romney for not personally adopting all the provisions in the Republican platform, as this has been a criticism Debsters lobbed at the campaign during the convention.
They most likely adopted this strategy and then realized that the press surrounding “God” and “Jerusalem” in the platform would come back to bite them. Thus the spinning and twirling, twirling!
So that didn’t work out too well…
UPDATE
Another one, surprisingly, from Soledad O’Brien with Little Debsters. This video supports some of my suspicions, as Debsters pushes back on David Frum with exactly the criticism against Romney I referred to above:
“The reason what you’re saying is so non-credible, is that we all know that President Obama does not feel strongly about Jerusalem. He walked back his AIPAC speech in2008, in his Middle big Middle East status speech, he made a commitment on borders, he did not make a commitment to Jerusalem…. That’s why this is explosive.”

Here are some tweets from reporters watching the crazy event unfold:
Villaraigosa: "In the opinion of the chair, two thirds having voted in the affirmative." Villaraigosa looked confused-did not sound like it.

Villaraigosa read this initially and looked confused, and stopped, bc obviously it didn't sound like he had it. http://t.co/W70O5sSD

A California delegate just told me she screamed “yes” on the platform vote and found the loud no votes on Israel “disturbing”

"God" and "Jerusalem" return to the Democratic Platform. after Democrats deny either omission was a thing
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) September 5, 2012
If Democrats think that platform vote was two thirds, no wonder we can't trust them with the budget. #MATH

Did delegates who shouted "no" object to platform change on Jerusalem, or adding God back into platform?

RT @edstetzer: Democrats put "God" & "Jerusalem" back in party platform. Is this an attempt to woo dispensationalists? #DNC2012

That Jerusalem platform vote put the Democrats at odds with both the White House and their own delegates. http://t.co/8ekvN6P4

Wait, so now Dems love God again?

By voice votes, Democrats restore references to "God" and "Jerusalem" to their party platform. Some boos were heard at the votes.

Dems have applauded Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter but booed God.

In the Democrat party, Obama has to pull strings for GOD:
