Comments about ‘Democrats change platform to add God, Jerusalem’

Although I find most religion a saftey blanket that provides little more than superficial and short-lived protection from whatever they're trying to protect from, the degree to which some libs want to go(i.e. making illegal even saying the word God or even thinking about God) is hilarious.

God better watch out. Those libs are going to sue him any day now.

Wait . . . what do we need to put on the platform to win the election? Wait . . . there are how many Jews and Christians in the country? Oh yeah, we meant to have those things in there all along. Sorry Athiests and muslim brotherhood, you know we have your back when it matters as always.

xxoo

DNC

Now,

If only the GOP would change their extremist party platform to allow the right to a safe and legal abortion due;
Rape
Incest
Life and Health of the Woman
or
viability of the fetus

...then Republicans could at least be in harmony with the teaching of the LDS Church...

BTW -
Shouldn't Israel be one's declaring if Jerusalem is or is not their Capital -- and not some foregin political party [GOp or Dem]?

Silly if you ask me.

too little too late... sorry dems.

Talk about phonies, liers, BS artists and flop-floppers. They'll do anything to get a vote. I'll bet they're on the phone right now trying to get the pope to be their mystery speaker.

"i.e. making illegal even saying the word God or even thinking about God"

There are literally 0 members of the Democratic Congressional delegation that want that.

It seems that neither candidate shares the same views as their platforms. We should do away with the party system before it destroys us.It is getting worse than the Civil War days. We are letting the extremists drag us down to hell.

That's too bad, because both religion and the state of Israel seem bent on getting us into a lot of trouble.

RE: Hutterite

Israel doesn't want any trouble,

they just their own state and be safe and free from the constant bombing from islamic extremists.

They have only done what is necessary to protect themselves and thier historically God-given lands that had been taken from them millenia ago.

Totally agree. The Democrats last minute change is pandering for votes.

Kind of reminds me of the opposition presidential candidates ability to change course on a dime in order to garner votes.

Gotta love politics and politicians. NOT

They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to put God into their platform. And they wonder why they have a hard time attracting people of faith to their party. It's pathetic.

@patriot
to little to late? really? like you where going to vote for them before the platform came out and now your not? the only people that are going to care about this come november are people that would never had voted for Obama in the first place.

Both the Democratic and Republican platforms had elements that the nominees disagreed with. The difference? Obama is actually a leader within his party, so he asked them to change it, and they did. Romney is a puppet who is terrified of alienating his base, so he can't do anything about it. He's too afraid of what Rush Limbaugh will say to stand up for what he believes.

‘Democrats change platform to add God, Jerusalem’

Of course they did. Most of us jump when someone holds our feet to the fire.

How dare they! The republicans thought they had a corner on God....again.

The ultimate Flip-Flop...I got a chuckle out of this one.

Seems like to the Democrats that God, as we understand Him, was a given. They didn't mention that there would be night and morning, either. I suppose that was something to bring up. And how about what should be the capital of Switzerland? Would you like to take that one, Governor Romney? Let's see, and the world is round, did anyone mention it? But believing that one got one scientist into really deep trouble several centuries ago. I could go on and on. My point is, the things one party has taken as not needing to be said because they are woven into the fabric of general belief seem to really upset the other one. Or maybe it just wants it said in the same exact way, with the exact same words. Is that it?

"Seems like to the Democrats that God, as we understand Him, was a given."

Probably why they booed when God was invited back into their platform. No reason was given as to why He was removed in the first place.

"You really have to be dumb to be a liberal these day"

I've known for a decade (it'd be longer but I was too young to notice more than a decade ago) that the Democratic party is spineless... but I'd rather support wusses than the crazies that have taken over the Republican party.

Maybe next the Dems can include something in their platform that says, "The Office of the President is subservient to no other nation and will not bow to them."
Oh - wait. Then BO would have to step down - or at least start acting like he respected his position.
