Mark (Levin): I can understand (although I do not agree with) the position that the tax cuts were a bad idea at the time, but that they cannot be repealed without a devastating impact on the economy. That’s not inconsistent. I can also understand the position McCain has taken on immigration — namely, that he still wants a guest worker program like he always did, but he wants to work for one after he convinces Americans that he’s serious about border security.

But what I cannot understand is why anyone would worry about McCain because he is ”inconsistent” when Romney is the alternative. The difference between McCain and Romney on taxes is nil — both opposed the tax cuts at the time, neither wants to let them expire. The only difference on immigration is that Romney changed his position on the issue after voicing approval of McCain’s program as late as 2005.

If you think the Democrats will criticize McCain over inconsistencies, just wait and see what they do to Romney.
