The hypocracy knows no bounds.

I particularly love the part where they point out that the dems called out Bush four years ago about the money he spent on his party during a time of war, but it's okay for them to do that and then some this time around. Not whining about it or even saying it's wrong to have the parties - just pointing out the facts. I guess it's all about whose ox is being gored.

Hypocracy, all of them
They all do it, especially the ones that are in the same party and running against each other. Once they realize they can't win, it's all about thier candidate and how wonderful they are, blah, blah, blah. I do believe that our type of government and our voting system is the best that's out there, but I'm at least realistic enough not to trust what anyone in Washington, in the party or out of the party, says about any of the candidates. I say let thier records speak for themselves - that should be enough.
Hypocracy abounds!!!
In my town a lady has been arrested for trying to abort her unborn child by ingesting an assortment of dangerous substances, normal household cleaning agents and other substances found in every home. Okay, I an definitely against abortion BUT if it's no big deal for those who choose abortion to go out and purposefully abort their child and this lady is trying to do the same thing only differently, what's the difference? If she can be arrested, then shouldn't ALL mothers attempting abortion be arrested? 
This is as asinine as saying abortion is okay because the fetus isn't REALLY a child but on the other hand after the Laci Peterson murder in which she was carrying a child, a law was then passed that if a woman was killed while carrying a child, that person would be charged for 2 murders, not one, because the fetus IS a child!!!
Of course, there is really no way around trying to excuse it. If the fetus is a living thing if the mother is killed while pregnant, then isn't the fetus a living thing that deserves life, thereby abortion being murder? So absolutely asinine the laws we pass that just contradict one another!
Thoughts on hypocracy
Palin said she did not believe in abortion. When she found she had a late-in-life Down syndrome pregnancy, she did not have an abortion. When her daughter became pregnant SHE did not abort. I see no hypocracy there.
As for letting the boy move in, it may have been to ensure the health and safety of Palin's daughter and grandchild. You know how at that age you think you cannot live another second without the object of your affection? Her daughter might have moved out, lived and delivered the child God knows where. Maybe her daughter even threatened do do this to be with her boyfriend.
Knowing what political hay would be made of all this, Palin stood by and protected her child. Not an ideal situation, but maybe preferable to the alternative. I'm sure Palin would much have preferred her daughter not be knocked up out of wedlock, but presented with a done deed, not sure how most of us would have handled it. I don't see hypocracy there either.
People we love will often disappoint and/or embarrass us, and we cannot control their actions. All we can control is how we handle the situations they present us with. Hypocracy would have been for Palin to slip away for a secret abortion of her Down syndrome baby, or sneak her daughter out of town for the same procedure. Or send her daughter and the boyfriend off somewhere to live incognito or, try to hide the daughter's pregnancy.
I saw the video of the interview with Bounds and Campbell Brown...
are you saying there is a clip of McCain throwing a fit?
