It's quite a shame to use a person of high esteem like Chuck Norris
I have always had the highest respect for him, but after seeing and hearing
the comments toward Sen. Mc Cain alot of the feeling is gone.

From Mr. nice guy to the common run of the mill showman

Now that I know who Mike Huckabee is you have my vote. Find a place for Chuck Norris in your administration. Our country was founded by people who believe in God. If you believe in God or you are an agnostic or atheist we live in a country where you can believe in what you want to believe in.
Make it a Huckabee / Giuliani ticket and we have another republican in the White House. Don't forget McCain as Secretary of State.

i heard these two want public schools to teach the bible. WOW i dont think I can think of a worse idea. yea i really can't. You cant force people to learn a book that millions have died over. if you believe in that stuff good for you if you don't good for you. YOU CANT FORCE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE IN GOD!

I have to say that I haven't heard much about Mike Huckabee, but I am curious to know what he is about. Since I am an Independant in the political arena, and most Republicans are conservative, I like to reserve my judgement on people until I get to know more about them. Living in Rural America, we see a lot of Republican actions from the Western side of the state that seems to make decisions that impact of the Eastern side (Democrats) when they seem to not have any idea how their choices affect the daily lives of people that are greatly affected by them. Where does mr. Huckabee stand on the current issues raised daily by the current president and his actions on the impact of the American people as a whole?
Thanks.

Endorsing someone does not include you in everything the candidate has to stand for. There are some people that don't agree with everything this candidate has to say or exactly everything he may stand for, but at some point you have to back someone that stands for the basics. I believe this is what Chuck Norris is backing. Not everything, but most of everything. There are many different views of this debate, I believe the main theme is" What is best for America". let's go with that! If anyone, anyone has a better format, let's hear it!

A has-been endorsing a never-was. Politics are so silly.

Hey Jack from Fairfield, IA, let me clarify my point, which perhaps was obscurred by my allusion to the Second Law of Thermodynamics: "The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the universal law of increasing entropy, stating that the entropy of an isolated system which is not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium." In other words, in a closed system, heat moves from hot to cold until there is equalibrium. Perhaps I should have simply stated the more general principal at work: that everything decays. Yet macroevolution teaches that we build more and more complex things out of simple things without any outside help. Things decay over time. I know of no counterexample, other than the theory of evolution. Jack, how about you explain to me the complete absence of missing links in the fossil record. You see, not only did I learn about evolution inside school, but I've read critiques of it outside of school, which is apparently more than you're willing to do. But no, because I believe in things I can't see, I must be stupid.

When kids go to bed they check their closests for the boogie man, when the boogie man goes to sleep he checks for Chuck Norris.

To Wayne in Greenville Texas:

There will be a coming...and you "apes" won't be going!

Evolution is a concept IMAGINED in a MAN'S mind to make MAN absolute of his own "self-given" authority. You "apes" will just have to see to believe. But when that day DOES come, it will be too late for the "apes". How sad is it to believe that only MAN is in control. Men have done such a wonderful job proving their greatness.

I will pray for you!

I want a President that does NOT think that power starts and stops at their hands, but in fact realizes that GOD exists and has the humility to ask GOD for guidance.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

The quickest way to a man's heart is with Chuck Norris's fist.

The only hope the other Republican candidates have at this point is to secure the endorsement of Vin Diesel or Mr T.

Charles Bronson is much cooler than Chuck Norris anyways.

"On Saturday in South Carolina, Huckabee said if there was an "imminent threat" inside Pakistan, he would take military action there, even if it meant violating Pakistan's sovereignty under international law."

What the country does not need is another Christian Cowboy ... no country left unbombed ... those who are willing to ignore international laws, also are willing to ignore our own laws ...

I heard that Fred Thompson, former star of TV's "Law and Order" was endorsing Fred Thompson for President. Go Fred!

if you think he is reaching the "young voter demographic" then you cant be that young. especially with chuck norris!!!

