By the same token you might like to do some research as to why Mr Howard won 4 elections. Did the voters get it wrong 4 times and right once? Bruce Haigh is far from being a balanced source. You also seem to be defeating your own arguement as Mr Howard's personal philosophy certainly influenced his public policy. Interesting enough Ms Gillard is pretending to adopt much of Mr Howard's policies.

We can learn a great deal from the Americans here. They are after
all the most religious of Western countries, where politicians
at least have to pretend to be religious, to meet voters expectations.

Bill Clinton was a great president, who left the country with a
healthy economy and a budget surplus. All that the religious could
focus on, was Monika!

So with the help of the religious right (aka people like runner)
George Bush became president, not once, but twice.

The result is there for all to see. As far as we know, George
resisted temptation and was most likely faithfull to Laura.

But he also nearly sent the country bankrupt and straight into
the worst financial crisis in generations. Empty coffers,
record unemployment, a total disaster. It has been left to
poor Obama to try and clean up the mess.

From all this we can learn a great deal. Clinton would have been
an even better president, if so much of his time had not been wasted
on the Monika nonsense, for the republicans could think of little
else.

Given the disaster that was the Bush regime and the price which
the whole world has paid, clearly personal sexual habits have
absolutaly nothing to do with ability to govern

Dear Yabby,

There is more than one lesson to be learned from the United States. Grover Cleveland ran for president against James G. Blaine, a self-righteous man who was proud of his moral standing. Blaine accused Cleveland of fathering a child out of wedlock and being unfit for public life.

Cleveland pointed out that he made no secret of it and had provided for the child. He said he was quite fit for public life and that Blaine was obviously better fitted for private life. He appealed to the voters to keep Blaine in private life for which he was well suited and elect himself to be president. He won the election.

Given the disaster that was the Bush regime and the price which
the whole world has paid, clearly personal sexual habits have
absolutaly nothing to do with ability to govern

Ditto Yabby and I agree with the fact that the U.S. would have prospered greatly with Bill Clinton. The few stupid moments spent with the young girl in addition to the technology and publicity were his undoing. At Bill's age he should have been wiser thinking of his family [under the radar], his career and the country. Had Bill been younger ie 25-30years [not aware of the consequences and learning]; I would have made allowances. Damn shame.

Lol, Runner.
Who cares what Julia Gillard does in her own time in private?

Besides, wasn't your god an adulterer for getting a virgin pregnant?

Low blow, Celivia, and actually quite offensive.

Assuming that your argument is genuine, and not just an attempt to get runner worked up, then by inference you believe all IVF doctors are adulterers as well. They get women (other than their wives) pregnant for a living, don't they?
