Poll question: The Seven Deadly Sins Of George W. Bush... Which Is Worst?
Which of the Seven Deadly Sins is our Great Leader most guilty of? All of them are subject to your own interpretation of what qualifies under what sin, so feel free to explain your reasoning (or explain what your second choice would be).

A brief description of each of the Seven Deadly Sins appears below:

  • Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. (Pride is also known as Vanity.)

  • Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

  • Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

  • Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

  • Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. (It is also known as Wrath.)

  • Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. (It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.)

  • Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual or mental work.

    1. I'll take "pride" for 100, Jim. For, pride goeth before the fall..

    and when this idiot falls, a lot of people go with him.

    On edit: *'s pride makes him believe that God loves America above all other nations, that God chose him (instead of Jeb and the SCOTUS) and that God has choosen him to bring evildoers to justice. His pride makes him believe that because we were attacked on 9/11 we have the right to throw a tantrum at the world. He believes that we have the right to unilaterally attack other nations who have done nothing to us. And if anybody doesn't like it, it's just to bad. Because, we're Americans, and we're blessed above all other nations. What a delusional prick. :puke:

    2. Great minds think alike
    I was just about to post that...

    I worry about him taking all of us with him when he falls.

    are all equal in my mind of what he's guilty of.

    4. Was tough to call, but pride won out
    Because of my inability to know whether he really believes in his own delusional world that many of his supporters do. No matter how you boil it down even if he believes he is doing what is right and good for the nation and the world it all stems from his pride which leads to his lack of touch with the spirit and inner wisdom that should be guiding him.

    5. For the man who can't think of one mistake he's made
    as president, for the man who lectured us that freedom is a gift from God rather than a privilege paid for in the blood of true patriots, for the man who believes in no entitlements for anyone but himself and his ilk: pride is the only choice.

    He makes Richard Nixon look humble.
