*cries*

Only if he's actually elected :D

Is it supposed to make no sense and be stupid, or what? I don't know why I ask seeing as it has Chuck Norris in it, and he is both monumentally stupid and senseless...

A little part of me died inside. :(

Don't know enough about Mike Huckabee to say a whole lot but that was sorta funny and lame at the same time. Seriously Mike get some acting skills. :rolleyes:

You just described Chuck Norris jokes, which happens to be exactly what this is. Totally worthless.

It's official, Mike Huckabee is my first "Under no circumstances" candidate.

If you can't see the humor in that I am not sure what to tell you.

I have hereby lost all respect for Chuck Norris. He is no longer powerful enough to kick my ass.

Sometimes something happens that makes someone question whether he or she is human because of the stupid fucking things that humans do. That was one of them.

This redeems him a little bit (although I was never a huge Chuck Norris fan): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIgey9NLdhk

The guy has no chance of winning even with attempts at humor such as this ad was. I personally laughed at it but it won't make me vote for the guy.

Norris has always been a big supporter of the Reps. It’s no secret.

As to the ad in question, it was almost as embarrassing as Gordon Brown claiming he wakes up every day to the Arctic Monkeys.

Politicians and pop culture just don’t mix.

Why? What are you afraid of? Afraid America may secure it's borders? :eek: I like the add but then I'm a Chuck Norris fan and I am Celtlund. :p

Quite the opposite.

I now have respect -1 for him.

That was a horrible ad.

P.S. What's wrong with the Second Amendment? What's wrong with the "Fair Tax" and elimination of the IRS?

Politicians and pop culture just don’t mix.

If I recall correctly, Arnold Swarzchenegger actually avoided doing just that.

Is that correct?

P.S. What's wrong with the Second Amendment?

It's silly to have it as part of your constitution, if you never exert the right.

What's wrong with the "Fair Tax" and elimination of the IRS?

The fair tax is wrong because it assumes that rich people are going to hit hardest by it.

However, it's quite the opposite.

A few things that the fair tax will probably result in are:
Fewer imports, so less real wealth.
Fewer exports, depending on how the fair tax is carried out.
Fewer people taking holidays in the US - one of the reasons people go to New York right now is because it's cheaper to go there for a weekend, buy a lot of expensive stuff and then go home again. That will not be the case with the fair tax.
Poor people affording less. Seeing as how sales taxes in the US are added on to the listed price, I can't see the listed prices getting any lower or higher. However, people will still have to pay more. Poor people won't benefit from a reduction of income tax. Rich people will essentially pay the same or less tax, where poor people will end up footing a bill they cannot afford.

Can you imagine the results of all your products and services costing 25% more?

Oh yeah, and, speaking from personal experience, it will result in a massive black market.

If you think the video is bad, read the comments...

If you think the video is bad, read the comments...

"I told my sister today that Mike is the only candidate who really gives me hope for my family's future... I told my husband after watching his Glenn Beck interview that I wanted to hug him. I believe that he is a GIFT."

What an empty life this person must lead.

If I recall correctly, Arnold Swarzchenegger actually avoided doing just that.
Ok, then:

Politicians and pop culture don’t mix, unless you’re in California, or that state which has the ex-wrestler as governor, or you remember Ronald Reagan’s films, or some other eventuality that I haven’t accounted for in my generalising. :p

That said, I doubt Ahhnallld’s knowledge of current pop culture is very large.

Obey Chuck Norris Obey, Obey.

P.S. What's wrong with the Second Amendment? What's wrong with the "Fair Tax" and elimination of the IRS?

What exactly would eliminating the IRS accomplish, other than putting a lot of people out of work?

It would have to be replaced by some other method. Jobs would be lost but most likely gained into a new tax collecting entity.

Why doe it seem like an SNL sketch to me...

LMFAO! How awesome is that?!

LMFAO! How awesome is that?!

Awesomely lame.

Awesomely lame.

good one.; :p

Going by the use of tense in your post, I'm going to assume you think Arnold is an ex-wrestler. You're wrong.

He's a fat robot guy. Kinda like Fender from Futurama...but worse. Way worse.

If you can't see the humor in that I am not sure what to tell you.
Remember who you're dealing with... I'm sure most of them wouldn't think something was funny unless it was a cartoon they read in Punch or the New Yorker.

The issue is not that they aren't funny, they were the first few times I came across Chuck Norris jokes. It's once I'd heard it twenty or thirty times I started to shrug. After 100 or so I was bored, and after 980,000 of 'em I want to puke.

So we would abolish the IRS to replace them with? what the IRS2? The problem is not the IRS, The IRS did not create the tax laws, they simply enforce them to the best of their abilities

I am one of the few people who still actually find Chuck Norris jokes funny. Not in the commercial though. Mike Gravel FTW!

IRS 2: The Auditing

LOL

I don't understand. Why the objection to Mike Huckabee?

You just described Chuck Norris jokes, which happens to be exactly what this is. Totally worthless.

It's official, Mike Huckabee is my first "Under no circumstances" candidate.

Like I said above, why?

If you can't see the humor in that I am not sure what to tell you.

No, I don't see the humor in it, and I followed the link and watched the commercial. Please explain it to me...

WITHOUT thinking less of me for not seeing the alleged "humor" in the commercial.

I have hereby lost all respect for Chuck Norris. He is no longer powerful enough to kick my ass.

Why? What did Chuck Norris do that offended you? (YES, I WATCHED THE COMMERCIAL.)
Quite the opposite.

I now have respect -1 for him.

That was a horrible ad.

What was so bad about it? Is it because he endorsed a candidate who wants to keep the 2nd Amendment intact? :rolleyes:

Or is it because he acknowledges that the IRS has entirely too much power, and wants to do something about it and stop the IRS' oppression of taxpayers?

P.S. What's wrong with the Second Amendment? What's wrong with the "Fair Tax" and elimination of the IRS?

That's what I'm trying to find out from them. It sounds to me like they are in love with higher taxes and want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment so we will be unable to defend ourselves from, or revolt against, an oppressive, power-hungry government.

If you can't see the humor in that I am not sure what to tell you.

I could see that it was trying to be funny, but they both came across as complete wankers & the add was just totally pathetic.

The commercial in and of itself, specifically having the candidate tell repeated Chuck Norris jokes.

He supported a republican, 'nuff said from my part.

Yes, considering what they provide me, I do like higher taxes.

and want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment so we will be unable to defend ourselves from, or revolt against, an oppressive, power-hungry government.

To which I ask: What is the point of the Amendment if you never use it?

Oh, come on; compared to the shit from other candidates, finally an ad which doesn't make my eye's bleed.

What the hell is it with US politician ads of 'mom, apple pie' and fucking fields of wheat in the breeze?

1950's called, and they want their sentimentality back.

A presidential candidate resorting to old Chuck Norris jokes? I did not see that coming.

Are we gonna get RickRoll'd by Ron Paul next?
