In other words, he was not flip-flopping on his core beliefs, but he was willing to listen to critics." However, McCain's current stance on immigration represents a reversal of his prior position -- not simply a "shift[] in emphasis": McCain had previously argued that border security could not be disaggregated from other provisions in legislation on comprehensive immigration reform. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802100002 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 17:18:53 EST
