The Voice Vote in Jerusalem and God

The Voice Vote in Jerusalem and God by MSW.  MGB: They were shouting no because the items lacked discussion in committee.  The Platform Committee should have been reconvened and because of the super majority requirement, a roll call vote held.  The voice vote is impossible to judge, because the audience, visitors and alternates could have been yelling no. Still, it looked bad.  Even though they were restoring a previous plank on Jerusalem, it does not help make the case that Romney is walking all over established U.S. policy when they make a visible change to do the same thing.  The party in power should respect U.S. law - and I say that as a Romany who would like a right of return as well (and acceptance of the Palestinians as fellow Samaritans).