Tony G/Virginia

i agree with you 100% why are these people FOR prayer in school. do they really think THAT will save america?? we have just had the most religious administration in american history as far as i can see and it was a complete failure, no matter what the ignorant people of this country want to believe. havent we learned our lesson from the past? a nation based on religion will always fail. isnt that one of the MAIN reasons our founding fathers fought so hard. we had a revolution for a reason and these so-called "real americans" are trying so hard to undo everything our ancestors fought so hard for. i know a girl that was homeschooled then put into a christian jr high school and a christian high school and now going to a christian college and she can barely spell. she has no idea about science or math and she wants to go to a regular college but her mother is refusing to let her go to one!! these are the same people voting for prayer in school! its such a shame....look prayer works for some people but for others it doesnt. and as a democracy you CANT force BELIEFS on people especially in school. look at what they do in the middle east!! we are so against that but these hypocritical christians cant even see the difference because they see there religion as "good" and their religion as evil. its just so sad. and chuck norris?!?! you cant be seriouos look at the man. you know you cant have a normal conversation with him he looks like an anti-social manequin!!! i wish this country could grow and understand CHANGE IS GOOD!!!!

please let the democrats win, at least we wont have to deal with ideoligists that will force there ideas on everyone else.

Considering that “Chuck Norris” has now passed “Jesus Christ” in terms of Google search volume, it’s interesting that Mr. Norris continues to preach the Good Word while his own followers hang on his every word. His endorsement is as good as, if not better, than one from Jesus.

It always seems to come down to a large bloc of voters that equate how much one endorses the importance of faith and religion over intelligence, rational thought, education, foreign policy skill, strength of leadership, decency, and concern for all Americans. Chuck Norris: "Someone who is not afraid to stand up for a creator and resist secular influences! [sic] It seems like the folks that are not capable of thinking rationally about complex issues always fall back on the old tired and true (I mean tried and true) arguement that anybody that doesn't make a big deal about how religious they are is automatically "against" any religious belief or "moral" stance. Look... most of us are moral in our own way. Most of us believe in decency, clean living, patriotism, loyalty, respect for all types of people (well..some of us) kindness, and etc. It is this unfortunate holdover from the Puritan 1600s that so many people judge the standard of decency by the ability to roll one's eyes toward the sky and intone a professed devotion to faith, God, and to heck with anything else because it's just not important! This is not faith or religious belief, it is rather an effort by people that are confused and afraid of the world around them to try and find an anchor in their lives and make some sense of a world that grows increasingly complex and unstable. We dont need a president that is "not afraid to stand up for a creator" (the constitution does that) but rather a leader that can keep us safe, respected, and prosperous. Let's let the Middle Eastern barbarians be the ones that rule by theocracy and a society of intellectual darkness, Draconian punishment, and backward thinking.

last I saw of chuck he was getting his rear end kicked by Bruce Lee...I didnt know he was still alive

If you think the Bible is a fairy tale, read the Book of Mormon.

Seriously, read it and try to tell me a guy dug up magic plates in upstate New York and that Israelis sailed to the Americas thousands of years ago before being killed by persons who God punished by making them colored.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

I love how people are calling this everything they are calling it – where were they when Bill was on Arsenio Hall playing the sax?

I just find it so hard to believe that Huckabee is including Norris in his ads!! It's one thing for Norris to endorse him – but for Huckabee to actually sit with him in a political ad....???!!!There's an example of good judgment. And then to say how much fun all this is? Hey, I like to have fun as much – or more – than the next guy – but this is the most important presidential election we have faced in at least what 25 years or so?? This isn't FUN!
I read some of Norris' stuff on that website. Free speech and a free press are wonderful gifts we have here, but yeah : Huckabee is "not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs" is pretty scary. I'm not against God but please, there has to be a separation of church and state. Like a previous poster said, you want a theocracy – go to Iran or Saudi Arabia.

Some of people are going to be totally screwed at the coming.

I can understand a disdain from organized religion, but I cannot believe the hatred and agony toward God some of you have.

It's going to be a char fest and He won't be roasting smores.

Posted By Chris, Pensacola FL : November 26, 2007 2:26 pm

Chris I think you need to take it easy on these people. It's not up to us to determine who will burn and who will not.

If Saul of Tarsus were on this blog before his conversion, Christians today would have judged him as toast too. I don't understand why Christians sell God short on His ability to bring non-believers to His Son. That's pretty much all he's done since the beginning of human creation. Paul himself said that he was the worst sinner by persecuting Christians, even to the point of allowing Stephen to die. Stephen himself did not condemn Saul for his actions. And Christ had every reason to condemn the very men nailing Him to the Cross, but did He? That's why we're not in charge Chris, if we were then anyone who was a blasphemer would be toast.

