"Reagan's War" was a great book, and I recommend it to everyone.

The book also talks about how the Soviets had the leader of the German parliament and a Scandavian Prime Minister on the payroll. They were Soviet agents.

Given the Soviet penetration at these levels in other countries, combined with their penetration in this country (Ames, Hansen, etc....), I find it hard to believe that they did not have American Congressmen on the payroll as well.

It is my ardent desire to see these traitors exposed and dealt with appropriately.

And while we're on the subject of Soviet interventions in American politics, let's not forget that they also murdered a man who was likely to win election as President in 1988.

The only good thing about Carter was riding the interest rates down in my mutual funds after Reagan got elected.

Ping and Bump...

This should hit hard, but will probably get barely a mention in the press.

All "progressives" like Carter are communists, including many who "serve" our country with a (D) next to their name.

Book: Carter, Democrats Asked Soviets to Stop Reagan, Sway U.S. Elections.

If an agent code-named "Peanut" appears in some de-coded Venona intercepts,
I think we have a candidate...

[scabbage]

I'm sure this will lead every nationwide newscast tonight....NOT!!!!!

You can say that again. I mean if a woman went on national television not once but twice and accused a democratic President of raping her, I`m sure even that would be ignored, unbelieveable as that may sound. Oh wait...

This is bad if true. On the other hand similar things have been done by other candidates, even Republican ones.

In 1968, the Nixon campaign was concerned that President Johnson would make progress before the election at the Paris peace talks to negotiate an end to the war in Viet Nam. The Nixon campaign reportedly tried to stall any progress by convincing the South VietNam government not to join the peace negotiations as they would get a better deal from a Nixon administration.

In the book October Surprise, historian Gary Sick alleged that the 1980 Reagan campaign contacted the Iranians through William Casey to encourage them not to release the hostages until after the election, again with the promise of a better deal. I believe that there were congressional hearings about these charges although I don't know what the results were.

Thanks for the heads up!

Carter the Commie ping

[StriperSniper]

Or "Goober".

[VOA]

Or "Goober".

LOL!
I still refuse to believe that the Jimmy Carter that served in Admiral Rickover's
Nuclear Navy is the same guy that was Gov. of Georgia and (merciful heavens)
got four years of free rent in The White House.

Gee, I wonder if this was on CNN?
Will Katie get that deeply concerned voice and ask Jimmy if he was a communist? Will she sneer at him and chide him for trying to get a foreign enemy to influence an election?

The October Surprise was discredited by the investigation.It was a lie.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Like the Killer Bunny Rabbit and the Flying Saucer, another fascinating chapter in the history of Carterosophy.

[MEG33]

Thanks for the ping.I did not vote for him,though I did think he was a good man.I now consider him a grandiose,spiteful man.Now this playing footsie with the Russians shouldn't be a surprise after reading "Treason",but it is.

There is one very important difference. South Vietnam was an ally of they United States. The Soviet Union was the putative enemy of the United States. Also incumbent DemocRAT president was trying to undermine (backstab) an ally to help the DemocRAT Vice-President and presidental candidate Hubert Humphrey, while the Republican presidential candidate was promising to help an ally.

In 1984 the former DemocRAT president was trying to enlist the help of the number one enemy of they United States to try to defeat the sitting President of the United States. If that had occurred during wartime it would have been treason.
