As I stated before, Churchill had some pretty aweful ideas when it came to grand strategy

Yes, Churchill was famous for having lots and lots of ideas on how to win the war, the military and war cabinet had great difficulty getting some of the craziest ideas stopped and on many occasions were unable to stop his military "genius" coming to fruition.

Site is also rather wrong about Churchill, if he was so bad, why was he elected again in the 50's?

Thats easy, the government had made a huge raft of promises. When it got to power it found the coffers empty and the line of credit withdrawn.
That problem affected their vote.
Though as I am sure you understand given your knowledge of politics over in Britain Bubblehead, Churchill won his victory by getting less votes than the sitting government.
Which isn't bad going, three times he stood for election to the job of prime minister, and the only time he won an election for that job he did so by getting less votes that the government he stood against.
