Ron Paul.<\/p>\n<p>Norris was influential in garnering support for Huckabee at the outset of his White House bid.  The Los Angeles Times reported that Norris was \u201ca factor in Huckabee\u2019s popularity surge\u201d and said in 2007, \u201cA month ago, few even knew that Huckabee was a former governor of Arkansas, let alone a Republican candidate for president. Then karate-movie tough guy Norris \u2026 announced he was in Huckabee\u2019s camp\u2026 Suddenly, Huckabee became the presidential example of tough-guy cool.\u201d However, it is unclear how much his support will help the divisive Paul\u2019s campaign this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The same Chuck Norris <a href=\"http:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/chucknorris\/2007\/12\/03\/my_choice_for_president\">who said this when he endorsed Huckabee<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Though Giuliani might be savvy enough to lead people, Fred Thompson wise enough to wade through the tides of politics, McCain tough enough to fight terrorism and Romney business-minded enough to grow our economy, I believe the only one who has all the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, Paul has none of those characteristics. So, risking an ass-kicking from Chuck Norris, i call bullshit on the story. And if it is true, Chuck Norris is a dumbass.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to ROS for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The only ones reporting this are the Paulians themselves and someone at David Frum&#8217;s forum, so &hellip; <a title=\"Chuck Norris a Paulian?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=25781\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Chuck Norris a Paulian?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-ron-paul"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25781\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
