I would count the "times" as terrible if we chose leaders with the following characteristics:

  - lovers of themselves
  - lovers of money
  - boastful
  - proud
  - abusive
  - ungrateful
  - without love
  - unforgiving
  - slanderous
  - without self-control
  - brutal
  - not lovers of the good
  - treacherous
  - rash
  - conceited
  - lovers of pleasure
  - hypocritical

I think we should have nothing to do with such people.

Certainly we should not be electing them to office. That would be a terrible idea, IMO.
