I think we should remember that Gollum is the evil side of Smeagol, so I pity Smeagol, cause he's got this inner battle with Gollum that he is losing. He does try to stand up to Gollum, the scene in TTT where he thinks he's won was so touching. He was just so happy that he was free, all the bad stuff wasn't really his fault cause Gollum was making him do it, and made him believe that he was alone and no-one cared for him. He was distraught about the thought of killing Frodo, so Gollum convinced him to get "her" to do it, the only reason he gave in was the mention of the ring. Again, his desire for it is driving him, he does not think rationally, as his need for it is blinding.