We can confront behavior and defend Christ but calling people toast puts you in the postition that only the Son Hiself owns. And the Bible says that judgement will begin in the House of God, so perhaps we should take heed as to how we are reacting to those who may not know any better. Christ said of His people "those who do not gather my sheep scatter".

That's pretty cut and dry, and it's something we rarely ask of ourselves when we pop off at others out of emotion.

If the universe had a creator, which it doesnt, it certainly wouldn't need its lowly creations -humans- to stand up for it.

Who is This Mike guy did he drop out the sky one day and decide to be a canadaidate i nvere even heard of him which is kinda so which mean's he souldn't be running if people don't even know who he is because he isn't getting notice!

Those who mix religion and politics end up with neither. Those who want to force their religion on others via politics will only end up with resentment
and fierce opposition. We don't want a US Taliban.
Period!

CNN/YouTube Republican Debate: Giuliani 9/11 Question
http://representativepress.googlepages.com/CNNYouTube.html

Huck and Chuck,well aint that sweet?Vote for me and Jesus or Chuck will kick the Crap outta yall!lmao

So Huckabee and Chuck Norris are RACIST because they are both white?

See how smart that sounds, like Obama and Oprah are racist.

Be real folks an endorcement is just an endorcement. If it helps a candidate then good move for that candidate. THAT IS ALL IT MEANS

We gotta stop criticizing people for believing in God. Its the biggest misconception in the world that Christians think there better than everone else. The essence of the whole religion is that we KNOW we're not better than anyone, and we try everyday to correct and improve on each of our infinite flaws.
Posted By Horatio, Providence RI : November 26, 2007 3:12 pm

I try very hard not to criticize people simply for believing in God. A large number of people in my family are devout Christians, of the sort whom you would probably get along with quite well, because they have the same worldview you expressed so eloquently.

However, I have no problem criticizing in the most vociferous terms those alleged Christians who believe they ARE better then everyone else, who think everyone should be forced to believe what they believe, and who would consign to perdition (or a jail cell) every person who deviates from (or even questions) their dogma. I will not be quietly tolerant of their loud intolerance.

Nor will I let them continue to play the "victim" card, claiming that Christians in this country are subject to persecution and "liberal media bias" and countless alleged slights such as the ridiculous "War on Christmas" nonsense. When a Bible-thumping former preacher-turned-politician from Arkansas is considered a viable candidate for President, while an avowed atheist couldn't get elected dog-catcher in most counties in this country, Christians need to stop whining about how oppressed they are.

Christians who follow the Sermon on the Mount, and truly understand what Jesus was talking about when he said that stuff about "what you do to the least of these" are people I can applaud and support. "Cafeteria Leviticans" who apparently stopped reading the Bible at the verse where God expresses his disapproval of gays – feh.

If I had to chose between the two theories of mankind evolving over millions of years or some invisible presense creating the world by saying 'Let there be light' because it is written somewhere in a 2000 year old book, I would have to go with evolution.

Posted By Sam, Clearwater Beach : November 26, 2007 2:48 pm

Implying that you have to choose is a faulty argument. Perhaps "let there be light" is the only way to phrase how the laws of physics and chemistry were created. If you study science, it is almost amazing the way things come together. There is no proof, only wonder. That applies to all things, even scientific "laws" like Newton's...which Einstein technically disproved. I believe in God because of science, experience, and history. A true scientist would never say that data is mutually exclusive...there's no such thing.

Not a good idea.

Inner cities struggle to lower murder rates and gun violence. This issue is not remotely humorous in Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore and many other cities plagued by gun violence.

Perhaps Mike Huckabee, coming from a rural area, just doesn't understand that there are many of us who equate guns with fear and violence.

If he wants to be president, he needs to represent everyone. Not just folks who use guns for legitimate sport and hunting ventures.

Pascals' wager is pretty specious. After all, God could tell if you actually believed in your heart, or if you were just hedging your bets and behaving like a good Christian. (Humans can't read their fellow human's minds, but God can.) If the latter, you cannot be accepted into Heaven. After all, the grossest sinner, if they repent, can be made welcome in Heaven.

If God exists, I think a person who affirmatively denied any religion, and then lived an exemplary moral life, is probably better off than someone who professed a religion and didn't actually believe it, unless they lived an EVEN more exemplary moral life.

