People can call voters who go for the Liberals all the names they want to, but until the Conservatives moderate their social policy, they're never going to get into power. The majority of Canadians are a centrist group. They'll drift a little to the left and drift a little to the right, but they won't go all the way over to either side. It's the same reason why the NDP will never get into power.
Right now the conservatives are far too right wing on their social views. They have a good platform when it comes to economics, military and the enviroment, but that all gets drown out when they try and dictate their view of morality. Moderate their social policy and get a leader who isn't beholden to the evangelical movement and they could get into power easily.
