Conservatives Jump Ship: Christopher Buckley
October 14, 2008
by David Safier Christopher Buckley. Son of famed conservative William F. Buckley. Novelist like his father. Conservative like his father. Writes Wrote on the back page of the very conservative National Review his father founded. Supports Barack Obama. Let me repeat. Supports Barack Obama I have known John McCain personally since 1982.

Pima County Chamber of Commerce Hearts Cheryl Cage
October 13, 2008
by David Safier The Northern Pima County Chamber of Commerce doesn’t make a regular practice of endorsing Democrats.

Conservatives Jump Ship: Kathleen Parker
October 11, 2008
by David Safier A funny thing has happened in the post-Palin era. A number of conservative pundits are jumping ship.

Saying BOO! to a Conservative
October 10, 2008
by David Safier Ever wonder why fear is such a great motivator for conservatives and why they run to Daddy candidates who make them feel safe? This study may provide a clue. Conservatives tend to have a more highly developed startle reflex than others. To measure that sensitivity, researchers conducted two tests. In one, they
