John McCain pledged not to engage in partisan attacks during his visit to Colombia yesterday.

While Sen. McCain slammed his Democratic rival repeatedly as a flip-flopper on trade policy aboard his flight from Indiana to Colombia, upon landing in Cartagena for the start of his 3-day Latin American swing McCain stayed true to his pledge to leave all politics at home — or at least on the plane.

“The only discussion I had concerning the presidential campaign was that I believe that that any partisanship ends at the waters’ edge. I do not speak about the presidential campaign,” McCain said [...]

However, three weeks ago, John McCain lobbed a partisan attack -- in Canada.

In a cross-border political attack, John McCain said Friday that Barack Obama's opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement is "nothing more than retreating behind protectionist walls."

John McCain -- he was for partisan attacks on foreign soil before he was against it.
