I'm not about to click on a video that doesn't have more explanation than that.

It's safe--it's just a waste of time. Huckabee spewing campaign rhetoric.

I saw that the other day, and I'm still confused. Is it a real campaign ad?

Add me to that?

Can't be real BUT if it is?Huh?? The guy doesn't have a lot of respect for voters (but then neither do I).

Maybe he's figured it out...

If it was done as "Vote for me and Chuck Norris will kick Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the head", he'd get more votes.  grin

Hmm. That'd work. Chuck Norris as Secretary of State! Hell with sanctions. Misbehave and he'll kick you in the head.

Forget bombing Iran, Chuck Norris will merely roundhouse kick it off the planet.

I like it.  But is America ready for a President who doesn't act like he has a large stick in an uncomfortable place?

I like Huckabee.  As Archie said.
He seems to be more of the type of conservative that existed before those that came after Ronald Reagan and rotten pudinditry made conservative politics more about demonizing people and less about running the country.

Regardless of my opinion of Huckabee, I can't help but find the introduction of a lame internet meme (CHUCK NORRIS!!!!) into the national political discourse a little disturbing.

People take themselves too seriously these days; that includes politicians.  It's nice to see a politician that doesn't take themselves too seriously.

(but serious enough.)

Shows how serious I take this presidential race, because I fear we're pretty much boned no matter how we vote in this election.

It's better to laugh than cry.

And given the choices of candidates we currently have, I'm thinking we're probably gonna be doing some of the latter.

Heck, I think it's funny. And a good sign.
 
And I wonder how many takes they had to do to get everyone to do their thing with a straight face. I'd LOVE to see the outtakes.
 
As for strategy? We now know what his message is, and what his name is. A LOT of folks had essentially never heard of him. Works for me.

It really does get tiring hearing politicians tell me they are hunters so they will support my 2nd amendment rights.  Most of the rights I am concerned about don't really have a lot to do with hunting.

Is Huckabee the idiot who believes the earth is only 6000 years old and dinosaur bones were put here by Satan to confuse us?

Oh, yeah, that's Presidential material.  rolleyes

He's one of several.
I've long since come to terms that I'll hate everyone in politics for something.  If I was a single issue voter, i'd probably become a brady suicide statistic.

Huckabee is one of several presidential candidates I could hold my nose and vote for.  Wether it's him saying the earth is 6000 years old, or Edwards saying handgun ownership is a privilege, I could find a disqualifier in any caididate running.  Sometimes I just have to let things go.

Gun ownership and science vs. creationism are two things I shouldn't have to just "let go" but, its the world we live in, at least until I become President.  (Fear THAT.)
