Voice vote - do it again - do it again - just fucking do it the way we wanted to begin with, regardless of the vote.

Even as AIPAC and it's bought and paid-for puppets try to manipulate the US into another insane war on Israel's behalf in Iran ........ a war that neither the American people nor the Israeli people, nor any one else wants.

Is there anyone left in the US who puts US interests ahead of its "ungrateful ally's" interests?

First, democracy as defined (or our constitution) makes no mention of something called political parties. So the OP is a ruse from the start.

Second, which is a worse example of party power, a disagreement over how the platform treats Israel or the repubs making damn sure Ron Paul and his followers are wasting their time because he and they...will go absolutely nowhere ?

I'll take the former anytime and every time.

No rob, people said BEFORE the convention that it looked like a floor fight might ensue. Silencing duly elected delegates and preventing a man with a significant percentage of votes from ever speaking curtailed that floor fight. Everybody gets that ... well almost.

Significant? Really? Ron Paul is a fringe nominee, always has been, always will be. I am however amused by the left defending him now, after they completely trashed him in March... Remember his "racism"?

Paul is a member of the same fringe as Nader... The only people who care about his opinions, are his minuscule amount of believers, and the opposition hoping he'll make waves in the GOP because Obama needs all the help he can get.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-stewart-lauds-bill-clintons-amazing-display-of-actually-saying-stuff/

...Before getting to last night’s speeches, Stewart addressed the controversy over the Democratic platform omitting language about God and Jerusalem, saying that God isn’t so petty that he immediately “freaks out” if you don’t mention him. Naturally, the Democrats stood by their platform 100 percent… except for when they did a complete 180 yesterday. Stewart found it particularly ridiculous that despite the fact that the vote looked “dead-even” from the delegates, the motion passed anyway.

Why is the religious vote always such a doppelganger for so many?

Why can't you just look past it?

You don't believe? Vote against it?

Believe....vote for it.

Done.

As an outsider to the US system, that was an absolute disgrace. The "No" vote clearly won on every occassion.

So.....disregard.

(Pretty simple shit).

Delete...move forward.

Doesn't get much simpler than that.

Of course, forgive me....I use my brain....I don't presume I have to take everything someone tells me as Gospel.

Yeah...well....that's the way it (can) work(s).
