Berry?
Look what Mayor Marty has done for this city.. It was trash, litterally trash.. I'm not trying to be be rude.. but alot can agree he has done wonders for this city.
12 years of real leadership.. 4th term, he will win most likely.
Martin Chavez is trash, literally, trash. I agree with billythegoat completely.
I'm so glad Chavez didn't get elected. He is corrupt out of his brains. I worked at a bar downtown (no names) as a bouncer, Martin shows up with his VERY underage girlfriend. He tried to pay me $300 for me to let her in. When I said no (I reasoned $300 isn't worth my job) he began listing all sorts of threats about how he was going to make sure I got fired and evicted from my house and all sorts of things. He then talked to the owner of the bar and demanded that the owner fire me or else dear ol' Marty was going to bring untold hell down on his bar. I got fired, Chavez and his girlfriend got in, and that was just in 15 minutes.
He enjoys the power that comes with his position far too much. Another example is how his daughter gets a DWI, or should I say doesn't get a DWI. Albuquerque has a big problem with drunk drivers, everyone knows that. But when his daughter gets pulled over with a blood alcohol level way over the legal limit for someone over 21 (which she isn't), somehow her case gets "lost". If the mayors daughter gets drunk and hits a car head on with a family in it, does that mean they won't die?

Using a political action committee "seemed to be the most proper way" to raise money, [Chavez] said, because there is public disclosure and it does not depend on government funds.
It saves money for taxpayers, he said, because it involves the use of private donations to cover some expenses that might have reasonably been charged to city government — such as certain travel costs and his cell phone.
Some checks in the files of ABQPAC were written to Mayor Martin Chavez personally, not to the committee that he has said provided a buffer between him and contributors.

Thank God, Albuquerque is finally FREE! Now to ride the old dirtbag out of town on a rail...
Funny twist of your words. Tell me how are they impacted by MORE discrimination than any other person gay or straight? They're not. Bottom line. The law tells both of us we can't marry the same sex. Don't come back and say "well I can't marry my gay lover." Thats BS, whats next Tom, Dick, or Harry tells us he can't marry his goat lover.
It should go with out saying but (some people need a bit more explanation than others) there is a pretty big difference between a human that can give consent and an animal that can't.

Force their lifestyle on the religious public.
Yeah. That makes sense.

It would be far more acceptable to allow "civil unions" and create the legal language in allowing all the legal benefits & write offs. Also to be taken to the cleaners if the union fails.
If you can have all the legal perks and pitfalls are you going to say we're "civilly united" or are you going to say your "married?" ...I thought so. It's the legality your looking for. That should be the gay fight. Not what the hell you call it on paper.
I'll agree with you here. As soon as the law quits recognizing religious marriages that'll be a start
]"Marriage" is a religious union.[/b] Gays are trying to hijack the religious institution. Force their lifestyle on the religious public. It would be far more acceptable to allow "civil unions" and create the legal language in allowing all the legal benefits & write offs. Also to be taken to the cleaners if the union fails.
If marriage is only a religious union, our government has no business recognizing marriages of any sort.

Tell that to Berry.
