After they took heat for omitting any reference to "God" in their platform, and for eliminating language from the 2008 platform that identified Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Democrats tried to add the language back into their party platform with a voice vote. But when Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the convention chairman, came to the podium to ask for the approval of the delegates, those who shouted opposition to the language change were as loud, if not louder, than those who voiced their support.

Even though the no's were again as loud if not louder than the aye's on the third vote, Villaraigosa said he had determined that two thirds of those present had voted in favor. Boos filled the arena in response.

Remember when George W Bush was looking for WMDs in his office...under the desk, behind the drapes..For WMDs soldiers in Iraq were being blown to bits looking for. I cringed at the callousness, I felt sick to my stomach. GOD KNOWS how the parents of these dead sons and daughters felt, how the wife or husband felt. Do these people even fog a mirror? They are morally bankrupt and totally unfit to govern.
