His state did recover from Romney. Thanks to Deval, Patrick, first black governor of Mass, first Democrat in that office in about 20 years.

They'd stand up on occasion to do the trained seal thing for selected talking points...but they weren't roaring like the DNC crowd.

I noticed the same thing you did.


Along with the lyrics,there is a sound recording attached to this posting.
Please give a listen and I would like to hear you opinion. I would like for
President Obama to hear the song and consider playing it at the Democratic
National Convention. I would also like to propose selling CD's of the song
as a way to raise funds for the Democratic Party. Hope to hear from you soon.


Democratic Party Motivational Song

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

We have arguments about pro-life and pro-choice
It my belief that every woman should have her own voice
Some people say that I’m a liberal because I look ahead and not behind
Because I welcome new ideas and try to be gentle and kind

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

Don’t say I’m not a Christian because I don’t do as you do
Don’t decide what is good for me and I won’t decide what is good for you
Most democrats believe in God and try to do as he commands
It is not your position to decide where we stand

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

Some criticize me because I have different ideology
But I’m also a loyal American and I make no apology
I will work hard and I’m hell bent
To elect a democrat as our next president
A proud democrat, loyal American, well educated and motivated
I will stand up for my beliefs and will not be intimidated
I hear many in the GOP say we need to take our country back
Well, this country belongs to me too, and that is a simple fact

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

(I'm convinced we can work through the stalemate
I believe in compromise and I'm not driven by hate)

Governor Patrick give his speech last night I found myself thinking "I'm looking at the future of my country and my party in this young man! I say "young man" simply because I'm old enough to be his mother.
