Convention Floor Erupts As Dems Restore References to God, Jerusalem In Platform

The floor of the Democratic National Convention erupted Wednesday over a sudden move to restore to the platform a reference to "God" and recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital -- after heavy criticism from Republicans for initially omitting them.

Democrats, though, were hardly in agreement over the reversal.

A large and loud group of delegates shouted "no" as convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, called for the vote late Wednesday afternoon. Villaraigosa had to call for the vote three times before ruling that the "ayes" had it. Many in the crowd booed after he determined the language would be restored.

    This convention is a riot. It's nothing but a large quantity of confused people running around in large scale disarray. I've never seen anything like it.

    It's hard to hide the truth! Tha "Nays" had it all three times, and boo'd the "Yay's" decision! Now we all know where the real Democrats stand! They are replaying this on FOX often, and it's all over the internet, in case you missed it!