Religion has been the driving force behind prejudice, hatred (to extremists) and 9 out of the last 10 wars faught in this world

I'll pray for you tonight. The truth will eat at you day and night.

In the meantime I urge everyone here to vote for Ron Paul. You want a revolution? You want a strong leader with bold ideas? You've had it all this time. The media just won't spotlight him.

For all those out there who feels Democratic commies are bashing this guy because of his religious beliefs. Get a grip. It's not his religious beliefs. This jokes being hailed as the great redeemer–and if you REALLY read is agenda–the average American should be very, very, afraid. It's not his God that's getting people fighting mad...it's the fact he's an idiot and somehow convinced a lot of well-intended Americans to believe in him–to their own detriment.

Jeepers People, Can we stay on point here? The article is not about evolution or God. Let bitter people write whatever they want but overcome it by staying on topic and giving reasons why you believe the article to be true or false. Don't waste your precious time in the cancerous battles that many will try and pull you into.

And in the wings will be Huckabee's wife ready with her grenade launcher should Chuckie not be able to handle any flack directly at her hubbie.

Hey Bill, you even more dimwitted fool, even if our ancestors did hunt and kill this mythical "bridge" species to extinction, there would still be RECORDS of its EXISTENCE in FOSSILES, exactly the same evidence we have of the dinosaurs.

Show me the method by which the laws of thermodynamics are broken to add more complexity to organisms in a closed system without an outside energy or "creative" force, and I will begin to believe macroevolution as more than just a thinly veiled attempt to deny the existence of God.

Hey Travis, the most dimwitted fool of all: go back to school and actually learn something about evolution and the laws of thermodynamics. It's painfully obvious you know nothing about either because your statements are incorrect. Unfortunately, for all your ignorant blather you don't see creationism for what it is-a thinly veiled attempt to force religion into the classroom

Get a clue, John

jnick,

Pascal's Wager is quite a disingenuous reason for believing in Bronze Age superstition, not to mention the false dichotomy it presents. Though I have to admit, it is a very human tendency to engage in specific behaviors for perceived rewards.

People need to focus less on the fact that Huckabee is using a celebrity and more on the fact that he is actually reaching the young voter demographic successfully.

I am sick to death of people bashing Huckabee because he believes in God. You know when we have a problem? When a president is willing to do bad things because he has no fear that something bad may happen back to him. Isn't that what everyone has been complaining about with 43.

We gotta stop criticizing people for believing in God. Its the biggest misconception in the world that Christians think there better than everone else. The essence of the whole religion is that we KNOW we're not better than anyone, and we try everyday to correct and improve on each of our infinite flaws.

John,
Mostof the people that I know (including myself) belief in evolution but in no way believe that evolution is God, in fact quite the opposite. I believe that evolution is science. I'm assuming that you're referring to intelligent design which is the blending of evolution and religion???

As far as proving a fact versus a theory- science is made up of theories- some of them take time to prove- like the theory that the atom was the smallest known particle. Darwin witnessed evolution on the Galapagos islands when he saw species transform to meet the demands of their environment. You are correct however in saying that there are a lot of unanswered questions regarding evolution such as the missing link. I can only speak for myself when I say that I'm not nerely intelligent enough to assume that I know all of the answers, all I can do is to make the most intelligent choice given the facts that I have. If I had to chose between the two theories of mankind evolving over millions of years or some invisible presense creating the world by saying 'Let there be light' because it is written somewhere in a 2000 year old book, I would have to go with evolution.

Hey John, you dim witted fool, the reason you can't find the bridge between animal and man is the fact that our ancestors killed off the bridge specieces. Humans and the "bridge" competed for territory and food, and just like human nature, we killed them for control of it. Survival of the fittest.

As for Chuck Norris, I'd rather be endorsed by Chuck Woolery. The ladies love that dude.

Chuckabee seems like a decent enough guy; ummm...who thinks the world is 6000 years old (fossils?) and dinasaurs and people lived together (the flinstones). Chuck Norris is funny, not ha ha funny, dead clown funny. His career is about on par with David Hasselhoff, who @ least has the good sense to make fun of himself. Ric Flair??? That is too awesome for words (literally-"words" are not used when ric flair and chuck norris team up and put the boots to the enemy combatants. more of a grunting yowling about freedom and jesus)

Speaking of zeros, how are the last 20 Canadian Prime Ministers doing?

