I would say Baltar is totally evil. After being responsible for the death of billions, and thinking perhaps that you might never get caught, but you would have the knowledge that you did it, how do you think YOU would act? Lets just got with this whole innocent lamb thing for a moment. Maybe you don't come clean because that would get you shot, but you do your damnedest to make amens for it. Instead of lying about Cylon detectors, elections, giving the enemy nuclear weapons, perhaps you would try and make sure that you would never again be "led astray". Nope. Not this cat.
Plain and simple he consistently hurts others to his own advantage (many times leading to their death). He does this in cases both big and small.
Now does the show need a foil? Yep. Do I like him or his (evil) character? Nope, he is a filthy POS who needs to be tossed out the nearest airlock.
