2Timothy 3:1-5 ---- why no one should vote for W

From linked article Why W is not a Christian.

After discussing all the reasons the Bible tells us not to vote for W, the author quotes 2Tim 3:1-5 as summary.

2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying
the power thereof: from such turn away.

Somehow that doesn't seem to go with the rest of the list. Maybe Bush wears Depends and isn't telling us. :)

6. Yes, the meanings of words change over the centuries

Pop quiz: the KJV version also talks about "husbandmen". Any idea what that is?

8. Just FYI...

He's discussing, all men, end of times and concludes that Christians will suffer persecution, and the only way to salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ..

I dont this is the correct place to be posting scriptures out of context and then hoping to stretch it so that it applies.. because if it actually did apply.. and was actually true.. and if you read the entire passage... we're screwed :)..

Besides .. I dont even think this is the best place to discuss religion at all.. I would like to see a separate board..
