Dems Actually Boo as Party Reinstates Jerusalem and God Language into DNC Platform

Democrats Reinstate Jerusalem and God Language into DNC Platform Despite Booing

Attendees voice their opposition to Democratic Party platform changes reinserting language supporting Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and a reference to God.

With heavy booing from dissenters, the Democratic National Convention voted Wednesday to reinstate language supporting Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to restore a reference to God in its party platform.

DNC Chairman and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa conducted a voice vote of the delegates on the proposed platform changes, asking for yeses and nos three times because of how similar the responses sounded. A two-thirds vote was required to adopt the change. Despite clear opposition, Villaraigosa declared the amendment had passed, prompting loud booing.

The changes reinstated language from the 2008 platform that said “we need a government that stands up for the hopes, values and interests of working people and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential” and of Jerusalem, “it is and will remain the capital of Israel.”

According to the Associated Press, President Barack Obama personally intervened to get the platform changed back.

Democrats had been sharply criticized for not including the language, including by fellow party members. Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan said on Fox News that removing the Jerusalem language was “a tragedy” that served to “undermine our nation’s support for Israel.” Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said omitting God “suggests a party that is increasingly out of touch with the mainstream of the American people.”

The Jerusalem issue came after the Obama administration’s refusal to say flat-out whether the city is the Jewish state’s capital, then saying it could be through negotiations.

“Mitt Romney has consistently stated his belief that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel,” Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement after Wednesday’s vote. “President Obama has repeatedly refused to say the same himself. Now is the time for President Obama to state in unequivocal terms whether or not he believes Jerusalem is Israel’s capital.”

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said reinstating the platform language reflected “the policy of both Republican and Democratic administrations for decades.”

Noor Ul-Hasan, a Muslim delegate from Salt Lake City, Utah, told the Associated Press she felt the language went against the principle of the separation of church and state.

“There are people who don’t believe in God and you have to respect that as well,” Ul-Hasan said. She also questioned the process by which the platform was amended. “There was no discussion. We didn’t even see it coming. We were blindsided by it.”

Angela Urrea, a delegate from Roy, Utah, was similarly dismayed there was no discussion of amending the platform after it was approved Tuesday.

“The majority spoke last night,” Urrae said, noting the platform was approved Tuesday. “We shouldn’t be declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.”

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

      You are mostly right, FROGG. I have aunts and cousins that are yellow dog Democrats and will vote for Obama because he’s a Democrat and they think Republicans are evil. My mom, however is smarter than the average Democrat, though she had been one until 2008. She now realizes the only hope for the country is to vote a Republican in. She commented there’s not much difference between her and a Republican anymore.

I would not touch a Democrat today with a 10 foot pole. It does not matter what Obama, Reed, Pellosi or Blabbermouth Schultz says – this is still One Nation under One God. God is in control! We don’t take our next breath unless he says so. Deal with it!

      There was Mitch calling for the aye and no votes at the same time,concerning Paul Ryan for VP.
      I saw so such pettiness and child-like behavior when it came to Ron Paul,they wouldn’t even mention his name from the podium during the casting of delegate votes.What about all the other BS that went down there?

      Where’s all the outrage about that?
      It that all just business as usual at the RNC?

      No matter what they say!

      The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 is a public law of the United States passed by the 104th Congress on October 23, 1995. It was passed for the purposes of initiating and funding the relocation of the Embassy of the United States in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no later than May 31, 1999, and attempted to withhold 50 percent of the funds appropriated to the State Department specifically for ‘‘Acquisition and Maintenance of Buildings Abroad’’ as allocated in fiscal year 1999 until the United States Embassy in Jerusalem had officially opened. The act also called for Jerusalem to remain an undivided city and for it to be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel. Israel’s declared capital is Jerusalem, but this is not internationally recognized, pending final status talks in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The United States has withheld recognition of the city as Israel’s capital. The proposed law was adopted by the Senate (93–5) and the House (374–37).

      Actually declaring the Jerusalem the capital of Israel presents a huge barrier for the elusive goal of peace in the Middle East, something that is the best interest of the US. That’s why Bush opposed the idea, as well as Clinton. In other words that’s contrary to the position the US has taken for the last 20 years. But that’s not my point.

      I’ll give Republicans credit, they get in line. Apparently no one objected to the Republican platform which calls for no exceptions for abortion, including in cases of rape, incest or the life of the mother. Sounds good maybe to you guys, but think about how you’d feel if it was your wife or child? You’d let your wife die? You’d force your 12 year old to bear the child of her uncle? Don’t say it doesn’t happen please!

      FOX blew it off, saying, well, Romney doesn’t believe that. That’s convenient. Let’s see what the pundits over there say about this.

      Everyone on here, I think you are missing the biggest point of all in this!!! The chair ignored the will of the delegates and just did what they wanted to do. It does not matter if you agree or do not agree with the rule changes, the delegates were ignored.
      The RNC did the same thing to the delegates in Tampa!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKaXqoC4DjE&feature=youtu.be
      What is going on here?? We need to stop!!! We need to see what is going on!!! Both parties are doing what they want with no regard to the peoples voice!! Are you guys on here alright with that? What is wrong with the American people? You all are so afraid that Obama is going to make us a socialist nation, you are missing the fact that the Republican Party is doing the same thing. When are we going to fight back? The way we fight back is to elect a third party and the third party at this point in the game is the Libertarian Party. Put your differences aside, look at the platform of the Libertarians so you can see that they are the only ones at this point that has FREEDOM in their platform.
      Libertarian philosophy is closer to the what Republicans used to be until we voted in all these power hungry progressives. Think about it hard and long. We have the power to stop this madness, if we get our acts together and vote to Live Free. http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/

      @CultureWarriors, So you think that Obama is the only one responsible for the debt? Granted that while he has been president the debt has risen sharply, but remember that for half the time, Republicans have been in control of the house. Let us stop and quit listening to all the rhetoric. The problem is on both sides. The problem is we have Republicans that are not truly serious about reducing anything.

