McCain Is ‘Glad’ To Have Championed Immigration Legislation That He Wouldn’t Support Today

[DogPoundPup]

In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun released yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) praised himself for sponsoring the McCain-Kennedy immigration reform legislation of 2006, which failed to pass the Senate last year due to conservative opposition:

I haven’t won on every issue. I didn’t win on immigration reform, but I’ll go back at it. And I’m glad I did it.

McCain’s praise for comprehensive reform is a reversal of rhetoric he used when speaking of his own legislation when seeking the GOP nomination. In fact, in a Jan. 30 GOP debate, McCain said he would not vote for his own bill today...

1. Anyone else deeply confused as to what his true position on immigration reform is?

Besides McLettuce, of course--I expect him to not know his own positions.
