Ted Kennedy Made Secret Overtures to Russia to Prevent Ronald Reagan’s Re-Election
The Daily Signal ^ | December 14, 2016 | Kevin Mooney

Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy had “selfish political and ideological motives” when he made secret overtures to the Soviet Union’s spy agency during the Cold War to thwart then-President Ronald Reagan’s re-election, a Reagan biographer said in an interview with The Daily Signal.

When they came to light years later, Kennedy’s secret contacts with the Russians through their KGB spy agency in the early 1980s didn’t cause nearly the tizzy that Russia’s alleged interference with this year’s election has for President-elect Donald Trump among liberal activists and reporters.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom Trump has said he hopes to “get along,” is a former foreign intelligence officer and lieutenant colonel in the KGB.

Teddy and John Tunney of California also met with KGB types to try and get Carter embarrassed in the 1980 primaries

As usual the top dog commies ignore useful idiots. Until they need them

It's time to stop these racist and drunkist comments. There is nothing wrong with liberals manipulating elections or violating ethics rules.

I remember when Ted made a run for the Democrat nomination against the Democrat sitting president Jimmah Cahtah.

Ted visited a grain elevator south of Des Moines, Iowa and a crowd of curious farmers were invited to be on hand.

“Hows the service out here on the Wabash ?” Ted bellowed, suggesting he'd hold hearings on the issue when he got back to Washington.

This caused great curiosity amongst the Iowegians since it had been more than 100 years since the Wabash served Iowa...

Kennedy also had connections with the Irish Republican Army, responsible for murdering Lord Mountbatten.

Make no mistake, Kennedy was as bad as Whitey Bulger. He was a mob boss of the worst kind.

May he suffer in hell for eternity.

I’ve often wondered who that insufferably smug-looking little Commie is. I would be surprised if she hadn’t already been slapped to death some years ago.
