Default The DNC doesn't know what democracy means

Check this out if you haven’t seen it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTc5rhkoy7s

The Democrats were to change their platform yesterday, and the chairperson pointed out that a 2/3 majority was needed.

He took a voice vote 3 times and then announced, “In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it.”

With a simple majority, you could likely call it either way if it sounds close. But for 2/3, there had better be an audible volume difference in the voice vote.

I’d love to see a decibel meter on this. The important part is that if a vote is not counted, if the objective criterion for the decision is not followed, then the result is arbitrary and not a vote at all – tyranny.

It will be funny to see the liberal condescension that ensues in defense of this practice.

Following the purposeful omission of God and Jerusalem in all speeches the night before, as part of the Stalinesque democratic platform; the catholic host for the convention as hard as he might executing the classic flip-flop, could not get a 2/3rds (actually couldn’t even get a simple majority) of democratic delegates to go along and amend the democratic platform to include God and accept Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel. So he undemocratically acknowledged the false affirmation of the delegates despite, actually in spite of their nays. Iran, the muslim brotherhood, palestine and al qaeda must all be smiling this morning.

I do applaud the Dems who nayed and booed in NC for at least being honest and showing their true colors as godless anti-Semites and affirming my decision to support anyone but them!

I would suggest the President wear his cup tonight as he straddles the hypocrisy fence once again. I will applaud him if he will simply come out of the closet and admit he’s been a nay all along as well. Bring back Rev. Wright for one of his radical, racial anything but religion rants and close with a bang. Maybe even bring out Auntie Obama and tell her to her face, “I don’t know you and don’t want to know you biatch.” Then look into the camera and say “that’s what I think about family, suckers!”

Do I need to be on a shrum or acid trip to have an inkling what you are trying to say?

Google 'How an alternator works to charge a battery' and you may be able to say no to the drugs.

you mean the ones who believed in freedom of religion?

"When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not care to support it, so that its professors are obliged to call for the help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one."

-Ben Franklin

He'd be rolling in his grave alright... just not for the same reason you think, Dell.
