It seems like Senator McCain resorted back to his old behavior: make decisions on the spare of the moment and hope they work out. It seems that he does not think before he reacts.

As an example, he says things that he thinks are true--he really believes them--and then he has to go back and prove that he was right, but he can't because they were proven wrong.  Was his decision to have Palin on the Republican ticket wrong? If it was not, why did he keep the main press from talking to her when he picked her?

Now the press is getting to her, when McCain is not around, and she is saying things that are questionable: earmarks that she got from congress; pro-life, but takes the life of a moose and is proud of it--according to pro-lifers, all life is valuable--I might be wrong on this, but how can you say you believe in something, and do the opposite when it suits you. In other words, what she is saying, human life is valuable, but wild life is not. 

Please show me that I am wrong about McCain making decisions. Our next president will have to make decisions that involves the lives of Americans, which includes me, so therefore, I want a president that can make educated decisions, and not decisions on the spare of the moment, like Mccain did with Palin.

Taking care of a handicap child with special needs, and the prevention of having a handicap child are two different things. This research, or any research, that would help to prevent having a handicap child is worth it. I believe that all women and men do want the prevention of handicap children, but for some reason Palin is letting her religious beliefs get in her way. Religion is good, but don't let it hurt our children--born or unborn.