Do we really want a president that does believe in evolution? Think about it.

Norris is a kneejerk right-winger and has-been who needs to get back in the limelight. I've read his columns on the repellent WND site and they're awful neo-con garbage. Huckabee can have him.

Wow, I totally believe you are an atheist. By a strange coincidence, I am as Christian as you are atheist, and I assure you that I have spent my life and career molesting children and stealing everything that's not nailed down.

My vote is going to Obama, but I have nothing against Huckabee for parading around Chuck Norris. He's a cultural icon, might as well use him to increase visibility.

And I must say, Chuck would make an awesome Secretary of State! The US could save money on bodygaurds...

The only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistake

A has been, pathetic bible thumper with a mission to force prayer into public schools, endorsing a christian extremist who would like the bible to be the Constitution of the U.S.

Just the goofy story we need to start the week!

Perhaps Chuck can team up with Huckleberry as he explains to consumers how much their healthcare will cost once he exempts business owners from having to provide it? Or perhaps–forcing the insurance companies to reduce their monthly premiums so the people in Florida where I live(average pay less than $20.00 an hour w/ husb./wife working)will be able to afford their own health insurance plans. His agenda says: Jobs don't need health insurance–people do. He is against employers having to fund healthcare because it makes "econmomy sluggish". He is against universal healthcare. But beyond these comments–HE HAS PUT FORTH NO REALISTIC REPLACEMENT PLAN TO MAKE HEALTH INSURANCE AFFORDABLE TO THOSE WHO WANT IT.

Hello Sam,
And thank you for your reply stating that you don't know where to start.
"I think it's pretty sad when people write that it's not possible to believe in God and also believe that he can decide how he wants to create – whether through evolution or any other device."
This one means that God can do whatever He wants. If He wants to create the animal kingdom by using evolutionary permutations – then He can do that – after all, He's God.

"For those who espouse that evolution IS God,"
This one means that there is a large group of people out there who worship evolution – they think evolution is God. The follow-on logic of being entirely devoted to the theory of evolution then applies.

"...then I say, "Show me the bridge between animal and man." No one has ever been able to do that..."
It is true, that if man is a direct descendant of a lower species, then there must be an identifiable species that served as an intermediary to man. Monkeys and chimps don't do it. There's too big a gap there for this to make biological sense. So, if purely evolution is at work here, then there must be another species in the fossil record that shows directly that man came from a lower animal – there isn't any.
"Please distinguish between theory and fact. To do otherwise exposes you to be a fraud, and not well educated."
Just yelling, "I'm right, I'm right," doesn't make you right. If your "theory" can't be well defended, then you don't have a theory.

"Go Chuck, you bring at least as much sanity to this as Hillary does."
Chuck makes at least as much sense as Hillary Clinton, and, unlike Hillary with Vince Foster, all Chuck's dead guys are on TV.
"Love."
Self-explanatory.
Love.

We call these ad's "Chuckabees" – a humorous but compelling morph of two well-liked personalities. If people would give Huckabee just a few minutes and check out his vision and conviction – they'll be hooked.

When Hucky and Chucky start talking about promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ and actually doing what Jesus did – helping the less fortunate, instead of trying to ram creationist dogma down people's throats, then maybe I'll listen to what they have to say.

And BTW...Tinky Winky could kill Chuck Norris with his little finger.

I'm one who thinks Huckabee would be the strongest opponent that the Republican Party could nominate. His rhetoric on things like middle eastern oil and trade is refreshing coming from a Republican candidate, and he's much more socially compatible with many middle class people, Catholics in particular. That being said, I don't see him winning as the John Fund, Club for Growth and Wall Street Journal branch of the party seem to hate him. Will be an interesting study to see who holds sway in the party, the financiers or the religious folk.

John from Round Rock, Texas please educate yourself on the definition of a scientific theory. Your ignorent seperation of a scientific theory and fact exposes you to be a fraud, and not well educated.

We now have a former actor and exercise infomercial hack joining up with a pro-creationist politician. Well, this may in fact be the evidence of God’s existence – a contemporary example of what Voltaire meant when he said that “God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.”

The only reason this sort of fluff makes it to the Ticker is to generate web site traffic, which in turn gives CNN a reason to charge more for advertising on its web site.

Just what we need, a President who will "stand up for a Creator". Do we really want a President that doesn't believe in Evolution???

