I support the NCR because in the hellhole that is the Wasteland a society whose worst traits are corruption and overextension, and a single massacre which everyone thinks was bulltrout and is deeply ashamed of, AND where you're freely allowed to say "That's some bulltrout right there" "What are we doing in the Mojave in the first place", and "President Kimball is an idiot" is a pretty goddamn nice society. Meanwhile Nipton, Nelson, the million other places the Legion has massacred. Also, you know what the NCR did with Bitter Springs after taking it? They turned it into a refugee camp and are doing their best to keep alive all the people who are fleeing Caesar's Legion. On which note, despite people in the Mojave grumbling when the NCR moves in, they don't embark en masse in an exodus to escape them. Funny thing. Are the NCR perfect? smurf no. Are they the best option? smurf yes.
But oooh no apparently a bit of hypocrisy is worse than being a cultlike, rigidly hierarchical empire built solely on the backs of slave labor. A society where Bitter Springs would be condemned because some of the Khans survived, where women are treated somewhere between slaves and cattle, where winning a fight justifies crucifying your enemies. I appreciate that men and women might as a matter of necessity have different roles but on the other hand the NCR (Or Followers of the Apocalypse, BoS, Khans, Families, or various tribes) have not needed to institutionalize rape-slavery to survive. So um yeah that's sort of contravened by the facts pretty thoroughly 
Oh as for hypocrisy, at least the NCR don't propagandize medicine as bad and then go right ahead and use it in secret to save their leader!
