Danger: Chuck Norris On The Horizon

Thu Jun 25 2009 12:43:00 GMT-0400 (EDT) | by Arjun Jaikumar

DC pundit Chris Cillizza recently handicapped the Hierarchy of Political Endorsements, and we thought it would be an interesting time to bring them out in light of the endorsements Florida Gov. Charlie Crist is losing to his primary opponent, Marco Rubio. Following is Mr. Cillizza's ranking of the (desired) endorsements for political candidates:

A quick primer on the endorsement hierarchy -- from most to least important:

The Symbolic Endorsement: Ted Kennedy backing Barack Obama during the 2008 primaries.

The State-Specific Statewide Endorsement: Florida Gov. Charlie Crist throwing his support to John McCain just before the Sunshine State presidential primary.

The Celebrity Endorsement: Chuck Norris for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee

The Newspaper Endorsement: Des Moines Register for John Edwards in 2004.

The State-Specific Non-Statewide Endorsement: Rep. Zack Space supporting Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher's Senate bid in Ohio.

The Obligatory Endorsement: Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran endorsing McCain's presidential bid in 2008.

Unfortunately for Crist - whose own endorsement apparently carried Heavy Import during the 2008 campaign - Rubioooooooooooo! is sporting some heavy hitters of his own.

The Symbolic Endorsement: Former Arkansas Governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee
The Symbolic Endorsement Part II: U.S. Senator and archconservative icon Jim DeMint
The State-Specific Non-Statewide Endorsement: U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller (FL-01)

No celebrity endorsements, yet, but now that Rubio has Huckabee, can Chuck Norris be far behind? Governor Crist ought to be terrified.

Obviously, you must live under a rock and lack any substantial education. The author of this post is not Muslim. Anyone with a 3rd grade education would recognize that a Muslim would not be named for an exalted Hindu warrior(Arjun). I am sure this is a distinction you cannot make because you are only capable of grunts and shrieks. Now that you have learned something, you may consider your day less than a complete waste and return to grunting.

When are you (America) going to learn that the left-wing democrats are going to bankrupt this country while it slowing minimizes your constitutional rights? When?
Get ready for:
1) Nationalized health (AKA rationalized health)
2) Bye Bye Second Amendment
3) Bye Bye First Amendment (without the second you can't defend the first or any other for that matter)
4) triple digit electricity bills
5) $6.00/ gallon of gas
6) 20%+ credit interest rates
7) 30% inflation
8) 10% unemployment...always.
9) Devalue of the dollar
10)Enemies laughing at us
11)Tax funded abortion and no choice for Dr's to perform them
12)12 Trillion Dollar deficit
13)Protectionism
14)Unionized labor everywhere
I could go on all day, but you get the message...I hope.
2010 is not too late to vote these Democrat elitists out of office.

Well, you can tell LOL (above) has been drinking Rush's kool aid. The right is doing a good job of scaring the hell out of folks. Right wing nuts like Rep. Michele Bachman of MN, Alan Keyes and and Michael Steele (aka Amos N Andy), Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, etc. are falling all over themselves, spreading some of the most insidious lies ever concocted. That's right. The left wing radicals are gonna ruin this country. just what the said in the '60s. GET OVER IT. You Republicans lost. Go crawl back in your holes.

Hi Peter, Please share this post with other contributors both Democrat and Republican on this list. Refrain from flaming. Instead go out to your Victory Garden and pull weeds as I think we are a long way from economic stability in this country. And self sufficiency in food production is a good thing. Best, Steve

Regarding NoBarra's, list of why Americans need to fear the Democrats...........He's pretty much provided us with of a list of Republican Leadership Screw-up over the last eight years! I suggest he pull his head out of his you-know-what and stop listening to that fat drug addled man-pig Limbaugh.
