Dems Struggle to Explain Fight Over God
George Washington, first President of the U.S., clearly told us, "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
It's funny but it appears that the Dems at the DNC would have booed President Washington off the stage.
If you haven't seen the video clip of the Democrats asking for 'yea' or 'nay' on whether to have 'God' and 'Jerusalem' inserted into their platform, you can watch it here;

It is very obvious that it was not a 2/3 majority when the yelling started, but was pushed through anyway...and the crowd started booing at the DNC.
Immediately after the vote late Wednesday afternoon, platform committee head and former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland told Fox News the move was merely a "clarification" and not an "error."
But President Obama's deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter contradicted that in an interview Thursday morning with Fox News, as she explained how Obama personally intervened to restore those references.
"They were a mistake and he said we've got to fix it," she said. "President Obama didn't agree with the platform. He sought to change it."
Meanwhile, delegates who objected called the process unfair.
Rashida Tlaib, a member of the Michigan delegation and the state's House of Representatives, told Fox News that delegates had been "shammed" because it was clear the party did not have the votes to change back the language. Tlaib called it "irresponsible" and "wrong."
"It failed twice, and for whatever reason it still failed but was still pushed through," Tlaib said, referring to the three votes that were called during the brief but chaotic procedural move.