      I say, let us send a message to the single party system (Republican and Democrat) that we are not going to take it anymore, vote for a party that will honor freedom and vote in Gary Johnson. Then all of us join this new party and find good “real” conservative candidates to run in it and change our country back to what made it great in the first place. We can do this as “We the People ” are in charge and all the representatives in our government are our employees. It is time to fire our employees, every last one of them and start new. This can be done. What you can conceive and believe, you can achieve.

      Rottie, the SORO’s owned SPANISH company is called SCYTL and this snopes link has an article about it, BUT SNOPES is a far-left site just like a lot of our fact-check links that have been proven to LIE. Do your own reserch. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS ARTICLE IN SNOPES. http://www.snopes.com/politics/ballot/scytl.asp

      Right on! The Dem. Party no longer represents the free minded liberals. Obama has converted them to socialism (at its best) and holds the ideals of radical muslimism (at its worst).

      Notice the two Commie Muslims in the picture? That’s who really supports obama – one Terrorist supported by other Terrorists! This is the real reason they want God and Israel out of their platform. The Muslims hate them both!

      Hey, time will tell…but, remember a short 4 years ago the majority of the American people voted for “hope and change”….well, now there is disillusion on some folk’s minds regarding the fact that a description of the “hope and change” was never given. They voted like children…on an emotion and caught up in the moment. Well, listen carefully….same goes for Romney. A lot of rhetoric is going around without any commitment, guys. If we stay polarized, and vote only for a party, we’re doing ourselves a disservice. Romney isn’t God anymore than Obama is God. They’re both flawed. It’s a matter of voting for the man with the fewest flaws, not condemning one party or other. That just shows your ignorance. Mark my words, I’ve spent months searching news on the internet from around the world, not just our local cable news that is bought by one party or another and spoon feeds us what they want us to know. We as a sovereign nation as it was founded is doomed. We are the generation that will see BIG CHANGE. And the labor pains we are going through now are just that. In the end America will give birth to a new government that is NOT “of the people, by the people and for the people”. The Constitution is slowly being shredded, as you know. It will continue. The One World Government that George HW Bush spoke of, and Bill Clinton, and Obama (check past speeches)…WILL occur! Both parties are aimed there. So ya better just sit back and take the ride.

      I would also add it appears that a large Islamic supporting contingent is also present @ the DNC. Our Judeo-Chritian Valures are under attack. The ZOG, Nazi Extremists are supportive of the anti-Israel Muslims. That Historical connection is still alive and well. We as a Free Country are in Jeopardy if we allow this uncontrolled immigration of anti-American minions of the left.

      @yougottabekidding, You gotta be kidding! A vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Gary Johnson. The Libertarian Party seems to be the only ones truly talking about limited government. fiscal responsibility and freedom (Tea Party platforms). The DNC and the RNC seem to just ignore their delegates and do what they want, talk about socialistic that you seem to be afraid of.
      RachaelAdams just above is right in her assessment that we are heading for big change of a socialistic nature backed by the establishment of both parties. If you want to stop this madness into the dark realm of total government, you need to look at a third party, we all need to look at a third party. The only reason that a third party has a hard time getting the numbers is because a lot of people are like you. Just follow what the party says because you feel they must be more intelligent than you, but this is a fallacy. You are probably more intelligent than most in Washington, you just are brainwashed into thinking the other side is the bad guy, so you do not even bother looking at your side to see if they are the bad guy also. Did you look at my links in the posts above? Are you OK with having rule changes, against the voice of the people, against the Tea Party principles, that take our power in the elections away? If so, maybe you should search your soul to decide if you like freedom, or if you like socialism.

      So true. Acknowlege God for votes but do not follow His laws for living such as “not murdering innocents”.
      The DNC already told the truth to start with and that is what the country will inherit if O is reelected.
      Israel just inherits death and destruction. “The DNC. Working toward a totalitarian secular future for those of you who agree with us and the end of those who do not.”

    Wow! That was interesting. Just happened to see the vote on CSPAN. At least through the t.v. sound, sure seemed like the delegates clearly said “NO” to the amendments proposed (about God and Jerusalem). Guess the Republicans aren’t the only ones with party establishment at their convention. Will be interesting to see how this is reported. Hope TheBlaze puts up a video so everyone can listen for themselves. The teleprompter assumed it would be adopted and the chairman had to stop himself when he realized he couldn’t say it was an obvious 2/3 affirmative.

      Definitely there was that moment when the “no” sounded loud and strong as opposed to the “yes” he was even confused as where to go from there.

      Even if it had been a 2/3 majority that audibly voted yes, the story could still read “One third of DNC delegates reveal themselves to be godless Jew haters”. It was more than half that voted no. Think about that America. More than 50% of the delegates representing YOU (if you’re a democrat) at the DNC don’t want anything to do with GOD, and want to keep Israel under the bus that Barry threw them under.

      I am an American Jew who lives overseas. The only reason why I want Obama to win is because he is so evil that he is the 11th horn in the Book of Daniel. The End Time prophetic scenario would unfold, and we could get this over and done with once and for all. Don’t worry though, when I vote absentee, I am voting for Romney on my Missouri ballot….even if it looks pretty clear that the Obamanation that makes desolate is going to win.
