Homeless Cons try social networking

If you don’t think the current Conservative Government is conservative enough, you’re supposedly a voter without a political home.
This is getting circular, we used to call your political home the The Reform Party.

Weep no more, social networking will save the day.
Blogging Tories aren’t going to feel a drain.
HomelessCons is a social networking site for single issue social conservatives, disenfranchised dual issue social conservatives, and disgruntled fiscal conservatives in Canada, Britain and the US.
HomelessCons is about re-branding.
HomelessCons is run by Brigitte Pellerin and husband John Robson.

And the usual Canadian crowd is signing up, trashing Stephen Harper and David Frum while praising the Manning Centre, um, the usual you can read elsewhere.
CFRB gave the site some attention today.
Two members who jumped out were Focus on the Family employee Andrea Morzek and former National Citizen Coalition employee Gary Nicholls whose book: Loyal to the Core is being carried by Freedom Press, a niche marketing publishing house run by Tristan Emmanuel, formerly a columnist with World Net Daily, and formerly of Equipping Christians for the Public Square.
Nicholls has been plugging the new site at The Western Standard blog.
As a complete aside Canadian Christianity which pretty much gives all it’s subject matter puff pieces, wasn’t glorious in it’s praise about Nichol’s book. For Canadian Christianity this is as close to a critique as it gets.

This appears to be more of a grass-roots networking site as opposed to the short lived Culture 11 site in the US which tried to operate as a monetized gathering place and went under quickly.

One of the discussions on the networking site is How Have the Republicans/Tories betrayed you?
I think this site includes Canadians who start with ‘let me count the ways.’
