“Yet another example of why many (not all) evangelicals are not conservative. Throw government money/power toward their causes, make repeated religious references, and they’re totally content if everyone else gets the shaft on taxes, national security etc. The money-changers in the temple have nothing over Huckabee. Den of thieves redux.”
You’re misrepresenting both Governor Huckabee and his evangelical supporters. Most of us are strong conservatives:

I think I share those same thoughts as you. And I will give you a hint. They are not nice.
The postal worker on Cheers?
Some people are the most sickening examples of cowards.
Don't know, but they said he was a heavy weight, must be as big as hucks dog killing son.
Maybe Fred isn't quite "focused on the family" enough. Dating Margaret Carlson, yeah, that Margaret Carlson. "True" conservative, right! Only took him six years to decide to marry his current wife. That's decisive decision making.
In 1973, Thompson was appointed minority counsel for the Senate Watergate Committee, a special committee convened by the U.S. Senate to investigate the Watergate scandal. Thompson is sometimes credited for supplying Republican Senator Howard Baker's famous question, "What did the President know, and when did he know it?" This question is said to have helped frame the hearings in a way that eventually led to the downfall of President Richard Nixon. The Senator, who had brought Thompson in as his chief counsel, remarked "I had high regard for him as a lawyer and as a friend."
Helped bring down President Nixon. What a great conservative Republican! Howard Baker, the biggest UN globalist on the planet, one of his closest associates. Fred Mr. Conservative, sure thing FR. He is your man, just like Arnold.
Like some of the “all or nothing” crown here, some folks operate the same way when it comes to religion/one issue and fail to take the long view.
“Who is John Stemberger?”
Click on the link in post #2 (or here):

“Stemberger is the founder of the Institute for Conservative Studies at Florida State University and has been one of the leading pro-life, pro-family advocates in Florida over the past 25 years. He was a lobbyist for Florida Right to Life and served as the Political Director for the Republican Party of Florida during the final campaign of former President George H.W. Bush...
“Stemberger is a member of the Council for National Policy, the Arlington Group in Washington, D.C., and serves as the state chairman of Florida Marriage.org, the official sponsoring committee for the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment.”
Huckabee has driven truck between social conservatives and fiscal conservatives. It was Reagan's genius to stitch these groups together under the "big tent." It held together for a long time but the socialist preacher from Arkansas has done his best to destroy it.
Ok, so he's a fat ambulance chaser. So What?
You'd think by chasing ambulances all day, he'd trim down a bit.
Intimidation from the higher-ups, perhaps??
I'm sure that he'll get along just fine with the new Log Cabin Republican staffer that Huck just added to his campaign. :=)
One common thread with the “Conservative” Republicans who are supporting Huckabee (such as Dick Morris), is the perceived belief that Illegal Immigration really isn’t a major problem.
Suspect that Stemberger has a similar view.
I did. Fred was the first campaign I ever donated money to. But, after seeing him need to actually ask for his own applause at one of his first "rallies" and hoping upon hope - week after week - that he would liven up, I realized that he could not win in the general election. I then decided to go for Mike Huckabee because of those who can actually win in the general election (McKennedy, Abortiani, and Huck), Huck is the most conservative.
Some local muckraker down in Florida, it sounds like.
According to a poll released Monday by Quinnipiac University, Thompson trails behind McCain, Giuliani, Huckabee and Romney who have a statistical four-way tie. While the leaders carried between 22 percent to 19 percent of the likely Republican vote, the former Tennessee senator is garnering only 7 percent of the likely vote.
Stemberger, who also got a bit of bad news from the Division of Elections today on his attempt to ban gay marriage, said in a statement that Huckabee "is without question the best candidate to breathe new life and fresh hope into a nation and its people.''
