The Occasional Observer

The following is a video of what took place on the floor of the Dem Convention when the platform committee tried to re-insert the two "controversial" phrases they had stripped from the '08 platform:

1) that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel

2) that we have "God-given ability" (apparently the notion that God exists and/or gives us anything is objectionable)

But most of all, it's fun to watch the party of "vote early, vote often", er.... vote often.



In essence, Dem leadership figured out they screwed up in removing the language, and then tried to reinsert it, but the rank-and-file delegates apparently agreed with original version (e.g., that God and support for Israel have no place in the Dem platform).
