How long will the Republicans get away with their blatant hypocrisy?

The Republicans have taken double standard hypocrisy to all new levels. What I wonder about is when or if the public will get wise to them.

Examples:

Sarah Palin screams and whines and demands Rahm Emanuel be fired for using the term "retard". Then she goes on FOX news and explains that it is perfectly OK if Rush Limbaugh uses the same term in the same way to describe the same people.

Dozens and dozens of Republicans have attacked the Dem's and Obama's stimulus plan while later praising the positive affects on their state and taking credit for it. On top of that they were for pay as you go, cap and trade and a deficit commission until Obama was for them then they go in the exact opposite direction.

Clips and facts at this video

Then you have this great example of how Republicans try to call President Obama an elitists for growing up in Hawaii and attending Harvard then turn around and go to a luxury resort in the same state while talking about how they are the ones representing the common man.

here is a nice video on that

The tea party is suppose to be a grass root movement yet they also held their convention in an over priced resort and charged in excess of $500 to attend, not exactly grass roots or common man

Finally the GOP was fine with the way George Bush handled the shoe bomber but when the Obama administration does the EXACT SAME THING they are all up in arms about how Obama is doing EVERYTHING wrong.

How on earth have the GOP managed to fool the public with their blatant hypocrisy?
