”Few people are more loathing of Tony Abbott than my amicable husband Max. ”
A letter to Max.
What a way for your wife to introduce her attack on Tony Abbott. The word ‘loathing’ and ‘amicable’ in the same sentence...if that doesn’t set up a bias from the outset then I am a monkey’s uncle.
It’s an even bet your ‘amicable’ self has never even met Tony Abbott and your ‘loathing’ is probably little more than an ideological difference. A little shallow don't you think or perhaps merely a tautological error on your wife’s behalf?
I too am becoming heartily; “...sick of the white-anting, the relentless negativity.” Mr Amiable, but not of the alleged attack on this worthless government which deserves no less (especially from the Opposition!), but rather of the ideologically blinkered attack on Tony Abbott by media harridans such as your wife and, by inference; rather callow and allegedly amiable hypocrites such as yourself.
Your ‘loathing’ is directed at a man who has proven intellectual ability (a Rhodes scholar), and a successful family who love him, who is reputed to be honest, kind and generous, who is physically adept through hard work and discipline, and who is not rich but struggles like most of us with school fees and a mortgage (unlike Rudd or Turnball). Yet you believe it acceptable to embrace the unrelenting vitriol as expressed by the unfortunately subjective main-stream-media, oh please forgive me, your wife is one of the comrades...might that be another clue to your ‘loathing?”
Speaking about your wife, note well the language she uses to push her agenda: ‘Mr Abbott's band of merciless men’, ‘...score political points at any cost’, Captain Abbott push full throttle into reverse’, Tony Abbott’s ‘bellowing his way to power’, and these just a few paragraphs into the diatribe.
She then goes on to make the point that Newspoll expressed voter dissatisfaction with both leaders. I can fully understand why Gillard is down, but am constantly amazed that Tony Abbott has anyone on his side given the extreme bias against him. When last did you read something positive about Abbott or do you actually believe he is the Devil incarnate? It makes a mockery of those who question Abbott's constant 'negativity' doesn’t it. In short the correct word is HYPOCRISY.
Allow me two minor questions regarding both of your political positions:
To the charge of Abbott pushing the many and abysmal decisions taken by this most incompetent of Governments into reverse...would you prefer it that he should maintain the disastrous course Gillard has forced us (dishonestly by the way) onto?
And secondly; do you believe that bankrupting the country to serve the prejudices of a ‘Watermelon’ minority is in the country’s best interest?
The article gives me reason to believe that both of you do, which makes your agendas far, far more; “weird and worrying”, than Tony Abbott’s could ever be.
Mr ‘Amiable’, you say that we should 'give him what he wants' in order to stop the ‘white-anting’. The inference that Abbott desires power more than anything else is rich in irony considering the moral vacuity at the heart of the current Labor government who are blatantly breaking all moral boundaries to remain in power. Again HYPOCRISY springs to mind...or perhaps the blinkered mind is just unable to comprehend these connections?
Needless to say that when the electorate, whom I have no doubt you and your kind think stupid and ill-informed; give power to Abbott in the near future, I look forward (occasionally) with amusement, to the bile and impotent rage that splatters these columns in the future.
