From Eric Dondero:

Also-ran 2008 GOP Presidential primary candidate and staunch religious right conservative Sam Brownback is showing a bit of a libertarian streak. He is proposing a unique new office for Kansas government. The frontrunner in the Governor's race says why not an "office of Repealer." The goal is to repeal long out-dated laws still on the books.

From the NY Times, June 12:

“People just love this idea,” Mr. Brownback said here the other day, smiling broadly. “They feel like they’re getting their brains regulated out of them.”

Case in point, in Mr. Brownback’s telling: the rejoicing of residents in Saline County, Kan., when a strict fireworks ban was lifted there. Mr. Brownback recalled the mood: “It was kind of like, ‘I got a little piece of liberty back!’ ”
