And I take it you do not wish to deal with Navarette's direct falsification about Obama's ACTUAL position?

"That is a jaw-dropping distortion. The bill wasn't killed by any amendments. It was killed by a firestorm of talk-radio rage and a Republican-led filibuster. The very bill that Mr. McCain now mourns is the one he sidled away from as his own party weakened and killed it. It's the one he says he would now vote against.

For Mr. McCain to suggest that Mr. Obama opposes the "path to citizenship" and "guest worker program" compounds his dishonesty. Mr. Obama supports the three pillars of comprehensive reform — tougher enforcement, expanded legal immigration and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already here."
