First things first, we want to thank Nikki for the opportunity to voice our opinions about certain things do without further ado, here it goes!!!
I want to briefly touch on these protests once again as it seems, as is the case with any newsworthy public issue, there are multiple copycat protests occurring. This seems ridiculous and redundant. People seem to be protesting for the sake of protesting and have no real agenda other than to say they did so. To each their own and if you feel it is legitimate, then by all means protest. The problem I have is that it seems people are protesting anything that can be deemed controversial because they know it will get coverage. What's next, everybody with the last name of McDonald in the world will stand outside of the restaurant McDonald’s and protest not getting any revenue or even a free burger?!?!?!
Overlooked in all of the protest coverage has been the fact that Herman Cain has not only become a legitimate presidential candidate, but he has become the favorite to run against Obama in the upcoming election. There are some people who feel that some of these protests have been caused by Cain and his theories. I am thrilled at the fact that this country has come to the point that physical appearance does not seem to be as important to the majority. It seems that what they are proposing to do and their stances on certain issues have become more important. For instance, Herman Cain has come out and said he will oppose government funding of abortion and that he is 100% pro-life. He did not shy away from the question and answered honestly without conviction. Whether people agree or disagree with him, he knows what he stands for and there is integrity in that. People laugh at his 9-9-9 plan but I honestly don't think it's that bad of an idea and like his slogan says "Let's get real", it definite couldn't hurt. If it is in place and does the things he envisions it doing, how could it be worse than it is now?? Now as we all know, when it comes to politicians, its one thing to say it and another to do it. The only issue I have is that people are making a big deal about him having a mustache. Herman Cain seems like the real deal and mustache or not, we should all pay attention to what he says, rather than whether he has facial hair or not!!
This is Kyle Montgomery, and this is my two cents!!