I though we already did.

all this does is let us know we will see chuck norris in a future election as a candidate. cookie cutter politics 101.

I would sooner take economic advice from Angelina Jolie! After all, the Tomb Raider would totally beat up Chuck Norris.

This was the best endorsement Huck could come up with?

I think it's pretty sad when people write that it's not possible to believe in God and also believe that he can decide how he wants to create – whether through evolution or any other device. For those who espouse that evolution IS God, then I say, "Show me the bridge between animal and man." No one has ever been able to do that – although there can't be man with a bridging animal species, according to the THEORY of evolution. Please distinguish between theory and fact. To do otherwise exposes you to be a fraud, and not well educated. Go Chuck, you bring at least as much sanity to this as Hillary does. Love.

John,
What are you talking about, I don't even know where to begin trying to decipher your post.
A little clarity might be helpful.

For our children's sake, don't vote this religious, war-mongering, moron into office... please. Haven't we had enough?

Strength through Peace.

Stars endorsing presidential candidates? Why yes!!! I'll buy their products too!
*heads to bathroom to puke*

Oooh, wow. An endorsement from some cheesy F-list "actor". Is this Huckabee guy serious? We're supposed to vote for him because Chuck Norris says so? I think that's a great reason NOT to vote for him. Really, Chuck Norris? Thanks for the laugh, CNN!

Hey John, you dim witted fool, the reason you can't find the bridge between animal and man is the fact that our ancestors killed off the bridge specieces. Humans and the "bridge" competed for territory and food, and just like human nature, we killed them for control of it. Survival of the fittest.

As for Chuck Norris, I'd rather be endorsed by Chuck Woolery. The ladies love that dude.

Absolutely pathetic!

Although I disagree with many of Hucabee and Norris beliefs, I am glad they are adding some light hearted fun to the campaign. I love the plan to protect the borders ad running in Iowa, Mike Huckabees plan to protect the borders-–Chuck Norris, funny!

WHY?!?! who is chuck norris in the america today??? cant we vote for someone without a celebrity endorsement??? isnt this about the future of our country?? would JFK need celebrities (if you still consider chuck norris a celebrity) to help his cause? this is ridiculous. if someone likes huckabee more now because he has chuck norris by his side then that person should be aloud to vote!!!

Norris + the Huckster = 2 bad actors

Chuck Norris won't attend the debate -the debate will attend Chuck Norris.

Hilarious! I bet Clinton is envious of Ric Flair's endorsement. Now if only middle school boys were allowed to vote Huckabee would have a chance.

Chuck Norris = evangelical Christian + violence acting on TV.

Weird.

What a joke. Why should we give a flip who Chuck Norris or any other celebrity (ie: Oprah) endorses? Don't we have our own brains to make decisions with? Why do we need some egotistical celebs telling us who to support?

A match made in fascist hell.

The height of distinctly modern American idiocy. Two asinine, bigoted, white supremacist, faux-macho, gun-wielding Bible-thumping dim-bulbed lunatics vying for media attention (another distinctly modern American sickness) so that both can get richer and more powerful. Disgusting.

If thsi is the best Huckabee can do then GOD save his campaign. You just cannot afford to get anyone to campaign for a candidaye. Of all Norris. Gimme a break.

Mike Huckabee was the worst governor has ever had in his 10.5 year tenure. He's out of touch with the working class. His views on taxes & education are skewed. Look at his record of govenor of arkansas. We had nearly a 1 billion surplus due to excessive taxation under his watch.

Let's cut to the brass tacks. Who is Bill O'Blowhard endorsing?

"When Chuck Norris does a push up, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the world down," Huckabee says.

When Huckabee stands up, he's standing against progress.

Wow. Seriously, what is this? How is it news that the guy from "Sidekicks" is endorsing anyone? The best part is, Huckabee supporters are actually excited about it. It's ridiculous stuff like this that makes Liberals like myself think Republicans are not even the same species. You guys are so dumb it's painful.

That said, the statement that Huckabee is "not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs" is about the scariest thing I've ever heard. Hey Chuck and Huck, you guys want to live in a theocracy? Move to Saudi Arabia. I'll stick with my secular government fueled by religion-free intellectualism.

Kucinich in '08.

This is utterly pathetic. Conservatives attack liberals for being too cozy with Hollywood, but when a minor Hollywood icon pays a little attention to them, they go nuts for the guy. The hypocrisy of the ultra-right wing in this country beggars description.

