Dems Boo Putting God Back in Party Platform

3 Times Obama Tried To Put God in Platform And 3 Times Delegates To DNC Shouted ‘No!’

BATON ROUGE — The spectacle of an American political party voting against God is unthinkable.

Yet, that’s what happened at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina — not once but three times.

It was, or should be, the death knell of the Democratic Party.

Did you watch what happened on television?  If not, you should watch it on www.youtube.com.  It can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUJE9YfsbNQ

What happened?  It seems the Democratic National Convention left out any mention of God in the Democratic Platform.  So President Obama, not wanting to be criticized for leaving God out of their fine document, sent word that God should be inserted into the Platform.

Acting on behalf of the President, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland moved to suspend the rules and insert a mild reference to God into the Platform.

Convention chairman and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa called for the yeas and the nays.  A two-thirds’ vote was required.

In a rare unscripted moment, a majority of the delegates clearly voted NO and made the amazing statement that they didn’t want any reference to God in their Platform.  It was obvious Villaraigosa thought delegates didn’t understand.   So he restated the question and once again called for the yeas and the nays.

Once again, a majority of the delegates voted NO!

Villaraigosa threw up his hands and appeared to be giving up on the matter.  Clearly, there was nothing like a two-thirds’ vote for including God in the Platform. In fact, there wasn’t even a majority.

Villaraigosa staggered around, conferred with one of his advisers and called for the vote again, pleading for a yes vote.  Then, for the third straight time, the Democrats rejected God and shouted NO!

This time Villaraigosa ignored their shouts and declared that the amendment had passed.

From the convention floor, delegates roundly booed the ruling.

It was a stunning moment.

The Democratic Party is so far gone that its convention is made up of radical leftists (like Obama) and even farther-left radical nut-jobs.

And these are the people who would govern America?

Any party that rejects God not once but three straight times is a disgrace and so far out of the mainstream of American thought that it cannot be taken seriously.

I cannot believe that the American people would stoop to supporting this party in November.

If they do, our days as a free people surely are numbered.

So we must work tirelessly from now to Nov. 6 to make sure that these people are removed from the White House and the halls of power in Congress.  We must not sit on the sidelines but stand up for America!
