That explains why some think that Romney is a conservative.
That also explains why anyone would consider Huckabee a conservative. Huckabee is a one issue candidate, abortion, everything else is far left. His fair tax scheme would be a train wreck for the economy, not to mention unenforceable. It would take twice as many IRS agenst to collect the sales tax. But Huckabee know that, and he knows that it would never pass. He is just playing the religious conservatives for fools, like Elmer Gantry.
