of attacks, probably from both sides, but I have to say that I disagree with the Democrats amending the party platform. I am not anti-God, Christian, Muslim, Jew, etc., nor am I anti-atheist or any other religion or nonreligion. I am for separation of church and state, complete separation. Somewhere along the line influential people who believed their religion was best put God on our currency and added it to the POA. This is not what our forefathers intended and I think it was political and cowardly for the president to cave and insist the language be put back in.

Also, I think ensuring our complete support of Israel, which I agree with, does not need to include where we think their capital should be. Who the heck made that a priority?

I needed to get that off my chest.

I agree with you although my feelings are not strong on this - sm

This is what I think draws people to the Democratic party. There is more than 1 viewpoint to any plank in the platform. Unlike the Republicans, people are not thrown out of the party if the do not agree with every blasted thing. I am not all that concerned about "wording" as it relates to Israel. I do wish that we had gone to a single-payer health system. I would like to see a hard line taken against assault weapons being available for every nutcase who can purchase them. I am for the Dream Act. The Democrats may not be able to wave a magic wand and make it happen overnight, but I am happy with all the little steps being accomplished towards the goal.

I agree - anon

I am an Independent who will be voting for the Democratic ticket this time for the fact that the tea party and the evangelicals have taken over the Republican party. There's no room for compromise with these people in charge, and that's to the detriment of our country as a whole.

I agree with you... - SK1

I don't have a problem with leaving those items out, but didn't like at all their rush to put it back in. I also didn't like the way the "vote" went. If they had a clear 2/3 vote, I'm a size 6. There should be some mighty upset delegates.

Since you cite our forefathers, - they relied on God, most particularly in the polit

The Declaration of Independence cites "Nature's God", man's "Creator," "Providence," a "firm reliance on divine Province," and pledging of "sacred Honor" by the 56 signatories. In the writings of our forefathers (Federalist Papers, etc.), they are clear that they agreed that the government they were designing requires a God-fearing people who abide by God's laws, in so far as humanly possible, in order for the limited government that they envisioned to be workable. The United States of America is a Grand Experiment in government that has resulted in the development of the greatest nation on earth with the greatest liberty and opportunities for people of all races and both genders of any in the history of the world, but its viability is threatened by a populace who boos God and disrespects the vital role that respect of and service to God, especially in the political arena, plays in the functioning of our civil union.

If it's the debt or the deficit, where were you the last eight years? You scream about ignoring the Constitution, but when pressed for specific examples you stutter on about Socialism.

I can see that people in the medical field are necessary, but I think retail people should not be forced to work on Thanksgiving to increase the big store profits. Years ago, we had a huge conflict here and eventually voted on a city ordinance allowing stores to remain open on Sunday. At that time, I thought it was a good idea because I had to work Saturdays and needed the time to take care of business. I think this camping outside of the stores and people actually getting hu ...

I just gotta do it. Someone far below was accusing Republicans of fraud, ethnic violations, etc. Well, I did a wee bit of research over the weekend on Democrats. Keep in mind that the following names include only the years from 2008-2012, except for Bill and Hillary Clinton. These names include mayors and governors. I did not put what investigations they underwent since this list is quite long. If you have a favorite Democrat that you would wish to know the background, let me know. ...

Even if he'd be a sure loss if he did somehow make it, that's way too close to the presidency to even joke about.
