The Republican MO for decades has been to pick an issue to rile people up that really has little to do with their agenda. Flag Burning!!!11
Putting a few words back in the platform about Jerusalem or God gets it out of the news after a day or so. It's not going to change his actual policies about them. It takes the issue away from the Republicans and doesn't feed their noise machine. It lets him concentrate on the big issues.
Don't get distracted. Look at the big picture and the obvious differences his or Rmoney's administrations would make in the direction the country takes.

Hang in there.
