Chuck Norris Endorses Newt Gingrich, Saves Democracy With His Gaze

» 58 comments

Well, it looks like Walker, Texas Ranger is following closely on the boot heels of Perry, Texas Governor. That’s right, just like Rick Perry before him, Chuck Norris has endorsed Newt Gingrich for president. It’s weird because, from what I’ve gathered on the Internet, Chuck Norris doesn’t typically endorse candidates publicly. He merely thinks about them and all the other candidates die instantly.

In his regular column for the conservative site World Net Daily, Norris explained that “our republic as America’s founders created it is under assault” and repeated 10 questions that he had previously put forth to choose who will get his vote. These include who will best beat President Obama and who is most committed to the Constitution. He then explained that he and his wife felt that Gingrich fit the best.

“For my wife, Gena, and I, we sincerely believe former Speaker Newt Gingrich is the answer to most of those questions and deserves our endorsement and vote.

We agree with our friend and governor of the great state of Texas, Rick Perry, when he suspended his campaign and endorsed Gingrich, that Newt ‘has the heart of a conservative reformer.’ We believe Newt’s experience, leadership, knowledge, wisdom, faith and even humility to learn from his failures (personal and public) can return America to her glory days. And he is the best man left on the battlefield who is able to outwit, outplay and outlast Obama and his campaign machine.”

Also like Perry, Norris explained away the issues in Gingrich’s past, reminding readers that “we all have skeletons in our closet.” And he implored Gingrich to utilize “the expertise and skill sets” of the other candidates.

Remember, the only reason Newt Gingrich can save America, is because Chuck Norris says he can save America.

    * In a debate with Newt Gingrich, the only issue up for debate is whether or not he’ll let you live.
    * Newt Gingrich doesn’t make contracts with America anymore. America makes contracts with him.
    * Newt Gingrich doesn’t spin in the post-debate spin room. Everyone else spins around him.
    * Newt Gingrich doesn’t need your endorsement. You need his.
    * Newt Gingrich once saw someone make a turn to the left while driving on the highway. The body was never identified.
    * There is only one key demographic that matters in TV news ratings and his name is Newt Gingrich.
    * In a Newt Gingrich interview, there are no “gotcha questions,” only suicide attempts.

    He’s just pandering to his Walker Texas Ranger fan base… All 6 of them.

    Humility?
    Gingrich?
    I would never put those two words in the same sentence.
    Skeletons in the closet? That is an understatement.

    the funny thing is conservatives have no sense of irony and don’t get the Norris jokes. They think “Walker” was actually a quality show.

    He’s a pussyhawk, like Grinch.

    Chick Norris was vocally supporting Ron Paul but then found out that (unlike his endorsement of Huckabee in ’08) there are no perks that come with endorsing true liberty (no Faux News interviews, no hobnobbing with VIPs over cocktail… etc

    In what I think was his first movie, Chuck Norris lost to Bruce Lee.

    He, Norris, was called Cobra, and he fought to the death, even knowing that he would lose. He lost “with great honor,” which is something Newt will never be able to do.

    Life has never been fair to Gingrich in Gingrich’s opinion.

    There are entire web sites dedicated to Chuck Norris jokes, bottom line you don’t f**k around with Chuck Norris.. I like the annology to Newt Gingrich, Newt OWNED Juan Williams and John King in the last 2 debates, the leftys threw down the frayed race card with Juan, are they now going to throw down the bully card for what Newt did to John King? Are they willing to OUT the girlie man that is John King? Such a dilemma.

    Gingrich is assembling a rogues gallery of endorsements by the nation’s nuttiest celebrities!

    Do you think there will designer plates and trading cards?

    I can see an oil painting on black felt hanging in my living room!
    You go Newt!

    you obviously no nothing about Chuck Norris.

    go over the Netflicks and buy yourself a clue

    he’s fought in just about every war there’s been

    he’s a true patriot

    and his endorsement means quite a bit to our nation

    the only reason his Texas Walker Ranger show was canceled is because the libs control CBS

    all of them

  • Чёрт Возьми

    We “Lefties” are happy to see Gingrich win now. He will be destroyed in the general election. He is like the Roman Emperors, thinking he is god-like and infallible. His ego and his appetite for power, money, and sex will be his undoing.

