Shoulda just left their platform as-is.

Follow link to see the video. They took a verbal vote 3 times. You tell me if there was a 2/3 vote in the affirmative.
Delegates and members of the Democratic party booed after former Gov. Ted Strickland (D-OH) discussed God and moved to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Convention chairman Antonio Villaraigosa, mayor of Los Angeles, had to ask for the Yea and Nay vote several times before declaring the motion passed.
C-SPAN cameras captured the dissatisfaction among members after the motion passed.
Shoulda just left their platform as-is.
Damn that video was funny.
Who was the chick that came out and told him to give a big you to the half or more that opposed?
I can only hope they were booing the gigantic waste of time but then again thats pretty much the entire function of the convention.
Good. It's about time people start putting fiction where it belongs.
I like the look on the girl's face who is holding the "Arab American Democrat" sign. She's thinking "..the is this?".
Yes. They were booing God. Because another name for God is "Our Faith and Belief in God is Central to the American Story and Informs the Values We've Expressed In Our Party's Platform."
I believe He called Himself this somewhere in Leviticus.
This is in no way an oversimplified soundbytey way to report what really happened and you are in no way a moron for falling for it and reposting here.
And the Jerusalem part is obviously very important. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Can't believe people waste so much time on a imaginary man in the sky.
This country will move forward when Abrahamic religions are considered that they are, destructive.
Reports are now that Obama personally got involved to make this happen
Well, it was a nice try to keep it out of the platform but for the time being religious interests are still too strong in this country. Over the next fifteen or twenty years that will change, but for now it's definitely a necessary evil to include that message in the platform.
Quite frankly, religion doesn't belong in politics and it doesn't belong in government at all.
Rightfully so.
athiests unite
Worshipers, get on your knees
Didn't Republicans boo the golden rule when Ron Paul mentioned in one of the debates?
Who gives a ?
Oh... My... God...
It was clear the democrats do like like Israel as a majority, but the Chair would have nothing to do with it.
This is almost as bad as what the republicans did to Ron Paul.
LOL...
I noticed that too.
I can't either, but this wasn't about any God. This was bout recognizing the capital of Israel.
Hypocrites. God bless
Yeah, now that they've become taxpayer-funded coronations instead of a (small r) republican nomination process, we might as well not even have them, tbh.....

I like when Republicans pretend to care about Israel for no reason simply because that's what Republican talking heads tell them to do
Oh no, they care about Israel, firstly because it's a convenient excuse for Islamophobia and more undeclared religious/oil wars in the Middle East, and secondly, so they can hold the "anti-Semitic" smear over any Republican who doesn't fall in line with the warmongering agenda, tbh...I like when Republicans pretend to care about Israel for no reason simply because that's what Republican talking heads tell them to do
Welcome to red team, here's your bundle! Tax cuts, pro life, no gay marriage, Israel...........PUPPY!I like when Republicans pretend to care about Israel for no reason simply because that's what Republican talking heads tell them to do
