It doesn't make Palin look bad to me. And contrary to you pathetic claim, there is no hypocrisy on Palin's part. I wager you personally differ from your parents views on some issue somewhere. Does that mean your parents are both hypocrites? Of course not.
Palin supports waiting until your married. She likely does so because of the pain it brings to those who don't, and her daughter is learning that right now. In an age when anyone can do as they please, and go wild when ever they want, you can not expect to hold every parent accountable for what teaching their children choose to ignore.
In order for Palin to be a hypocrite, you'd have to show she had no problem sleeping around before marriage herself.
You on the other hand, already are a hypocrite. Coming from a party that supported a absolute felon while in office, and someone who slept with every women but his own wife, and sexually harassed the women under his authority...
You have no credibility when talking about hypocrites.
As for the futility of abstinence education, you obviously have done no research on this topic. As a percentage, those exposed to abstinence based education, had drops of promiscuous activities by 50 to 60%. Moreover, I know of dozens that waited for marriage, and are now happily married. And I know dozens more that didn't, and now wish they had.
So you are incorrect. Abstinence education does work, and should be taught.
