McCain responds to Norris

[kygirl]

John McCain had a ready response Monday for actor Chuck Norris, who said while campaigning for GOP rival Mike Huckabee that the Arizona senator is too old to handle the pressures of being president.

"I'm afraid that I may have to send my 95-year-old mother over to wash Chuck's mouth out with soap," McCain said after feigning anger.Norris made his remarks Sunday at his Navasota, Texas, ranch while hosting a fundraiser for Huckabee.

:laugh:Thought this was a good comeback by McCain.

Wow. According to the article, Chuck Norris is 67 years old! He sure doesn't look it.

The ageing process does not show on Chuck Norris. 67 is how old Chuck is, in dog years.

I said this once before about Chucks youthful look. It was something about having stock in "Just For men". Imagine with his hair its natural color and he ages a little.

Welp, Sorry Mr. McCain, but you and your 95 year old mother will both be receiving a swift roundhouse kick to the face now.

I put about as much stock in Norris' positions as I do in Alex Baldwin's. To think that anyone, and I mean anyone, would put more emphasis on Norris' endorsement than Kissinger's is really a pretty sad indictment on the American voter in my opinion.

Kissinger's endorsement doesn't mean much to me either. It is more fun to have Norris' as an endorsement.

 

To me, endorsements anymore is more about party allegiance than that they are an actual good candidate.

 

That said, someone goes across party lines to endorse someone and that intrigues me.

I say we put Chuck Norris and Oprah in a debate...

Your kidding me right about the bolded part? Like him or hate him, Kissinger knows a lot, make that a whole lot, about foreign affairs which given our current position in world affairs is kind of important right now (great understatement I know). As for Kissinger's party allegiance, Kissinger has rarely (this may be the first) made an endorsement in a Republican primary, and begrudingly did so this time because of the extreme importance that our next President be able to hit the ground running of foreign affairs matters. He's not the kind of person that has given his endorsement willy nilly in the past and the man does know what he's talking about. Norris' credentials for his endorsement (other than being "fun"): he's a decent actor (decent, but not really good, think Stallone).

Kissinger's endorsement is definitely a big negative in my opinion. He was instrumental negotiating the deal that resulted in the deaths of millions of people in SE Asia. Historians said that it took Nixon (presumably with Kissinger's help) to "open" China. It seems like the Chinese communists got the best of that deal.

 

The endorsement of a random man (or woman) on the street would carry more weight than Kissinger's endorsement. If a McCain presidency would mean more "peace with honor" deals, then count me in the "against" camp.

Personally, the biggest endorsement I saw was the Nature Boy's for Mike Huckabee.

 

I can see it now, Rick Flair lets out a big WWHHOOOOO after negotiating a deal with China and just when they are signing it and thinking they are getting a sweet deal, he thumbs them in the eye, does a double leg takedown and wraps them up in the Figure 4 till they agree to Fair Trade and a Human Rights agenda.:thumb::laugh:

Why? Although I don't know why I'm asking as I think I already have you figured out.

I am not sure what you are getting at by saying you have me figured out. "Opening" China has helped that country fund a massive upgrade of its military's offensive threat. IMO, China has become the biggest military threat to this country on the planet. I don't buy the argument that cheap consumer goods makes the risk acceptable. Any number of Asian country's could have stocked our stores with cheap products, including the world's largest democracy, India.

 

Had our media covered the bloody aftermath of the Vietnam War with half the enthusiasm that it reported the daily body counts, anti-war protests, and the Paris peace negotiations, Kissinger would be reviled by many more people in this country.

Maybe I'm having a stupid day, but what exactly are you referring to?
