Chuck Norris for President...of Texas (?)!

[CougarKing]

Actor Chuck Norris told WorldNetDaily that he would be interested in being President of Texas should the state secede from the union:

“I may run for president of Texas,” Norris wrote Monday in a column posted at WorldNetDaily. “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”

The actor claimed “thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation” and said that if states decide to secede from the union, that Texas would lead the way.

“Anyone who has been around Texas for any length of time knows exactly what we'd do if the going got rough in America,” Norris wrote. “Let there be no doubt about that.”

Sounds like Chuck is aching to wear Gitmo Orange in the near future. :

What would be really awesome would be if California were also to secede, and eventually enter into some kind of conflict (over what does not matter). Can you imagine Schwarzie against Norris? The ultimate one-on-one challenge.

Ridiculous...

Why? He's not saying anything treasonous. States have the 'Right to Secede' under the constitution. And, right now, there's approx 11-13 of them that have that very bill, or permutations thereof, pending in the state legislature.

Just what Texas needs: more creationist nuts in office.

I'm going to have to put my money on Norris.  Although Scwarzenegger was a Strongman champ, Norris pushes DOWN the earth when he does pushups, and can scare the crap out of nearly anyone.  This is, ofc, assuming Arnold does NOT become Terminator, the Turbo Man action figure (as seen in Jingle All The Way) or Mr.Freeze.  Hardly fair, but a landslide victory...

Until ex-Minnesota Gov. and possible 2012 presidential candidate Jesse "The Body" Ventura pins either or both of them to the mat and saves the union.

When I posted in Borden, my brother in law, who was living with us at the time and going to school in Barrie, was working part time for a woman from Texas who ran some kind of Auto buy and sell operation that ran cars across Ontario and I think down in the US.  I, on occasion, would drive a car from point A to point b for a few extra bucks.  Anyhow, before she started doing this kind of thing up here in Canada, she said she worked for the governor of Texas.  She told me a story about how one night, there was so much work that had to be done by the governor that day , that they stopped the clock in the governer's office, so that he could sign off all the paperwork that had to be signed that day.  There were a lot of papers signed off at 11:55 PM that night, even though the actuall time was early the next morning.  As a joke, the staff had drawn up the paperwork to Cede from the Union, and threw it into the paperwork that the goveror had to sign.  He signed it and didn't realize it.  The staff had their laugh, and the document was promptly destroyed.

That guy was a US Navy SEAL, I think he'd ruin Arnold, but Norris can still push down the Earth, so...

Chuck'll be pushing down earth allright after Jesse does this to him:

OK, perhaps being built that way helps him against Norris. 

Now.  Since he was a US Navy Seal he was cold and miserable several times in his life, so Mr.Freeze has nothing against him except some hilarious puns.  With lines like "We must break the Ice" or "Chill out!" spoken in a heavy Austrian accent, may be able to make Ventura die of laughter, but it's doubtful.

Turbo Man can fly and use laser beams, but Ventura's training on Cam & Concealment both on land and underwater, as well as using firearms, will probably make him very difficult to defeat. 

Now against the Terminator though.  Perhaps with access to big enough explosive charges, and exploiting his Underwater Demolition training, Ventura can defeat the Terminator.  Otherwise, forget it. 

Now deathmatches aside, there's another question.  Who can gross more at a box office nowadays?  I think despite Arnold's many entertaining films, Norris may be better poised for a box office comeback should he not become Governor of Texas.
