Can am, the Muslim accusation is such a losing issue. I wish the birthers and the folks who claim he's a Muslim would stop. It deosnt help to make the case against Obama with independent voters. There's no real evidence of any sort that he's a Muslim.

The point is the Democrats removed God from the party platform (Muslims believe in God Canam). I take that as the extremists in the Democrat party and the Obama administration are trying to be politically correct and trying to keep the uber liberals happy. They're having trouble keeping their liberal base happy.

They removed "Jerusalem" from the platform in the context of Jerusalem being the eternal capital of Israel, something very important to the Israelis. Obama is already on record saying that Israel should go back to its pre-1967 borders, something Israel says they will never be able to do.

This is significant because it shows a willingness to alienate certain voting blocks like Democratic Catholics and Protestants as well as Jewish voters. It's seems to be a weird strategy, but I just think they are so out of touch with reality, they actually think this is a smart move or that they will attract more voters.

They are destined for a shellacking in November. I can't believe they think they're going to win. It's so obvious.
