When posting on forums, the worst thing one can do is to actually get angry. Jousting and sparing is one thing... anger is another. Those who do it best are a little like lawyers who battle feircely in the courtroom and then go out to lunch together. 
I don't think that I've ever actually seen anyone's mind be changed in a forum discussion... and, that is OK. It hones our skills at presenting our own arguments for face-to-face discussions and forces us to do our homework.
That does not mean that there are not serious questions for Christians to ponder when supporting a candidate. But, presenting arguments is quite different from emotionally going over the edge when those arguments are rejected.

I think that everyone that critizes Palin or her daughter for having this baby is only supporting abortion.
Im sure the Democrats would be really happy if she had one. They may praise her to the hills if that happened.
I think you are very, very wrong on this one because not everyone who are critical about Palin do not support abortion.I don't support abortion so you and others here need to stop assuming things like this just because some one has an opposing viewpoint. Not all democrats support abortion as not all GOP's agree with the consevative wing of the party.
If a person votes for someone who supports abortion then they are supporting it. Period.

How does one vote for those who champion the right to murder the unborn and at the same time not support the right to murder the unborn? How does one parcel their support in such a manner to avoid supporting abortion? Does one write a note on their ballot saying they only support the "good" stuff?
EXACTLY!

Actually, I would argue that Hawthorne was addressing hypocrisy on Puritan culture.

I would agree with that. Legalism and hypocracy. It was the COVERUP that was hypocritical... not the failure.