    Chuck Has a lot of accomplishments other than Walker, but nothing that should make anyone care  who he likes for POTUS.

  • Anonymous

    It was cancelled because ge’s a terrible actor, it was a terrible show and it didn’t have an audience. That’s the thing about the entertainment industry. As long as a show is making money the producers don’t care. Need I remind you a the show Full House? Your Lib conspiracy theory is just plain nuts.

    I am sure Chuck will be labeled a racist before it’s all over.

    A television tough guy named Chuck

    At least he doesn’t have to resort to making an anonymous comment on mediaite to make his point.  I think he might be embarrassed for you. That is, if you were anyone of any consequence, which you aren’t since you don’t even use your own name. Just like Barry/Barack, using aliases for some unknown reason.

    Look, Norris had a career as an actor and he was successful.  He has a career as a writer/editorialist, and he is successful.  Liberals hate him for both jobs.  The common piece to this is that they hate anyone who is successful based on their own works.  There is that word “work” again.  Liberals are afraid of that one!

  • Tucsonense

    Sorry Burt, 
    It is obvious from your posts that ANY criticism of your hero, Chuck Norris, really gets under your skin. (Oh, sorry about that Avatar)
    Chuck  wouldn’t be embarrassed of me, he doesn’t even know me.  because I am no one of consequence. Just a person commenting on a wed-site.

    Thanks,

  • Tucsonense

    You are correct, Chuck Norris has had a very, very successful acting career! Made lots of money. But, most people would argue that writing an editorial column for a fringe website “world net daily” doesn’t not make him a SUCCESSFUL writer/editorialist.

    When Chuck does pushups he pushes the world down….

    Chuck Noriss is an idot and I’d say it to his face. Here are the numbers when Democrats control congress.

    Reagan (1981-1988)      14.8 million Jobs created when we had a manufacturing sector.Bush 41   (1989-1992)      3.4 millionJobs Clinton  (1993-2000)      23.4 millionJobs, raised taxes on wealthy and passed NAFTABush 43 (2001-2005)       1.7 millionJobs, results from NAFTA and tax breaks for the rich.Totals:  Democrats 23.4 in 8 years and Republicans 19.9 for 20 years, per the Bureau Of Labor Statistics, of free market politics and no results. Now you make the decision about Americas trade policies and tax polices.Bush created 1 million jobs by his third year in office and Obama has created 1.6 million jobs. When democrats control the Congress and presidency we will prosper, but when Republicans take powere. the 1% thrive, and we go into debt every time. When Reagan took office in 1980, the National Debt stood at about $1 trillion. Here’s what happened over the next 18 years:1980-88– Reagan total debt increase 3 trillion [300% -- 40% per year]1988-92– Bush 1 total debt increase 2 trillion [200%] — 50% per year]1992-2000– Clinton total debt increase 1.5 trillion — [150% -- 20% per year]2000-08– Bush 2 — total debt increase 4 trillion [400% -- 50% per year]

    What a load that is. I love Chuck for his action flicks and admire the discipline and didication it takes to be a world class athelete. I even like and agree with a lot of the sentiment presented in Walker. Hell, I owned a total gym.

    None of those things I admire about Norris make his poltical opinion 1 tiny speck more valuable and informed than mine or anyones. So he Supports Gingrich? BFD!  So what, and who cares other than the media and a few with celebrity fixation.

    Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Speaker
    Gingrich during his term, including claiming tax-exempt status for a college
    course run for political purposes. However we say it, Mr. Gingrich is all about
    the money(ask wife number three).  In a
    recent story, “Gingrich was ask to return the estimated $1.6 million he
    received for providing strategic advice to Freddie Mac, the quasi-government
    agency (an agency that has lost millions) that guarantees home mortgages.
    Gingrich has said he acted as a historian, not a lobbyist”.  A “historian”, is that the history of
    greed?  He may just sell you a book on
    it!

    Most committed to the constitution = Ron Paul. The one who has polled better at beating Obama is Ron Paul, he would get more independent votes, if he were the Republican nominee he would get most of the republican votes and Ron Paul is supported more by the military and young voters.

    the only irony i see is to describe Obama’s presidency as successful.
