One has to wonder why.
Bret Baier simply asks him why those words were not only not included, but actually deleted, whereupon Durbin freaked, accusing Baier's "channel" of trying to prove that the Democrat party is "godless."
The Republicans are out to make themselves look religious and the Left not.
Where's my empty chair.
UPDATE: Krauthammer says he was surprised how defensive he was and then on the attack.
Why is Jerusalem not stated as the capital of Israel? This is an ominous sign for Israel.
Krauthammer suggests the Democrat party is prepared to see a barbed wire go through Jerusalem, separating it as it was years ago. For Durbin to pretend that this is not an important issue is suspicious. Why the change?
Platforms aren't that important but why the "glaring changes"? Israel is one place where Obama's led from up front and not behind.
UPDATE 2: "Faith" is included (you mean like Muslim prayers were?) but "God-given talents" was changed to "your talents." Atheists say it is a "step forward," they are "happy" about and a "pleasant surprise."
They added to their platform compliments for the unions who have "built America."
They want an increase in the minimum wage to $10 an hour (apparently they're not afraid of fewer entry level jobs), guaranteed incomes and a prevention of teacher layoffs.
No mention that we're broke and shipping truckloads of cash over to Greece. No lie.
Other items the platform supports are abortion rights, gay marriage and higher taxes. They want to legalize illegals and provide more entitlement programs, overturn Citizens United and forbid requiring voter ID
UPDATE 3: Dems are proud of government since government "is something we all belong to.
Um, no.
Government belongs to US. They're OUR employees.
This is outright defiance of our founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence.
UPDATE: Here's the video, nasty as it is, of Durbin, from the Washington Examiner:
