McCain Says Ted Kennedy was "the Most Reliable, Prepared, and Persistent" Senator - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 28, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 08/28/2009 6:50:43 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of Sen. John McCain speaking tonight at the memorial service held at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston for Sen. Ted Kennedy.

McCain said Ted Kennedy "was good company, excellent company," and McCain said he would miss him "more than I can say."

McCain said Kennedy was "hard to ignore." He talked about working with Kennedy on the Immigration Reform Bill and said that Kennedy was totally reliable to keep his word and try to make others, including members of his own party, keep their word too.

McCain called Kennedy the most "reliable, the most prepared, and the most persistent member of the Senate." He close by saying the Senate will not be the same without him. . . . . (Watch Video)

John McCain is still irrelevant, with the exception that he is now the answer to the trivia question “Who did America’s worst President ever defeat to gain the office?”

McCain - “the Most unReliable, unPrepared, and Persistent against his own party” RINO Senator

The Black choir replaced the Name of Jesus in their hymn with “Teddy” - sick - sick and very telling

I am sickened and disgusted by all this fawning over Ted Kennedy. Orrin Hatch gave a sickening eulogy that was broadcast over all networks.

Come on, let’s try to be positive about the good Senator. All these complaints, all this negativity, is just water, Oldsmobiles, and dead young women under the bridge.

John, I think.......think you would have been a better Pres than zero, but it is to close to tell. Now jut go back home, put your feet up and say nothing and hopefully I will forget the dribble coming out of your mouth of late and remember you for the hero you were.

Ted Kennedy sure was reliable wasn’t he? Just ask Mary Jo. She relied upon him to help her out of the car. Yep, Johnny boy, you are starting to nauseate me.

Predictable? Sure, his boozing and skirt chasing was very predictable.

McCain’s voice has become like chalk on a blackboard.

I’m sure Mary Jo thought Ted was reliable, persistant and good company. Both Ted and John McCain can go F themselves.

Hey John, it’s statements exactly like this one, that are going to cause your reelection defeat. Trust me, we won’t miss you.

”Thank god that fool didn’t get elected president.”

I hate to admit it but you’re right. Can you even imagine a ‘Republican’ president that essentially espouses everything our Marxist counterparts support. Where the hell could we go from there? In a way Obama is exactly where he needs to be at exactly the right time!

McCain was and still is “the Most Reliable RINO doofus” who created solutions like McCain Feingold when there were no problems.

John “you have nothing to fear from Barack Obama” seems to be making more noise now than he did when he was running for President. Maybe Lieberman won’t play with him anymore and he has nothing to do.

To the voters in Arizona. PLEASE fire this man. Show your power in a landslide defeat for McCain.

His game has been to stay in office by getting the R vote but also the D vote with all his fence sitting. It's about him and not our country. He's someone who cannot be trusted. You are the boss, fire him!

I never realized it before, but McCain must be as big an alcoholic as Teddy was.
