Apparently, a conservative backlash had nothing to do with the failure of John McCain's immigration bill and its path to citizenship.

The McCain campaign has begun airing a new Spanish-language television commercial in the battleground states of Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico that lays the failure of comprehensive immigration reform at the feet of Barack Obama and his Democratic colleagues -- despite the fact that Obama supported the bipartisan John McCain-Edward Kennedy efforts to enact such reforms and voted for their final proposal last year.

In attacking Obama, despite Obama's support for the measure, McCain laments the faulure of his immigration reform bill, so despised by many of his party, including Texas Republican Se. John Cornyn.

The result: No guest-worker program. No path to citizenship. No secure borders. No reform. Is that being on our side?

Perhaps McCain thinks conservative opponents to his immigration reform bill don't  speak Spanish.
