ness Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 I don't know the full context, or how it ended up -- because it's all a load crap anyway, and I won't watch any of it -- but what a freakin' joke. I wish we could sweep everybody out (R, D, I) and start from scratch. John

Jack Jones Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 .I had to pause it to read the amendments. The first amendment didn't seem all that controversial to me, just somewhat unnecessary. The second amendment, well, I can understand the issues. There's a lot of controversy surrounding the creation of Israel as a nation-state, and it's been unresolved for over 60 years with no real end in sight. I don't know that I would have injected that into the mix if I was him. From what it sounded like, it was pretty evenly split on the final voice vote. What a poor way to proffer an amendment to the platform. Also, the auditorium wasn't exactly filled, so hard to say if it's a reflection of any majority or minority. On balance, these conventions are largely irrelevant in this day and age. I wish our conventions were a bit more "up for grabs". Since both are generally pre-decided. both conventions are mostly show-boating and do little to sway me one way or the other. It many respects it's like American Idol for future political wannabes.

'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets! -Bill HIcks
