Who is McCain Lying to?

Steve Benen did a great job on entertaining the implications of this topic, straight from The Double-Talk Express. John McCain is asked by a member of the audience at the National Council of La Raza on his position on the DREAM Act. In front of Hispanic voters that would be the ones to benefit the most from this piece of legislation he did not hesitate to claim support.

Benen adds, "That’s clearly the right position for McCain to take. The Dream Act should be a no-brainer: “Roughly 65,000 children graduate each year from high school into a constrained future because they cannot work legally or qualify for most college aid. These are the overlooked bystanders to the ferocious bickering over immigration. They did not ask to be brought here, have worked hard in school and could, given the chance, hone their talents
and become members of the homegrown, high-skilled American work force."

But, of course we forgot that McCain is driving the Double-Talk Express. He usually says one thing to one group and the opposite to another. Included in the YouTube clip of McCain supporting the DREAM Act is an audio snippet claiming to oppose the measure.

So, what is it McCain . . . are you for it or against it. It is a quite simple response. This begs the question though . . . Who is McCain lying to? Who should feel duped and used? Are the voters that support the DREAM Act and heard McCain endorse it- the mistress or the wife? Someone is being lied to? It does not matter who it is because both groups should feel disrespected because McCain has attempted to deceive them both.