Could we please have an Athiest in the White House? We've had two 'Christains', Carter and King George – how'd that work out?

Who the hell is Chuck Norris to tell me how to practice my beliefs? What happened to the seperation of church and state? Once again a right-wing idiot running for Prez.

Chuck Norris? Mr. Mindless Violence isn't exactly a wise choice. I guess John Rambo wasn't available? All I can say is, I'm glad I live in Canada. Someone mentioned that Mike Huckabee is 1,000 times better than Bush....1,000 times zero is still zero. Check it on your abacus, it's true.

No doubt Chuck Norris will be providing details of his military service to his country?

Well, I mean, how can you address the military needs in Iraq unless you are speaking from first-hand experience?

Oh, that's right! Chuck is one of those avowed gasbags that knows what's best for the country, militarily, as long as he doesn't have to serve!

His war pics are a laugh, too; no man was allowed to have a beard in service, because your gas mask and other breathing apparatus wouldn't properly adhere to your face – but not Chuck, he could breathe gas and get even stronger, right, neocons?!

Neato!

Brent, Houston TX, right on point!

This whole "celebrities hitting the campaign trail" is becoming trite and a sure sign of desperation. Who gives a rat's patooty who these celebrities think the best candidate is? The candidates, if they can, need to clearly articulate what they plan to do to repair our great country and get us back on the road to decency, honesty, prosperity, and hope for all. The American voters are plenty capable of selecting their own candidate without having some publicity-seeking celebrity telling them who they should vote for. In fact, it's rather insulting. Gee, I hope Hillary continues doing what she's doing so well right now (explaining her positions, telling us her visions for America) without having some so-called celebrity hit the campaign trail with/for her.

we already have a president pushing the world down. do we really need another?

Sandy, St. Paul, MN, please don't speak of the Clinton in that tone!

I hope Chuck roundhouse kicks him in the face.

Like Oprah is so imbued with talent? Whatever.

stand up for a creator – more religious right wing BS – chuck you ought to be ashamed of yourself – in your martial arts career you dealt with types of people – black, white, brown , gay and straight, christian, jew, muslim, etc. and now you turn your back on all of them – shame – shame

Is Huckabee/Norris the next Republican gay controversy? Laf.

LOSERS.

Norris has WAY too much time on his hands...

First Chuck Norris, now Ric Flair. It's official– the Mike Huckabee campaign is the most action-packed of them all. Huck should have a new slogan: "Mike Huckabee... His supporters can kick your supporters' -"

chuck who ??? – you have to be kidding – politics has reach another low – martial artist turned actor now puts in his 2 cents worth or well – news actually reachs an all time low

Chuck Norris and Oprah should fight to the death. The candidate of the fight winner will get the nomination. I know you think Oprah is no match for Norris. But I think your wrong.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Oprah supporting Obama prompted numerous posts that it was a thinly veiled racial move that was political mistake and misuse of Oprah's influence but that a Chuck Norris endorsement is perfectly acceptable?

Will there be enough room on the stage for Huckabee, Chuck Norris, and his "Total Gym"? Hmmm...

I've finally figured it out. I was attempting to find out the deal with this guy and it came to me. He's the Ron Paul counter. The establishment couldn't figure out what to do about Ron Paul, so they "assisted" Huckabee. It's almost obvious for the well informed. I also see the need for Chuck to be there with Mike. No one would visit Mikes tent at the strawpoll, but if Chuck Norris was there, it might (slight might) take away from Pauls tent.

I'll still vote for Paul as he is the better man, but I have to admire the "pushing" of Huckabee onto the Repubs.

What would be really funny is the look on Pat Robertsons face if Mike scores higher than Rudy. That would be funny. Would he "switch sides" or feel ashamed for picking a non-Christian?

Who's milking who here? Chuck's career is circling the drain. He's doing infomercials. Now someone's going to put him in a spotlight? I think Huck might be endorsing him, actually.

Poor Chuck Norris. All that money of his, and look at that rug on his head. Poor thing, almost looks as bad as a comb-over.

This might be the only debate I'll waste my time watching!

Chuck Norris won't attend the debate -the debate will attend Chuck Norris.

I'm so glad the compassionate conservative christian republicans don't gloat in their Holly'weird' endorsements like the Democrats do.

