14. I'm with you...tough choice.
I certainly decry their vast reservoir of arrogance, but had to go with abuse of power. For one thing, it is their abuse of power that enables all of the other evils.

8. Intolerance
We can vote them out in November, we can remove their power so there will be no power for them to abuse, but we can't do a thing about their hatred and bigotry. Hell, if it wasn't for their hatred and bigotry, they most likely wouldn't be in power to begin with.

10. It's spelled 'hypocrisy' ... but I think the COMPLETE LACK OF EMPATHY
Edited on Sat May-20-06 07:38 PM by TahitiNut
... is the single most despicable characteristic. It's the hallmark of a whole range of mental disorders, too. The Bushoilini cabal is without even the smallest traces of compassion. Cheney was the 'victim' in shooting his crony. Junior regards himself as a 'victim' of the Iraq "War."


I sorta like the 'hypocracy' malapropism spelling, though - it makes it sound like a political ideology.

In the spirit of "English as a living language," I actually think we could find a very useful definition for 'hypocracy' as "the pretense of a democracy by the wealthiest 0.1% with little or no respect for rhetorical honesty or candor."
