If you opposed the reinstatement of God...

[M14 Shooter]

...into the official DNC platform – what do you do now?

Continue to vote Dem?
Perhaps Partisan political power preempts personal principle?

Someone opposed to the reinstatement might be pissed that the language was put back in. However, LYING about it should fall to righteous indignation and fury. Everyone knows that the vote to reinstate it failed. The democrat version of democracy gives way to expedience, even for democrats.

Seems to me that's all the more reason for those people to step away from the Democrats.

But, we both know it won't.

Partisan political power perpetually preempts personal principle.

So, you think that people who don't believe in God should vote for Romney?

Really, theDrIsIn, why would you be hedging the question that was asked?

He -thinks- he's being clever.

Dems without a backbone? Nothing new.

 

[bobcollum]

Why would one stop voting Democrat because of that?

It's not like it's a change, that's how it's always been.

I don't understand how anyone can honestly agree with all of their party's platform...Americans should always pride themselves on striving for better, and that means looking for ways to improve upon the imperfections of our evolving ideas.

So, who should they vote for?

Because the OP is nonsense....

 

[whitehall]

They didn't oppose it. They dodged and weaved and threw up smoke and mirrors and the rabble still booed.

I feel that this thread needs this link:

The people that do not should not vote for the Democrats.

So, who should they vote for?

A statement that you should NOT vote for someone in no way translates to a statement that you should vote FOR someone.

Not for the intellectually honest.

Generally, when people strongly disagree with a party's platform, they are less likely to vote for that party. If you strongly believe that God has no place in Americna politics, then you should, if you vote your beliefs, consider not supporting a party that has such a belief.

If there were a scale on empty rhetoric and its lack of connection to actions, both parties would tip the scale to the absurd - BUT Obama has been president and much has been done, had an infrastructure jobs bill been passed we'd be much further along in our recovery from the piss-poor management of the Bush Administration. But religious piety from republicans is like compassion in a psychopath. Show me the compassion! Empty rhetoric about Gawd is incredibly hypocritical when your actions are anything but religious in the context of the golden rule.

"The Godless Constitution is an urgent and timely reexamination of the roots of church-state separation in American politics - and a ringing refutation of the misguided claims of the religious right. In this important polemic two distinguished scholars of American political ideas and religion refute this dangerous attempt to introduce what they term "religious correctness" into our politics, by reminding us that the absence of any mention of God in the Constitution was a conscious action on the framers' part, intended to prevent the bloody religious controversies that so marked European history. They also emphasize that church-state separation was seen as a guarantee of - not a hindrance to - religions liberty. Fully respecting the importance of religion in the public sphere, yet forthright in defining proper limits, The Godless Constitution offers a bracing return to the first principles of American democracy - and a guide to keeping them intact in the forthcoming presidential campaign."

Completely off-topic.

Notice that Republicans want to put God everywhere and follow none of his teachers? They will have a "steep" price to pay. Starting with the lying.

In fact, since they don't follow the teachings of the Christian God, they must be following another. They are checking off the List called the Ten Commandments one at a time.