Chuck Norris... isn't he the guy that sells that tacky flimsy exercise stuff on TV for exhorbitant prices to really dumb people?

Yes, he should be able to sell Huckabee too.

Style, over substance... way to go Mike. Lets sacrifice what little respect you had left by parading around a B-list washed up TV actor, and a washed-up TV wrestler (sorry Flair, you should have retired 2 decades ago). But lets get serious for a moment – we have soldiers dying out there. People are losing their jobs to a weakened economy. People are losing the roof over their head due to the housing crunch. People are dying prematurely because they can't afford proper healthcare. What, exactly, do you plan on doing to fix that Mr. Huckabee? Chuck Norris can't help you there.

A has-been endorsing a never-was. Politics are so silly.

Chuck Norris is leading a campaign to bring prayer to public schools which is why he's endorsing Huckabee. Number 1, I could never see the United States having a President Huckabee. That would just be too weird. Number 2, people are certainly more than able to take their children to schools taught in church without imposing their religious beliefs on me and my children. Whatever I believe religiously is no one's business and should not be forced down the throats of others. Also, the Bible is a fairy tale of sorts that you either believe in or not. It has not been proven and therefore cannot be taught in public schools as fact. Religion has been the driving force behind prejudice, hatred (to extremists) and 9 out of the last 10 wars faught in this world. I do not want my children learning religion in school when they can be taught that in church and for this reason I will not support Huckabee. I will also never watch another Chuck Norris movie again.

In exchange for Norris's endorsement, the gov. has changed his name to Mike Chuckabee

I have a great deal of respect for Governor Huckabee, and at the very least, hope that he earns a place on the ticket as a candidate for Vice President. I have even supported him with a contribution. However, what appears to be geniune and substantive growing interest in his campaign could quickly fade if he continues to flaunt Mr. Norris and Mr. Flair before those of us who are taking him and his candidacy for President serious. I'm sure that they are good and decent men. However, the continous nature of these endorements threaten to undermine his respectibility.

Please fix your spelling. I'm siuck of all the typos!

No comment needed.

CNN this is not news – how many Huckabee articles are you planing to make for this week?

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.

Chuck Norris’ hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.

I would listen to Chuck before i wouldlisten to see what wounderful thing i have done all by myself look look'y at me ....YES ME EVERYONE LOOK AT ME THE WOUNDERFUL "OPRAH". and i promise i wont turn your helpless KIDS over to any perverts and just leave them until i cant ignore it anymore... Go get em Chuck.. as a matter of fact lets nominate Chuck for president...HE'S got my VOTE ! ! !

Please fix your spelling. I'm siuck of all the typos!

"for brining"

Now, I want to see all the folks crying about Oprah endorsing Barack in here doing the same! After all, this is a White guy endorsing a White guy. Hmmm...
He can't be genuine, can he?

Chuck who?

Let's compare two back-to-back blog posts. The first notes Oprah is going to "hit the trail" in support of Obama. The next talks about Mike Huckabee "milking" Chuck Norris' endorsement for all it's worth. So it's ok for Oprah to be so proactive but not so much for Chuck. I know these two posts were written by different authors, but didn't anybody on staff over there notice the discrepancy?? If you passively criticize one, you need to passively criticize the other – it's the American way.

Posted By Brent, Houston TX : November 26, 2007 11:44 am

Apples and oranges, Brent. It's a common occurrence for celebrities to appear at campaign functions. it is NOT a common occurrence to have celebrities appear at debates.

Leading hand sanitizers claim they can kill 99.9 percent of germs. Chuck Norris can kill 100 percent of whatever he wants.

The Chuck Norris endorsement makes Huckabee a virtual shoe-in for the Whitehouse. However, with Steven Seagal and Jackie Chan still silent there is still hope for the other candidates.

Thank you CNN for this important information!

And if one of his opponents says something he doesn't like, Huckabee will have Chuck Norris whup 'em.

Just what we need, a President who will "stand up for a Creator". Do we really want a President that doesn't believe in Evolution???

Chuck has also wrote a series of articles in his weekly column at World Net Daily defending Mike's platform of issues... http://worldnetdaily.com/news/archives.asp?AUTHOR_ID=274

The USA will do well to elect Governor Huckabee!

Go Huck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vertical politics is very refreshing. Go Huckabee!

"The only flak I get is from people who wish they had them"

yeah. right.
