I am an Aries, just turned 56. I have been around. Raised in Michigan, farm boy from a family of ten, yes Roman Catholic. By the middle of my twenties I had become a Southern Baptist youth pastor in North Dade and worked with the likes of Anita Bryant. Then the pendulum swung and I came out to my wife and left her and move to San Francisco.
Today I enjoy an artist's life [http://bobbruman.com/]. I am very tight with my daughter and grandson - very! I am political involved and I try to be a decent human being. Shortly after April first my daughter was laughing in the kitchen...I said what's so funny. Laughing she said I'm pregnant. I said, no. She said, yes. Then thinking I'd get the last laugh I asked, do we know who the father is?

BACK TO THE FUTURE - Part 1
No more BACK TO THE FUTURE. The future is now and for those friends of my friends who have swallowed the Republican rhetoric for years well it just doesn't jive any more vavee. The days of wine and roses and cheap gas are history. No more eighteen cents a gallon gas wars! I sold my car months ago...I knew I was going to miss my sweet Miata but it is done. Gramps is sexy I don't need a car to prove it. I walk, I take public transit or hitch a ride...any moral person must realize until the ways our lives do not lead us to war then we must change. We are in the gulf for war. We all know it...it is the oil! posted 05/17/2008 at 12:30:34

BACK TO THE FUTURE? PART 2
And boy howdy hasn't that worked out fine! The days of the 'good ol' boys' and bigotry and hate and intolerance and stupidity is over! AS A BABY BOOMER perhaps our days and our ways are done! We need to be done, we die or change, because if we don't change we will die and take many with us. Are we too old too dumb too archaic too unwilling to embrace the future and make the necessary changes? The future is now, peace is now, change is now, electric cars ran on trash or sun power is now...we all must change or be bloodied by the innocent as our world disappears! I would rather walk and take a day to get there than to have my hands bloodied by the innocent. This is not George W. Bush's war, this is my war, your war and we stop it! We must change and we can. YES WE CAN! posted 05/17/2008 at 12:29:48

Whoopi: "Part Of Me Wants Mccain To Win"
My fate and the fate of my grandchildren will not be in the hands of light hearted and half witted VIEW hosts! I want peace and prosperity and I don't think that I/we should trust those who have already broken it to fix it! Nor should we trust those who were part of breaking it, like Hillary; she voted for it out of political expediency.
"If we had Obama for the last 8 years we would not have the WAR to clean up." I suggest we put in someone in charge as our President who isn't eager to be a cowboy or pro-war.
It is doubtful McCain will live out one term...let's turn our country over to a one who has not voted for this war! One who does not have the reputation of being a liar and one who will not make bigger messes! America is in trouble, BIG TROUBLE and so am I and so are a lot of good Americans! VIEW hosts and POLITICIANS must get REAL! Over 80% of my income goes for rent! I care for the disabled and the dying...I cannot afford more carelessness! I am an artist - you try to sell a painting in this economy!
We need help! We need hope! We need a President who is wise and who will not lead us into unnecessary trouble. I need a President who will lead us out of trouble and into peace and prosperity. posted 04/23/2008 at 21:28:16

Chris Matthews Declares The PA Polls Closed Thirty Minutes Early
Part 1
First of all I am not a gay grandpa WANNABE! I am a proud gay grandpa PERIOD, proud of my family and proud to be gay! I was a lot of things that I am not now today! I was once married to a women. I was once a Southern Baptist youth pastor in the mid-seventies and had one of the fastest growing youth groups in America. I was once on the same stage as Jack Wyrtzen and Anita Bryant in one of the largest youth rallies in Florida. So what Jack of B.S., so what? People change if you have not heard! And many things that people may or may not have done have little or nothing to do with their current lives.
You arrogance is only equaled by your ignorance! Do not suggest to me that I do not care for this country. I come from a military family, in my immediate family five of us boys served in the Armed forces with all kinds of honors from Purple Hearts to all kinds of medals. Don't talk to me disrespectfully! Some are not with us today and I will not have you dishonoring their contributions to freedin by shouting me down with lies and B.S. posted 04/23/2008 at 12:57:21

You wish us to swallow your bigoted bull hook line and sinker. Well as a gay man I have learned that it is not prudent to swallow everything some jerk off wishes to ram down your throat! What a bunch of crap! The only thing you have proven is just how stupid and gullible and bigoted your closed minded is.
America needs an honest President, a thinker, one with a new perspective and a genuine commitment to peace. You call me a liberal and I don't know what to call you other than an idiot. I am so tired of this pro-WAR ANTI-peace rhetoric. Do you think that Israel cannot defend itself, it can blow up its enemies a hundred times? Why is it that we are starting wars and profiting and setting up permanent bases in lands where obviously we are not welcomed? I am sick of it!
I don't give a rat's ass about Monica or Bill excessive ability to lie...it is Hillary's lying that I can not and will not swallow. As far as your lies well the ignorant and the bigoted will believe anything with out any thought. You are going to get sick on it, you are sick. posted 04/23/2008 at 12:56:43

