Sorry that you missed them. Because if you want to be taken seriously, you probably should know what you're talking about, braindead.

An uninformed commenter? I didn't know they existed. Oh wait. Yes, I did. Because I read a lot of uninformed commenters on this site from every conceivable philosophical and political persuasion.

Hmmm? A biased journalist? I didn’t know they existed. Maybe we SHOULD bring back the fairness doctrine... Oh wait, they only want that to apply to talk radio host that don’t agree with their far left agenda...Journalism truly is dead.

From reading the 2004 New Mexico Business Weekly profile of Ms. Berry, it's clear to me she has done a really great job building her company. I also think the SBA's programs for small minority owned businesses are laudable, and I have no objections at all with Richard Berry joining his wife's company. They obviously make a good team. Just in case you missed the write up that I did about it, here it is again: <br><br><a href="http://newmexicoindependent.com/37149/richard-berrys-family-owned-business-benefits-from-govt-programs-for-women-minorities" rel="nofollow">http://newmexicoindependent.com/37149/richard-b...</a> I'm not sure what attack you are speaking of.

While the campaign has promised information about that company, none has been forthcoming. For instance, a simple document showing how much gross receipts tax the company paid last year would suffice.

Would you attack any other female for being a business owner and running it with her spouse? I think people deserve better that this from "reporters" like yourself.

There is no law that requires a public servant to talk about their private lives.

Privacy is a constitutionally protected human right; it cannot be violated without a warrant. Running for office doesn't create a warrant; the public really does not have a “right to know” anything about his personal life. Discussing his private life, or not, is his prerogative; a choice he is entitled to make.
