It would only be hypocritical if she expected Bristol to take advantage of state programs in order to get on her feet ...

If Sarah Palin believes that it is up to the family to take care of pregnant teenagers, and therefore cut public funding for a social program associated with pregnant teenagers, then by taking care of her teenage daughter as a family she would be consistent with her beliefs.

So, your slogan would be "Consistency We Can Believe In!" which is actually a fairly good slogan

Well, how would we know what she believes? Your'e not jumping to conclusions are you? A lot of crappy policy has been made that is consistent within crappy belief systems. But spin it any way you want, I guess.

 

I agree that lots of bad policies are consistent with people's beliefs, and (in fact) I believe that Sarah Palin's policy decision was wrong, this doesn't change the fact that akuma's claim that it was hypocritical was entirely wrong ...

On top of this, I didn't jump to any conclusions ... I made the stament "If Sarah Palin believes ... " which leaves open the possibility that she doesn't believe that.
