shoop Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 "Orchard was a nutcase" says very clearly indeed that you are so drenched in your beliefs that you cannot see the disaster that it was to LOSE a Conservative party.With the demise of conservatism, this country lost any opportunity for a credible opposition to the Liberals for a long time to come. Orchard represented the conservative attempt to stop a dangerous radical populism from becoming a force in Canadian life. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Orchard was unrealistic. If the parties hadn't merged they BOTH would have starved to death financially. He was a one-issue guy. Switched from free trade, which was idealistic yet misguided to the saviour of the Progressive Conservative Party, which was unrealistic. Ayn Rand! Now there was a "nutcase."<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are we actually agreeing on something? Quote
