IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY UNSCRIPTED MOMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. THE PLATFORM HAD LEFT OUT ANY MENTION OF GOD AND JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL. SO THE OBAMA TEAM CALLED FOR A FLOOR VOTE TO AMEND THE PLATFORM. THE RULES SAY A TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY IS REQUIRED. THERE WERE THREE AUDIBLE VOTES. NONE REACHED THE TWO-THIRDS LEVEL, BUT THE PRESIDER DECLARED THEY HAD AND SLAMMED THE GAVEL DOWN.
CLEARLY THE DEMOCRATS WERE EMBARRASED, BUT IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER. DO YOU THINK GOD IS IMPRESSED BY A POLITICAL PLATFORM THAT INCLUDES ABORTION ON DEMAND AND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, NOT TO MENTION DEBT AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. NOT HAVING GOD IN THIS PLATFORM WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE WITH ME.
AND WHILE I’M ON THE SUBJECT, COULD WE ASK POLITICIANS TO STOP ENDING THEIR SPEECHES WITH “GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA”? AGAIN, IT’S MEANINGLESS. WHY SHOULD GOD BLESS AMERICA WHEN WE ARE SO CLEARLY OUT OF HIS WILL. WHAT’S WRONG WITH “THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND GOODNIGHT.” SO, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND GOODBYE FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA. I’M CAL THOMAS.

I would have been ok if they had left God out completely as well. No need to besmirch his name.
I see this election being between good and evil. Sort of like Stephen Kings "The Stand". America is so divided and I'm no longer sure what it will take to get us back on track.
Abortion and gay marriage are trivial civil issues which should be have no place in a national election.
How about the fact that two months ago Ron introduced legislature to prohibit the United States from funding the Free Syrian Army who comprises of members from Al-Qaeda. Only to be shot down.
...The same group every media outlet is blaming from the dead Ambassador.
