Should We Let Texas Secede?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyYesterday, Texas Governor Rick Perry (guess his party affiliation) ratcheted up his rhetoric against what he sees as an overly-intrusive federal government. At a ceremony with state lawmakers, Perry voiced support for a Texas resolution that singles out the Lone Star state's love of the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Here's Perry:"I believe that our federal government has become oppressive. I believe it's become oppressive in its size, in its intrusion into the lives of our citizens and its interference with the affairs of our state," Perry said. He said Texas has economic strength, ...
Chuck Norris' Marching Orders For Obama
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWhat are the odds? Two Chuck Norris stories in one day. What a country.The erstwhile Huckabee endorser and fictional law enforcer published an open letter to the President-Elect, and the message is clear: I am your boss-man. Seriously. It's called "Obama, Now That You Work for Me." Here are a few of Chuck's directives (with my commentary): --Use and cite the Constitution. ... You should be quoting from the Constitution publicly as often as a preacher quotes the Bible to his congregation -- at least weekly. If you take this oath and challenge seriously, you will limit the powers of federal ...
Rahm Facts Take Page From Chuck Norris
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: The creators of Rahm Facts provided this bit of correction in the comments section: Hey Tommy, We're the creators of Rahm Facts - thanks for posting about us! Just for the record, our intent was definitely NOT to sour people on Rahm. We love the guy, DLC or no, and we think he's an awesome chief of staff pick. If the facts on our site made you like Rahm a little more, that is exactly what we're going for. I stand corrected. There's a new website, patterned after the viral and quirky ChuckNorrisFacts.com ("If you have $5 and Chuck Norris has $5, Chuck Norris has more money than you."), ...
Chuck Norris on Janet Huckabee
By Dave - Politics DailyChuck Norris talks about Janet Huckabee, apparently not giving up: This is probably the first presidential race in history in which the contenders' spouses all have been subjected to intense scrutiny, too. Still true, however, is the maxim: Behind every great man is a great woman. And epitomizing that accolade is Janet Huckabee, who deserves highlighted attention in this final installment of my endorsement series, especially because her character is also now under attack. The more I've gotten to know about her the more impressed I've become. ... If the media's only accusation of her is to ...
Coulter to Huck's Rescue on Confederate Flag
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs I reported here last week, Mike Huckabee courted pro-Confederate voters in South Carolina last week by defending the flying of the Confederate flag. On the heels of that stump speech, conservative author Ann Coulter came to Huckabee's defense, in an appearance on Fox News' Hannity and Colmes. In the clip, she incorrectly states that "...the majority of military bases in this country are named after Confederate officers. Eisenhower, Nimitz..." Coulter is known for making inflammatory statements, often while publicizing one of her many books. In the past, she has used an anti-gay slur against ...
What Victory Sounds Like
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWhen Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama came to the microphone lat last night, each man offered a stirring victory speech, albeit in contrasting styles. Obama seemed to recapture the spark of his soaring Democratic Convention oration, denouncing the partisan divide that reigns over America, and bringing his crowd to near frenzy. Watch.By contrast, Huckabee stuck with soft, dulcet tones, keeping Chuck Norris on the verge of tears. Like Obama, he spoke of defying the establishment, taking the country back for the people, and working to heal political division. Here's Mike:By and large, if you ...
Wearing the Wisdom of Chico Resch
By Greg Wyshynski - AOL NewsI once interviewed former NHL goalie and current Devils TV commentator Glenn "Chico" Resch in what ended up being close to a three-hour telephone conversation of funny recollections from an old-school soul surveying a new hockey landscape. There's an undeniable charm to the guy; he's one of those local broadcasters whose lack of cynicism and occasional (Devils fans: "Occasional?") state of befuddlement creates a perfect storm for factual goofs and folksy sayings -- or, as they have been defined, "Chicoisms."A "Chicoism" is "an endearing and often goofy description during live hockey telecasts" ...
Where's Chuck Norris When You Need Him?
By Denise Williams - Politics Daily(via Wonkette): It appears as if there was a little kerfluffle backstage at the GOP CNN/YouTube Debate the other night. Something about wanting to touch the Huck. John Shea the editor of something called The American Reporter (Warning! Really Bad Website) who was trying to get Gov. Huckabee's attention got the attention of a campaign aide who was promptly thrown to the floor by the burly American Reporter. Chuck Norris was no where in sight. ...
Welcome to the 2008 LOLection®
By Brandon Barker - Politics DailyYep, it's official: This is the silliest election on record. How do we know for sure? When one man -- a man with no formal connection to politics and government -- can singlehandedly alter the rankings of the 2008 Republican candidates, and when that man doesn't have a chin under his beard but another fist, well, then you know that even Chuck Norris may be afraid. Here are the facts so far: This entire election is going to hinge on one type of person. She's young. She's a woman. Sometimes, she dances on her desk at work. So far, that's all we know. But the politicians are antsy and the media ...
Huckabee From Out of Nowhere
By David Knowles - Politics DailyFormer Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has catapulted to the front of the Republican field in the state of Iowa, effectively turning the contest into a two-person race. As the Washington Post reports, Huckabee has tripled his support in Iowa since July, and now trails only Mitt Romney by a margin-of-error thin margin. Specifically, Huckabee, an ordained minister who does not believe in evolution, is drawing his support from the conservative wing of the party:He saw a 28-percentage-point jump in support from evangelical Protestants, to 44 percent, and a 19-point rise among conservatives, to 30 ...
