A long time political observer recalls how the armies of the Moonbat King helped finish off a once proud Progressive Conservative party …
Don’t know if you ever heard just what a grasp he had on the PCs in his heyday — literally controlled the SK federal organization and, at a riding level, nearly every prov riding + a number in BC.
The Liberals here, even when in gov’t in Ottawa, are notoriously poorly organized, except for Ralph. It is not uncommon for S’toon Liberals to have only the executive members of a riding association and few, if any, other card carrying members. Even in the most hopeful of times for Liberals they don’t get many people out at an organizational level. The only exception in recent years was Patrick Wolfe vs. Jamie Miley in the S’toon Humboldt nomination and, even at that, I don’t know if they had 600 people at their nominating meeting.
The SK Liberals are ripe for the picking by Orchard, who I’m told can mobilize approx 20,000 Canadians at any given time.
Speculation swirls that Dion will bestow a riding nomination on Orchard for the next federal election. Let’s hope so.

The Moonbat King link has been broken. It looks like it was done on purpose and has an added redirection link that goes back to your site. Me thinks the King does not like the light of day 🙂
Orchard will be very busy if he gets the nod from Dufus Dion to run somewhere, Over the Rainbow comes to mind, he’s already said he would like to help Green Momma in Central Nova. Wonder why????
Hope he gets to run and gets run right out of politics. At this point his reasons for running are probably not for the good of anyone but his own selfish vendetta against McKay.
The Liberals have Garth!, can they handle Orchard too?
LizJ:
Send in HER MAJESTY’S BIG BEAR CROWFOOT POUNDMAKER REGIMENT to cut down the ‘cherry trees’ in the ‘Orchard’!! 🙂
Big bonfire and pow wow to celebrate!
No, that was my pasting error. Should work now.
Will he have to campaign in a dress?
Gotta meet that lady candidate quota.
Never underestimate this guy and or his band of moonbats. They will get loads of press be on the CBC , Tor Star all the time. Anti American, Anti Israeli, pro Hizbollah he will fit right in with Denis Coderre as the poster boy for clean living and all things totally buggered. Maybe they can enlist the one and only Joe Clark into their brain trust one can see the Dion maelstrom developing already.
Orchard’s support of Dion is the kiss of death – all the more reason why he should be encouraged to continue doing so.
Speaking of treehuggers, perhaps the religion of choice for urban atheists is approaching it’s jump the shark moment.
One can only hope.
I should leave hyperlinking to smart people:

Having David Orchard as one of your supporters is like the kiss of death for Canadian politicians. His presence within the PCs discredited the party and pushed them (despite his anti-merger rabid campaigning) to merge with the Alliance.
Let`s hope the Liberals enjoy their liason with this leper of Canadian politics.
An anti-free-trade Conservative, as Mr. Orchard very prominently was, joining the federal Liberals. Oh, wonderful.
It’s not often that a political event comes along that would drive an knowledgeable scholar in, or student of, Canadian political history into wry amusement.
Suggested mock slogan for the liberals if this event comes to pass:
“The Old Charter…The Old Policy…The Old Party.”
If Photoshopping is in your list of skills, some other John A. Macdonald-era Conservative posters could be given a morphover, too.
Careful folks, David Orchard is Iberia’s hero. Watch it or he will change his name and insult you; then he will cry.
Does anyone think Dion will get his quota of 33% “woemens” to run for his Parti?
He may have to ask a few of the boys to go for the change or maybe dress in drag. Would the Orchard Boy go for either options?
I recall my revulsion at seeing Joe Clark embrace Orchard at the PCs’ Parliament Hill Christmas dinner in 1998, giving me pause to think,”It’s one thing to be mugged, it’s another to invite the perp over for dinner.”
On that basis, I’m sure the Moonbat and the Nutty Professor will get along famously.
And yet another ‘dandy’alliance forming …story at National Newswatch’Dion pledges to work with NL premier,who has history of fighting Ottawa’
The 2 met today in Nfld…Williams said Dion is a man he can trust.
