Senator McCain forgot about Romney moving him to the right on immigration thereby costing him the Latino vote against Obama

Did you folks read the latest headlines regarding our Senator John McCain?

He is now trying to cast Mitt Romney as an Immigration Reform Advocate.  Republicans continue to insult the intelligence of Latinos as they try to rewrite history.  I suppose McCain forgot about this circulated mass mailer below when Romney and McCain were fighting it out during the Republican Presidential primaries of 2008. I watched Mitt Romney systematically move Senator John McCain far to the right on matters affecting immigration during the 2008 GOP Presidential Republican primaries.  If it had not been for Mitt Romney, Latinos may have felt more comfortable in voting for John McCain over President Obama.  I attribute the loss of the McCain Hispanic vote to multiple-choice Mitt Romney.

McCain has been in the Senate too long, and his forgetfulness is causing me to be a strong believer in term limits.   Besides, McCain is no longer an amigo when he decided to vote against the DREAM Act of 2010.

A Flashback When Romney Moved McCain to the right on immigration thereby costing him the Latino vote against President Obama in 2008.
