Mike Huckabee is Chuck Norris Approved!

Chuck Norris is nothing short of an Internet phenomenon. How and why this happened is anyones guess. The big question is if Chuck Norris can influence enough people to make Mike Huckabee a contender for the upcoming elections. Everyone has heard of Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama but many average Joe's can't name anything relevant about Mike Huckabee. Let's take a look at Mike Huckabee and Chuck Norris and see what they are all about.

Mike Huckabee

Michael Dale "Mike" Huckabee was born on August 24, 1955. He is most known as the former Governor of Arkansas who won very high praise while in office. Hmm..That sounds a little familiar. Mike Huckabee is also an author and ordained Southern Baptist minister. Being a minister should give him an edge with the religious voters who are extremely numerous. Mike Huckabee is against: Same sex marriage, gun control and abortion. He supports: the death penalty, the war in Iraq, and allowing illegal immigrants to become citizens a little bit easier than they can now.

What does this mean to me and you? Well, personally I feel religion has no place in government and an ordained minister taking office is a little scary to me. Mike Huckabee supports creationism and doesn't believe in evolution. He thinks schools should teach both and let the children decide. I won't get into the religious aspects of Mike Huckabee but if used improperly, his religious influence could be very hard to handle.

Mike Huckabee is currently tied in first place among Republicans.

Chuck Norris

Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris was born on March 10, 1940. He is best known for his ability to kick ass and take names. He trained with Bruce Lee and was in the movie "Return of the Dragon" as the villain. Of course most people know him from Walker: Texas Ranger. An hour long show that ran for 8 years and is still shown as reruns on a couple channels. Not the best show but it was ok.

Chuck Norris is a conservative and has demonstrated his support for the Republican party on many occasions. Chuck Norris has also donated over $30,000 to various Republican candidates.

Not long ago, Chuck Norris turned into an Internet phenomenon with "Chuck Norris facts" popping up all over the place. Some of these are pretty funny and they caught on in blogs and forums like a wildfire. Here are a few:

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris doesn't read books, he stares them down until he gets all the information he wants.

What can Chuck Norris actually do to help Mike Huckabee?

This is where a lot of debate is arising. Celebrities have been endorsing Presidential candidates forever but something has changed. That something is the Internet. If given a choice, the average Internet user would gladly hang out with Chuck Norris over Barbara Streisand or Oprah who are supporting Clinton and Obama.

Why? Well to be honest, sure all the large black women sitting at home might possibly be swayed by Oprah's hypnotic spiel because many consider Oprah to be some kind of trusted role model. Why? Who knows and who cares. Not to be mean but black women are NOT targeted by political candidates. This is because they are a minority and unfortunately their vote isn't high priority. Streisand....Might as well be supported by Big Bird. They look the same. That era is over.

That leaves everyone else. Guess what? Everyone likes Chuck Norris. He hasn't been busted driving drunk, snorting cocaine off underage hookers, and he doesn't hang out with Paris Hilton. Win, Win, Win.

Mike Huckabee definitely got the right person to support him. People naturally relate to Chuck Norris and view him as an authority figure due to his movies and of course, Walker: Texas Ranger.

Things to Consider

Mike Huckabee definitely has a shot now. Chuck Norris is and always has been popular among everyone. Imagine if you will, a trailer park in the Southern US. I guarantee this combination of ass kicker and Baptist minister will get people off their couch and to the polls. Well, if not, they will go straight to Hell after getting their ass kicked by Chuck Norris right?

Do you really want to mix THAT much religion into the Oval Office? That's very scary. Mike Huckabee is a Baptist minister, supports the war in Iraq, and has someone backing him that has enough influence to get all kinds of people interested in what he has to say.
