Republican National Convention Post #11

While watching Mike Huckabee’s speech during the Republican National Convention he greatly supports John McCain. He says “John McCain is a man with character and a stubborn kind of integrity that we need in a president.” Huckabee talks about gas costing four dollars a gallon and employees taking pay cuts and how this election is about the American people. The American people don’t want more government but less. He says he isn’t a republican who grew up rich but because he wasn’t waiting for government to rescue him. He talks about how John McCain is the most prepared, the most experience, and the most accepted. My favorite part of Mike Huckabee’s speech was when he brought up the story about Martha Cothern a teacher at Joe T. Robinson High School in Little Rock, Arkansas who took away all of the students desks from her classroom. She was determined to not let her students take their education or privileges as an American for granite. When the students walked into the classroom and asked “Ms. Cothren where’s our desks?” She replied back “You will get a desk in my classroom when you tell me how you earn it.” Throughout the day students did nothing but talk and wonder if she was crazy and by the end of the day there were news crews surrounding the school. At the end of the day over twenty veterans some still in uniform walked into the classroom carrying their desks and placing them neatly and quietly in rows she said “You don’t have to earn your desk, because these guys already did.”
