Indeed, they are. They just placate a few party activists, and occasionally allow the opposing party to get a few bashes in.

I wonder why the people who claim to revere the Constitution so have never complained that that document doesn't mention God.

I looked it up, there are three consulates in Jerusalem, but the only "embassy" listed is "the International Christian Embassy", whatever that might be. Oddly, I also found this story: Republican Platform Removes Support for Israeli Embassy in Jerusalemhttp://www.algemeiner.com/2012/09/05/republican-platform-removes-support-for-israeli-embassy-in-jerusalem/

Bit of a surprise if true. Where was Sheldon Adelson when that happened?

These platforms are so ridiculously irrelevant, you wonder why they bother stumbling through the play-acting pantomime that the process has become.
My feelings exactly. There is certainly a place for a statement of principles but these party platform exercises are so clearly irrelevant to the practice of governing, it's more than a little silly. And has been for some time.
