Who does Chuck Norris support?
I know that’s the question that is on everyone’s mind. Chuck Norris. Why? Why should anyone care? Well, I guess that Chuck Norris wants us to care. Who is the winner of Chuck Norris’ support and money? Mike Huckabee!!!
Huckabee has been gathering a little more momentum lately. After he had a second place showing in the Iowa straw poll, more money and more media attention has been coming his way. It is interesting with Huckabee’s background as an ordained minister, he didn’t win the Values Voters Summit this weekend. He came in second (there was some interesting voting going on). It would seem that he would be a perfect fit for the Religious Right.
Anyway, back to the Norris endorsement, here’s what Chuck had to say on the conservative blog WorldNet Daily-
I won’t leave you in suspense. Though Giuliani might be savvy enough to lead people, Fred Thompson wise enough to wade through the tides of politics, McCain tough enough to fight terrorism and Romney business-minded enough to grow our economy, I believe the only one who has all of the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Newt Gingrich called Mike “very effective … if Huckabee can find money, he will be dramatically competitive almost overnight.” Bill Clinton called Huckabee the “only dark horse that’s got any kind of chance … He’s the best speaker they’ve got.” There is even a pro-Huckabee swell rising among the younger generation.
Okay, quoting Newt Gingrich is scary but didn’t Newt say that the field of current candidates were “pathetic“? Maybe Chuck didn’t get the memo. Mr. Norris goes on to say -
Mike is also a respected and fearless leader, and he does not cower to the cries of any majority or minority. He doesn’t abandon his values for what’s expedient. Like our Founding Fathers, he’s not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs. At the same time, he doesn’t fear offending Christian leaders who give up their values in pursuit of electing their “team leader” just like everyone else.
His post goes on and on from there. He really pushes Huckabee as a religious man who leads. The strange thing is that this is the exact picture that the Republicans painted of George Bush in 1999 and 2000. I know that the country doesn’t want to go there. Finally, why do we care what Chuck Norris thinks? I mean seriously why?
