In 1983, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy offered to help the Soviets mount a public-relations offensive in the United States. ...Mr. Kennedy reportedly felt that Mr. Reagan's only weakness was in foreign policy. Here, the articles say Mr. Kennedy felt the Soviets might be of assistance, if Mr. Kennedy and the Democrats could get the ear of the general-secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. ...former Sen. John V. Tunney, a California Democrat, went to Moscow and met with officials of the KGB on Mr. Kennedy's behalf.
In considering all this information, it is necessary to understand how the USSR and the KGB operated during the Cold War. The Soviet KGB (i.e. the Secret Police) was nothing if not thorough. Visitors to Moscow, especially important visitors, could count on total and constant surveillance, both audio and video. Total surveillance would include meetings, private conversations, bedrooms and even bathrooms. The Soviets were also masters in using any information that was acquired to manipulate or even blackmail the victim. So, like perversion of the Miranda rights statement, anything anyone said or did in Moscow could be and often was used against them — but not in a court of law.
Reportedly, after Mr. Reagan left office, Mr. Tunney said that he had indeed contacted the Soviets on behalf of several U.S. senators — not just Mr. Kennedy. So, the question is, did some of the Democratic Party leadership offer to work with the Soviet KGB against Mr. Reagan? If so, were they later blackmailed into working for the KGB and against the United States on other fronts? How many Democratic politicians were compromised and later blackmailed? Lastly, if they were controlled by the Soviets, are they now "influenced" by the Russians? Inquiring minds want to know.

You know, I read stuff like this and I think that Republicans really must be the stupid party.
That we couldn't mount an efficient campaign against Kennedy is a national travesty.
He not only shouldn't be a Senator, he should be in jail.
I seem to remember your having a lot of info on this - am I right?
Hey scumbag Kennedy! Have a heart attack! No don't. Have two!
You have to let that sink in a bit. I have decided it's not just that the republicans are timid. They actually do not understand the principles at stake. They actually believe the political game they are in is all that matters and that terrible transgressions by the democrats are just part of that game. And therein lies the risk that we will lose this great country.
I think we're right in what we're saying and then sometimes, at my most paranoid, I wonder -- can it really all be about those 900 FBI files Hillary had on Republicans?
Maybe some of both.
Either way, we need men with a spine in Washington. There's no excuse for letting the liberals get away with their lies.
I know that the media is biased and it's difficult for Republicans to get their message across, but they owned both houses of Congress and the Executive branch -- it was inexcusable they didn't call massive press conferences which the press would be forced to cover. They could have sent out e-mails to their constituents and written letters to the editor in the papers (which most papers WILL print).
We had the biggest bunch of spineless jellyfish I've ever seen and it's no wonder that so few people vote.
Kennedy’s Comrade: Hunting a KGB Mole in the Democratic Party

Its about time that a, or maybe "the", non-lefty CIA guy came out with some ammo for our side.
" Reportedly..Mr. Tunney said that he had indeed contacted the Soviets on behalf of several U.S. senators — not just Mr. Kennedy. So...did some of the Democratic Party leadership offer to work with the Soviet KGB against Mr. Reagan? If so, were they later blackmailed into working for the KGB and against the United States on other fronts? How many Democratic politicians were compromised and later blackmailed?" I have to wonder where Leaky Leahy comes into all of this?
