Where he is obviously saying that since his bill wasn't going to pass, he wouldn't have wasted time pushing it.
That is the question that was asked. The moderator asked him if he would vote for it if it was on the floor of the Senate. McCain was trying to duck out of the question at first by saying it wouldn't reach the floor, but when he was pressed, he admitted he wouldn't vote for it because now popular opinion was against it.
After all with Tim Russett in late January, he said he would SIGN the bill if President. But says that would never happen (it would never pass).
And in the debate three days later, he said that he would've voted against McCain-Kennedy.

I think you guys are getting distracted from the real issue here, which is that McCain is a maverick with huge balls while Obama has never done a brave thing in his entire political career.
Bush was a much stauncher supporter of McCain-Kennedy. I think that makes him teh Original Maverick.

So he said it one time in a debate, while being pressured on a question and I can't find an instance of him saying it otherwise... yeah... that shows he reversed his position on it.

Yes. Taking a position doesn't actually mean that you're actually taking that position if you're in a debate.

He kept as quiet as possible during the primaries, and then flip-flopped again as the general started up.
As I said, I don't particularly distrust McCain on immigration. But this nonsense that he's teh Maverick for hopping from position to position as expedience dictates is moose****.

Dunno. I haven't looked, since, as I said, I don't really distrust him on immigration.
I also am not fan of his disingenuous campaign in the Latino community misconstruing Obama's position on immigration reform (he's characterizing voting for amendments that all the major Latino rights organizations supported as trying to kill immigration reform).

I'm sure he's not a fan of Obama ads implying McCain agrees with Rush Limbaugh on immigration.

Those are low blows too. Not for associating Limbaugh's position with McCain, since he did support the "enforcement first" position of the House Republicans in the debate, but because of the Limbaugh quotes which McCain isn't the least bit responsible for.

One Limbaugh quote McCain is responsible for:
"Honestly I don't have the first clue what his campaign is planning, because if I even drove within 5 miles of his campaign headquarters, they'd probably call the cops on me! In fact, I couldn't even guess where his headquarters are!"
Yeah, it's safe to say the guys aren't joined at the hip.
