Abbott claims he almost resigned because the Medicare safety net was dropped. If wishes were fishes.
His comments show a real trend to think dichotomously – everything is either good or evil, and as long as it’s not evil, he’s okay. So, invading Iraq is still a good thing because it was done to achieve a good. The fact that it might not have been thought through properly and has been mishandled makes no difference. And he still thinks the polls are just wrong, and the government is in good shape. Best of luck, Tony.
Abbott’s philosophy reminds me of the book I just finished about George W. Bush’s good vs evil approach – I highly recommend checking it out.
