John McCain's "advocacy of comprehensive immigration reform" is among the policy positions that help "paint a portrait of someone not cut from the traditional [Republican] party mold." In fact, McCain has abandoned his previous support for comprehensive immigration legislation, saying that he "would not" support his original comprehensive immigration proposal if it came up for a vote in the Senate. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804230004 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:30:58 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804130003 A post on <em>The Washington Post</em>'s political blog, The Trail, stated that John McCain "once again made clear his opposition to broad federal intervention or bailouts."

In fact, Bush presided over a net loss of 2.6 million jobs, from the beginning of his presidency through July 2003. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607260003 Wed, 26 Jul 2006 09:03:34 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200605180011 <em>Washington Post</em> writers Dan Balz and Chris Cillizza asserted that the results of primary elections held in Oregon and Pennsylvania, which saw several Pennsylvania Republican state legislators ousted, "were the latest signals of brewing unrest that could threaten incumbents of both parties in the November elections." However, of the results reported in the article, the only one involving a Democrat was the primary victory of incumbent Oregon state Gov. Ted Kulongoski. http://mediamatters.org/items/200605180011 Thu, 18 May 2006 15:46:10 EST
