I am a proud, lifelong Democrat [View all]

We are good. We are the party that brings prosperity with our sound economic policies. We are the party under whose policies the middle class thrives. We are the party with policies that conserve our environment. We are the party that uses our military prudently. We are the party that understands our Constitution.

I haven't seen Grover Norquist in awhile but managed to stomach him on CNBC this morning. He was pushing the same old "conservative" garbage. Our party is fit to govern. Republicans are not.

We have two great candidates for president and the Republicans have had none. This is reality. This election is critical.
