Posted at 2:58pm on Jan. 30, 2008 The end of Mitt Romney. Was it that "silly flip-flopping thing"?
By Mark Kilmer
In lamenting the political demise of her guy Mitt, NRO's Kathryn Jean Lopez suggests that the candidate's problem might have been that "silly flip-flopping thing," or that Romney might have taken "too long to rise above it." Oh, I don't know.
For a lot of people, that "silly flip-flopping thing" is the essence of Mitt Romney, what defines him; something which, being that integral to his being, cannot be risen above or escaped.

Posted at 2:55pm on Dec. 18, 2007 An almost ideal Fred Thompson campaign commercial
Kill. Protect. Punch.
By Mark Kilmer
Well, here's the Fred Thompson campaign commercial for which we've all been waiting. The music is pretty bad, otherwise it would be ideal. And there's still time for Fred to use this gem:

Posted at 10:05am on Dec. 11, 2007 Right Michigan Exclusive: An extended interview with Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07)

Cross-posted on Right Michigan at www.RightMichigan.com.
Late last week I had the opportunity to spend a pretty good chunk of time speaking with the Congressman from Michigan's 7th District, freshman Representative Tim Walberg. We spoke just after his return from an extended overseas trip and covered everything from international affairs to Nancy Pelosi to SCHIP, the tax hike efforts of Michigan Democrats and his upcoming reelection bid against challenger Mark Schauer (despite the minority leader's assurances only two years ago that if elected to the State Senate he'd serve his full term).

Posted at 2:15pm on Oct. 23, 2007 Ron Paul does not belong in the race for the GOP nomination
By Mark Kilmer
Ron Paul played a valuable role in Congress. I do think so. He was never effective at limiting government, but that's not the role I saw him fill; rather, he was a minor gadfly to the statists, keeping in the vocabulary of Congress the small-l libertarian notions of a government limited to specific functions, non-confiscatory taxation, etc.
When Ron Paul entered the Presidential fray this year, contrary to what some of my other, perhaps more discerning RedState colleagues thought, I thought it was a neat idea, something which could only help push the other candidates in the direction of at least promising to restore and protect our God-given liberties. As a pro-life libertarian, the concept of Ron Paul, though hardly Presidential, would be a welcome voice.
