[I]n May 2006, Mr. McCain complimented Mr. Obama for his “commitment to this issue,” and for “working to ensure this bill moved successfully intact through the legislative process.” Mr. McCain, however, said during a Republican primary debate in late January that if the legislation came back for a vote he would not support it because, “We know what the situation is today — people want the borders secured first.”

Obama and many other Democrats offered amendments to the bill. So did Republicans. Amendments didn't doom the bill. The right wing did.

Do you recall which party was adamantly opposed to compromise? Which party insisted on building a foolish fence before moving forward with any attempt at policy reform? Which party screamed "amnesty" in response to any proposal for a reasonable "path to citizenship"?

Do McCain and his deception advisers really believe a Spanish speaking audience will forget which party, despite having a supportive president, failed to enact immigration reform?

Immigration was one of the few issues John McCain could cite as evidence that he would work with Democrats to move the country forward if he's elected. Instead, he squandered his little remaining credibility on the issue by blaming Obama for a Republican failure.

Funny how the ad doesn't tell us McCain's current position on comprehensive immigration reform. He was for it before he was against it. If he's for it now, his base will howl in protest. If he's against it, he's undercutting his own advertising. What will McCain say when he's asked about immigration in the debates?
