Lucas Roebuck attempts a refutation of John Fund's column. Ron Paul supporters won't buy his contention that "even hard core fiscal conservatives" back tax hikes for roads. Roebuck's defense of the Huckabee fiscal record might be more persuasive overall if it weren't for the fact that the philosophy of government Huck has articulated is more expansive than, say, Ronald Reagan's. Fiscal conservatives don't seem ready for Compassionate Conservatism 2.0.