Part 1
Yes I agree, this is a waste of an article to go on and on about that half witted Matthews! Why isn't someone explaining why Hillary and Bill did so well in this state and other Mid-west states where the majority of the state's "class" are older white men and women like me? Could it be that these struggling poor and uneducated white folk have a huge hint of bigotry in them and would not vote for a black man even if hell froze over...I am from the Midwest and I left Michigan because of it's intolerance, ignorance and bigotry and I am so glad I did. It is possibly why I am still alive today.
Bill and Hillary knows just how to speak to these folks and they have been doing it all along...now Bill Clinton is suggesting Obama played the race card on him way back when he (Bill) was speaking of Obama's winning in South Carolina and comparing it to Jesse Jackson's. Their whole premise of why Obama is not electable is because he's black! posted 04/22/2008 at 23:33:29
Part 2
Their whole strategy was to minimize his wins as 'oh he's black and doing well because he is in a black state,' or he's just a flash in the pan and these youngsters don't know what they're doing, they're too young and dumb! It is clear to everyone that their strategy is to minimalize every victory Obama has had and earned. Does Chris or even Keith for that matter have the guts to bring this up? No one speaks of it, even though it is so obvious! Even Chris who cannot keep his mouth shut about anything...manages not to mention this obvious but subtle bigotry. The CLINTON tactic and strategy is to suggest a black man cannot be elected as President! Maybe they are right but even if they are, it does not give them the right to steal this nomination or to be so disgusting. I am older, I am white, I don't make $50,000 per year...I struggle but I will tell you this...
I will not forget the dreams of my youth and the voices from my youth who suggested we should dream and to hold unto those dreams because we can make them come true. Yes we can. Yes We Can. YES WE CAN! posted 04/22/2008 at 23:33:03

Clinton Needs Record Margins And Turnout To Catch Obama
I can understand your worries and fear. You are afraid somehow McCain can win; but I say don't be afraid. The American public will not elect an old angry pro-war President.
The American public wishes for peace and prosperity. This illegal and ill advised Iraq war has shaken the very foundation of this country's financial stability and its influence on world diplomacy. The American public cares that there has not been peace talks on American soil for seven years. The voters are ready to rise above the lies of old politic and are more than ready to lift their bootstraps out of the quagmire and kick away whomever who would wish to remain there for even a day longer than necessary. The American public knows and will not forget the stupidity of this unnecessary and immoral war!
Some have already questioned the wisdom of the Democratic candidates who have both promised to end this war. We fight wars because we believe we are doing the 'right' thing...there is nothing right or moral about this war! The Iraq war was based on lies and it is ripping our country apart. We must rise above the Republican politic of lies and fear and offer the American voter the politic of hope and prosperity. Americans want it and knows it can have it with one single vote - theirs! We will win because we can. YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! posted 04/21/2008 at 11:02:25

Yeah he can pay to repair the bodies of the children who lived...in the meantime I hope he drops his soap a lot! I have no sympathy for these eager warmongers, him, Cheney, Bush, the bunch of them should pay...they are all monsters! I hope the Democrats throw the book at these people in 2009.

We are bankrupted because of their moral bankruptcy. Throw them all into jail and throw away the keys! And let's vote out every politician who were so gutless in voting for this war! Starting with the ones running for the Presidency!

Schieffer Asks Pelosi: Is Bill Clinton Working To Undermine Wife's Candidacy
I would love to see Bill Moyers replace him for that matter I would love to see Bill Moyers as President...or VP...but the reason this question is valid or the more specific question that should have been asked is are the Clintons trying to throw this opportunity for the White House so that Barack who will obviously get the nomination will lose the General Election...the Clintons are very astute and calculating! Would they stoop this low...well obviously they will lie, telling the lie about being under fire four times not once late at night as Bill likes to tell it. And what is this about being SIXTY AND TIRED? I have worked five weeks in a row doing hospice care, 125 hours per week...and I was not sloppy in the head...I had work to do...important work caring for the dying...don't give me this BULL that being sixty and tired is an excuse to LIE or to be SLOPPY - I DO NOT BUY IT FOR ONE SECOND! Four times she told that lie about being under fire once in the early afternoon, once mid-afternoon, once late at night and once early in the morning! That plain old lying!

And this war has left our military in shambles, our economy in shambles, and our reputation in shambles!

Oh yeah I like it, it sounds fair to me...yeah even though some will get out I am sure my grandson will serve because I as an artist won't have the strings to pull...BULL
THIS IS ALL BULL...NO I do not believe in a draft...I fought the last one in 1970 and won...5 brothers served in the service...I was the oldest one left and they wanted me to.