What a loser love-in Dion is creating!
The virus seeks a host.
From G&M now..Williams Lauds Integrity of Dion..Dion says(from NNewswatch)..’the problem is not premier Williams..the problem is the PM..because he broke his words.The Libs promise everything to williams..and Williams stops short of endorsing Dion..”dion did not ask for that commitment from me AT THIS STAGE.
Williams will be in deep doodoo, as will the people of nfld if we get a huge majority, with no MPs from the rock. Where will his requests get, on the PMs list of prioities. Will all his people go home from AB, to collect EI. Shouldn’t he be worrying about all those ships caught in the “melting” ice, and homes falling into the ocean.
Now I wonder what the NL provincial Liberals will do. Wouldn’t be funny if the provincial Grits help the Tories?
Harper did not break his word, he’s explained it to Blow-Bag Williams, he won’t listen. Both he and Dion are made for each other. They can go to the highest Bluff and break wind, nobody’s listening and nobody cares.
All Danny wants is a fart catcher, and now he’s got one. No doubt the People of Newfie are pleased.
Appears Cherniak must be blocking comments.Has post up about Town Hall in TO ,held by McCallum..’the room was packed,and much of GTA caucus in attendance’..this was all about Income Trust.Hmm,maybe Jason doesn’t want anyone asking him,why,according to write-up I read only about 150 people in attendance.
He also has a school girl rant about no one seeing as relevant that Dion has 5000 friends on facebook.I guess now,he will have 5002,with Orchard,and Dannyboy
I would be curious to know how things are going for Dion inside his party. It may be that a lack of support within the party has forced to bolster his support in the public arena by aligning himself with people outside the party whom we know have some degree of loyal following — May, Orchard, Williams. The problem is, I think, that all of these people have very different agendas not (in general) aligned with mainstream Canadians, and that at some point Dion will realize that he has build himself a Frankenstein rather than a viable party.
Orchard better be careful what fruits he associates with in the Lib party or he might offend a muslim.
calling orchard, or for that matter joe who, or any other red tory conservative is like calling george bush a liberal…..I mean, really, good riddance to the whole lot of them….and his timing could not be any better, just like belomi, jumping to a sinking ship….I can just see it come election time…asking people on the doorstep if they could stomach the country being run by citoyen bombardion, with a cabinet comprised of orchard, turner, and the rest of the sordid librano crew…this is going to be fun
Moonbat,fruit cake,numbskull are all listed together under ORCHARD DAVID in the dictionary
Maybe Dion can get Sheryl Crow on his team..I see over at Hotair,she is recommending you ration toilet paper squares..one at a time kids!Comments are hilarious..posted also with links at DMB
as springsteen and jackson browne were experts on nuclear power in the 70’s(and look at the resultant air pollution from coal fired electrical plants – good job idiots), sheryl leftard is now an expert on the 3 R’s….she should stick to writing cheesy pop songs, and lining her bank account….leftard moron!
Sheryl Crow must have seen one of my favourite Seinfelds where Elaine asks a woman in the stall next to hers for toilet paper. The woman replies “I can’t spare a square, I haven’t a square to spare.” Sheryl’s newfound environmental conscience dovetails nicely with the ever-so-sincere enviro-whackery of DeYawn. Two loons of a feather stay together.
Screwy liberal celebrate EARTH DAY by holding concert and using all that electricity and squishing numerous bugs and keeping the birds awake SCREWBALL TREE HUGGER NIT WITS
cheryl crowe rationing toilet paper, why not go all the way muslim style and use your left hand . then you only need one square.
then the yarmouth NS garbage police wouldnt have much to find.
did you see the pictures of Yarmouth, looks like the whole city should have been in a blacked out garbage bag, what a dump.
So now we know why dion eats hotdogs with a knive and fork. Uses his hands for other things.
May and Dion inked deal…May admits:’the thing Greens care about more fundamentally than anything-perhaps for some Greens it matters more than climate-is that we FIX the voting system’
Power at any cost! And Dion stupid enough to fall into her trap.
