Brownback: For It Before He Was Against It

Dan Milbank of the Washington Post reports:

Sen. Sam Brownback (Kan.), a Republican presidential candidate, voted for the [immigration] bill, then changed his vote after defeat was obvious.
Sen. Brownback's presidential campaign web site states:
U.S. Senator Sam Brownback today voted against the Senate immigration bill.

"I voted against the Senate immigration bill because I am not convinced it would fix our broken immigration system and it would most likely repeat the mistakes of the 1986 reform," said Brownback.
I guess honesty isn't one of Brownback's virtues either.
