On national TV, the Democrats showed to God and everyone that they do not care about fairness, or the will of the people, and that they are willing to break their own rules to get what they want.
On Tuesday the Democrats unveiled their 2012 platform, omitting references to God or the long standing plank that identified Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
On Wednesday, Antonio Villaraigosa called three times for a vote on Ted Stricklands proposal to reinstate God and Jerusalem back into the platform statement before declaring it passed. Three votes were necessary because it was painfully obvious that 2/3s of the audience did not agree with the DNC. Unfortunately for the committee chair those viewing, heard that it was obvious the 2/3's majority needed was never reached, if anything the nay's had a slight edge on each vote. But being a good foot soldier Villaraigosa flushed his integrity down the toilet and declared the amendment to the platform passed.
In order to avoid the obvious, that these changes were made because talk radio and Fox News bullied them into it, they spun it that they were merely affirming Obama's long held beliefs on those issues.
So, if you accept that version of the story, what we all witnessed was the DNC, tossing their own members under the bus to get Obama what he wanted, in violation of their own rules, and it can be argued, contrary to the democratic process.
Watch "the Chicago way" in action:
