So, about the upcoming NeoCon leadership conference....
Looks like it's going to be Mayhem in Montreal--a nice no-holds-barred slugfest between Harper's primitives and the few surviving red Tories (or whatever the poor sods are these days).

Big ideological bloodbath? Stupidity run rampant? Major and serious implosion? Ah, one can only hope...

1. Already Started As Small Tent
Conservatives snub Orchard

David Orchard ran for leader twice, but now he can't even get into the party convention.

"This is a party that is asking all Canadians to support them as an alternative to the Liberals," Mr. Orchard said in an interview Wednesday. "If they are slamming the door on the progressive side of the party, I don't know how that can translate into an election victory - ever."

Mr. Keddy said the decision is especially silly, given that Mr. Orchard was registered as an observer.

"If that's the case, that's just stupid," he said. "If someone registers as an observer, then they have the right to observe. Good God Almighty, the Liberals will register as observers. So, that's pretty petty politics. I'm not in any way, shape or form in agreement with Orchard's message, but I think there's going to be a pretty wide range of views on varying issues. He would quite simply be just one more."

Looks like they are really afraid of anyone with ideas or will speak their minds.

2. Small correction...
It's the party policy convention, not a leadership conference. They were already dumb enough to elect Harper--now it's just a matter of compounding the mistake.

3. Never Noticed The Headline
But I don't know if one can call them neocons. Think that they fit in with the Bolton type. Although the net result is the same.
