'judas kiss' will cost pm

IF there is actually such a thing as the "Christian vote", on Monday night Kevin Rudd lost it.

For many, the Prime Minister's spirited defence of same-sex marriage on ABC1's Q&A program was a watershed moment.

Kerryn Phelps hailed it as a "historical moment in Australian politics" and penned a 475-word article of thanks to Rudd.

For Phelps and so many other LGBTIQ (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/intersexed/questioning) voters, this was the "sweetest victory of all".

Yet for so many Christian voters, this was the moment that the sheep's clothing came off the wolf's back.