My two brothers from Nam both with honors, like the Purple Heart and other medals have full mental disabilities...and now you want to push that through so my grandson and others who do not have means will fight wars so the rich can get richer.
HELL NO! It is bull...it is not fair...
I will tell you what is fair...have men over FIFTY GO TO WAR...those who have lived a little, let them go die...start with the Senators and then the Congress...now that is fair!

Household Betrayal
"Yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Lowe and wife Sheryl claim former employee Laura Boyce violated a strict confidentiality agreement and spread "malicious lies" about their family, a "betrayal [that] reaches far beyond possibly marring the Lowe's image in the public eye."
Rob and Sheryl say Boyce worked for them for a little over a year, and became very close to the family...suddenly, last November, they say Boyce was a no-show, and didn't respond to repeated calls and messages from the family...it was only after a missing person's report was filed, the suit alleges, that Boyce contacted them to say she wouldn't be coming back to work.
Since then, the Lowes say...she demanded $1.5 million in hush money, otherwise she was going to go public...(with) serious lies."
It does not seem odd to me that Rob and his wife would go public with this. I find it difficult to criticize any man who bravely protects his family and his career. Many men are jerks in their relationships with their wives and families. Rob's behavior is commendable. He is in a public business and has every right to use this medium to present his case, no doubt he will continue in the courtroom but both fronts seem prudent. Again I say I respect any man who will courageously stand up and protect his family. Good job Rob, right on man, hang tough and good luck! posted 04/08/2008 at 08:01:17

Oh gawd EXCUSE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?! I lived through the beginning days of this pandemic in San Francisco and there were a lot of speculation going on. For a black pastor to think that a disease that probably began in Africa where men and women freely enjoy sexual relations was started for the purpose to eliminate a race DOES NOT SEEM SO FAR FETCHED to me!

Barack Obama in the Illinois Senate: Barack Obama was known as a liberal who was not afraid to build bridges across party lines during his term in the Illinois State Senate. He gained a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood for his support of family planning and abortion rights legislation.
Barack Obama and Gay Rights in Illinois: Barack Obama supported gay rights during his Illinois Senate tenure. He sponsored legislation in Illinois that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Barack Obama in the United States Senate: Every two years the Human Rights Campaign, the largest national gay and lesbian organization, issues a scorecard for members of the Senate based on their sponsorship and voting on key issues of importance to gay and lesbian citizens. Barack Obama scored 89 out of 100% in the 2006 scorecard.

Gay & Lesbian Adoption: Barack Obama believes gays and lesbians should have the same rights to adopt children as heterosexuals.
Barack Obama and Gay Marriage/ Civil Unions: Although Barack Obama has said that he supports civil unions, he is against gay marriage. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."
Barack Obama did vote against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.
He said he would support civil unions between gay and lesbian couples, as well as letting individual states determine if marriage between gay and lesbian couples should be legalized.
"Giving them a set of basic rights would allow them to experience their relationship and live their lives in a way that doesn't cause discrimination," Obama said. "I think it is the right balance to strike in this society."

Thanks a lot Hillary for your loose moral compass, and vote for political convenience. These people are loose and liars AND HAVE NO MORALITY. Chelsea Clinton wishes to stand up for them then let her answer for them as well OR SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP. It is because of the Clintons that we have GEORGE W. BUSH!

"Obama's Test" or Ours?
I see all of this rather simply...Obama has won this nomination and he will be given it, nonetheless Hillary and Billary refuse to say die...ok that is okay they are only hurting themselves and people's opinions of them, especially Bill! Let Hillary duke it out for the governor of New York if she has so much fight left. Soon she will abandon this fight for the nomination because she will see the hand writing on the wall but Bill...well Bill has lost all perspective and I hope he goes away...far away! far far away.
Obama will be given the nomination and he will win the White House because it is about the WAR and the ECONOMY. And lest we forget it is about necessary change on all fronts, global warming, health care, seniors, immigration, education and so on. When the general election comes and gas is $4 per gallon and the war rages in Iraq what do you think the electorate is going to do? They are quite simply going to vote for the one who can best effect change...it will be clear. It will be Obama. posted 03/30/2008 at 16:22:52

4000 US Soldiers Killed In Iraq

"...America's participation in the Vietnam war had a readymade counter-insurgency: the young people who might be drafted to serve in it. This time, the most articulate opponents are not the young people eligible to go to war. It's the ones who came back. The ex-GIs who now serve in antiwar groups are not natural radicals, not lifelong pacifists. They love their dogs. They love their wives (and wish, the ones most severely wounded, that they could make love to them). And they luvvvv the gung-ho war movie Top Gun. They just think the Iraq occupation is a shame on our conscience, a killing field for their buddies. They believe they have the right to speak up, and that the rest of us have the obligation to listen..." ~
