Chuck Norris for president … of Texas
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/03/11/art.norris0311.gi.jpg caption="If the State of Texas ever left the Union, Chuck Norris is interested in being president of the newly independent country."] (CNN) – Actor Chuck Norris has his eyes on the presidency, but not the White House. Norris wrote that he would be interested in becoming the president of Texas, if the state were ever to secede from the Union.
“I may run for president of Texas,” Norris wrote Monday in a column posted at WorldNetDaily. “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”
The actor claimed “thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation” and said that if states decide to secede from the union, that Texas would lead the way.
“Anyone who has been around Texas for any length of time knows exactly what we'd do if the going got rough in America,” Norris wrote.
“Let there be no doubt about that.” Norris was a strong supporter of Mike Huckabee’s presidential bid, and he helped to draw attention to the former Arkansas governor’s campaign.

As a Texan I would add that we have a BALANCED budget and we contribute more to the GNB then any other state!
You would miss us terribly; there wouldn't be enough money to re-distribute!
Also those of us that sleep lightly at night because of the Drug Wars in Mexico, which the current Administration is not addressing at all already KNOW WE ARE ON OUR OWN!
LONE STAR
Typical republican! They think only an America governed by their twisted ideology is a good America, And they call themselves patriots. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't be any more of a joke than Obama being the president of the USA. Both are celebrities and both say stupid things.
Chuck, stick to B rated Television shows and Movies and Leave thinking to the ones that can count past there Fingers and Toes.
I like the idea of giving Texas back to MEXICO. Would the deal include Mr Bush and family?
WOW. I am not sure whether to laugh at him or really start worrying about the conservatives. This is crazy talk. Maybe it is too many blows to the head.
Good for you Chuck. Way to show the country that you're not a loon! Yay!............wow.
How about president of dopes?
Yeah and Sarah Palin can be president of Alaska! Texas is a red state Chuck Norris can have it!
What a joke! Poor Republicans, they just can't seem to find anybody viable to head any office.
Chuck man, I grew up watching your movies, you're a wise man, and I agree with you totally, the states should break away from the union. The union is broke, literally, in more ways than one. I think you would make an awesome president. Unfortunately I don't live in Texas, but hey if it happens, maybe I'll move there!
Really? I just lost a lot of respect for that gym peddler. And I wonder is O'Reilly, Hannity and Rush will call this guy a traitor or will they flip this story and make it be about what makes this "great patriot" feel this way. Can't wait to hear this get the Daily Show treatment. Don't wait Chucky baby, go now. Move!
For all of those who write old Chuck off as seditious or insane, please check your history books. Texas, unlike South Carolina or any other state actually has the right to secede. That was part of the deal when the Republic of Texas joined the US. They can bail any time they want – legally.
people like him are really scary. what a jerk!!! the scary part is that there are right wing bible thumping "Patriots" who actually think like him.....
Cut and run huh.
What would Andrew Jackson do to Chuck Norris?
Chuckie will be hanging in the nearest tree...... a good place for traitors
Too many kicks to the head?
The idiocracy of this nut case never ceases to amaze me!
Dang, Texas would really have the slogan "Don't mess with Texas then." Cuz all the military who are proud supporters of our country would move there...........not support this phony Obama guy. Heck, I'd move there if I wasn't in a touring band.
Yup, those Texans are real patriots. Until the going gets rough.
..
HAHAHAHA!
And yes, if you've seen the Daily Show with John Stewart where his correspondent goes to Wasilla, Alaska (Palin's hometown), then you know that Todd Palin was/is a part of the Alaskan separatist movement. I wouldn't call these guys terrorists though, just wack jobs.
Now who's the terrorist?
Chuck: you're still not on "Walker: Texas Ranger", you dolt.
IT WAS A SHOW, NOT REALITY.
What a moron.
What's up with the GOP lately? I didn't think it was full of freaks but now I'm not so sure. . .
Typical repuke! They believe only an America governed by their twisted ideology is a good America. I guess they think secesion is patriotic what a joke! Rush may have found his running mate! lol
Hey, Chuck Norris decides if Texas does anything. If he says they can secede then the can...
