Dear Lord don't make me puke.
If Abbott was a true Christian he would be handing the election decision over to God - not demanding through his fake prayers that he be the next leader of this country. What an arrogant creep - so arrogant that he's already planning his victory speech. Who does he think he's kidding?
This is another sign of what it will be like under an Abbott led government. A religious zealot who will slash, burn and exploit this country's workers. He'd fit right in with the Republicans.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says he prays every day for an election victory.
‘‘In 116 days it will change. 116 days, that’s all we’ve got left. I know you’re impatient, I’m certainly impatient, and frankly we should be impatient to build the better Australia we can be.
‘‘I thank God every day for the privilege of leading this great party and I pray to God every day that my colleagues and I can give this great country the better government that it deserves,’’ he said.
Mr Abbott earlier admitted he has thought about the victory speech he'd give if he wins the September election.
In a radio interview on the Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday morning, Mr Abbott was asked "have you thought about your victory speech if you were to win?"
"The truth is yes," Mr Abbott replied.

Give it a break....
many Christians pray
Muslims pray 5 times a day.
Abbott apparently gives thanks in his prayers for his good luck and for his leading what he considers a great political party.
that is what he actually does, not what you or the article claimed.
Don't believe me?
Read the article.
‘‘I thank God every day for the privilege of leading this great party and I pray to God every day that my colleagues and I can give this great country the better government that it deserves,’’ he said.
I'd be praying for that too.

Yeah, it is a bit sickmaking. Also a reminder that in many ways Abbott will be ruled from home—womens’ bodies will be less and less under their own control. Just look at the US where religious nutters like Abbott are dime a dozen.
Abortion will be first to go, IVF next, mothers allowed to demand to see their teenage childrens’ medical records from their GP, general increase in cost of the Pill, etc.
Abbott’s ridiculous PPL is really a way to keep women at home—all these tiresome ’50s attitudes and restrictions will be dragged back. Just look at what the clown did as Health Minister with RU486!
But praying to be PM, which is what he would be praying for is sickmaking. The guff about better govt is just guff—the Libs are not prepared for govt at all!

My point exactly. It is sheer arrogance for Abbott to claim that he can give this country the better government it deserves, particularly as he was main agitator in denigrating the government over such a long period of time.
What makes him so confident that he is more deserving than anyone else? He has proved nothing and promised only the very worst for this country by indicating he will split it back into the haves and have nots as per his mentor's ideology.

Abbott is a religious nutter. First on his agenda will be a revamped Workchoices. Employers are already biting on the bit to remove penalty rates, but the pea brains who will vote for him aren't interested in his policies. We know that he is against the drug RU486 and even though it's now approved - it won't see the light of day. We'll see a return of the Catholic abortion counselling services and also more involvement from the Catholic Church in government affairs.
We mustn't forget that he will legislate the parental paid leave where some babies will have a higher value placed on them than others. Everything about Abbott is revolting and offensive. Even his thoughts on considering privatising the ABC and SBS are shockingly arrogant.

No, I don’t think Abbott actually likes WorkChoices. He is not a Lib but a DLPer. That doesn’t mean I don’t think the Libs won’t introduce it, if possible, because Abbott is a weakling who can’t stand a bit of pressure, unlike JGPM, and many of the fossils on his front bench will insist on WC.
Re the Greens, if their support really tanks then I think they will do as in the WA election where they preferenced their fellow conservative party, the Libs.

Well that's just sheer idiocy on your behalf mantra.
Much like the sheer idiocy of the topic title and the crap you wrote and that appeared in the article...
only to be contradicted by the facts.
Nothing in what he says amounts to arrogance and over-confidence in fact it is quite the opposite.

Reverse everything you've just posted and you would describe yourself accurately. You've always hated Labor and the Greens and you've always spewed forth propaganda about those parties. Your hate reflects itself in your denigration of those who oppose your views and the members of the said political parties.
The TRUTH has always been your misguided and skewed opinion only. The same can be said for your FACTS and just because you say it's so - doesn't mean it is.
