Huckabee: Vote for me or Chuck Norris gets you




DES MOINES, Iowa -- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says he's seeing a recent uptick in his fundraising after a slow third quarter and says it didn't hurt that action star Chuck Norris's endorsement last Monday has given him a new idea to attract Iowa caucus goers.



Of course, Huckabee's narrow second place finish in last weekend's "values-voter" forum straw poll in Washington held by the conservative Family Research Council may have helped do more to elevate the former governor's name since his second place finish in the Iowa Straw Poll in Ames in August.



Still, said Huckabee (pictured above), don't underestimate the Norris (pictured at right) factor.

"I think now people are afraid not to vote for me," Huckabee said before he appeared at the Iowa Republican Party's seventh annual Reagan fundraising dinner.

"We're going to put Chuck on their doorstep and he's going to put his right heel on the right side of their faces if they don't help us in the caucuses. That's our new strategy."

Huckabee said he "never met or talked to" Norris but said his choice of a candidate was "obviously indicative of the fact that Chuck Norris is an incredibly intellectual-superior human being as well as a physical specimen of great renown."

So is fear the new message of the Huckabee campaign?

"I'd be afraid of him, and I hope the rest of the world would be to," Huckabee said.

Huckabee said he plans to spend more time in Iowa cultivating Republicans and recently moved more staff into the state as well as his daughter, Sarah. "We know we've got to make this a real key place to us," Huckabee said. "I'm confident that by the caucus night we will be in good shape and have a great night here."

Looking forward to it.....especially the rings he'll run on foreign policy issues.


Huckabee calls for border crackdown in response to Bhutto's assassination

"We ought to have an immediate, very clear monitoring of our borders and particularly to make sure if there's any unusal activity of Pakistanis coming into the country.

Huckabee Clueless After Bhutto’s Death, Says Pakistan Has ‘Eastern Borders’ With Afghanistan.

Note to Huckabee: Pakistan shares its “eastern border” with India, not Afghanistan."

This is what you man had to say and you like him and this is mild compared to some of his other brilliant statements. LOL

Huckabee urged the bloggers to "clog" up the wireless system in Des Moines so that reporters couldn't file any more "bad" stories about him.


Will the Ghost of the Dog Huckabee's Son Tortured Come Back to Bite Him in the Ass?
Howie Klein Down With Tyranny!
Yesterday in Des Moines, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee hosted an event thanking "roughly 700 bloggers who, he said, were responsible for keeping his campaign alive."

Calling them his "secret weapon," Huckabee urged the bloggers to "clog" up the wireless system in Des Moines so that reporters couldn't file any more "bad" stories about him. He added that by blocking the free press from doing their jobs, bloggers were "doing the Lord's work":


Mr. Huckabee had a rough time yesterday at the hands of the media when he announced he was canceling a negative ad against Mitt Romney and then showed the ad to the assembled reporters, who burst out laughing. Today, he turned the tables. He noted that the mainstream media might be "filing a bad story" right now, and if the bloggers were relying on the same wireless system at the hotel, they might be "clogging up the lines" and preventing them from filing.


If that's the case, "thank you," he said. "You're doing the Lord's work."

Huckabee has repeatedly made baseless claims that his conservative causes are sanctioned by God. At a Republican Governors Association Dinner speech in 2004, Huckabee had a mock three-minute telephone conversation with God. During that time, Huckabee said that "we kind of think you'd hang in there with us, Lord, we really do."

In 1997, Huckabee claimed that Jesus would have agreed with him on supporting the death penalty. In 1998, Huckabee spoke at the National Pastors' Conference and said he entered politics to "take this nation back for Christ."

Huckabee also promised the bloggers yesterday that he would host a similar get-together if he makes it to the White House. "You gotta dance with the one that brought you," he said.
