re: john howard has it right
JH is one rare creature - because he is about to retire he is the only pollie who can make decisions because they are in the best long term interests of the country.
The other pollies are too worried about whether the "lezos who want access to invitro-fertilization" or the "poofs who want to join the boy scouts" or the "single mothers who want to stay at home and make a career out of watching tv on your hard earned dollars at the expense of your own children."
Imagine that a pollie who doesn't have to devote every minute of every day pandering to the most obscene mutants that man's interference with the laws of nature can produce.
