Damn right Ted Kennedy was a traitor. And that's a tradition in his party.

..... As I document in "The New Reagan Revolution," liberal Democrats have a history of going behind the backs of the American people to cut deals with the Russians. From 1978 through 1980, when Sen. Edward M. Kennedy challenged then-President Jimmy Carter in the primaries, Kennedy sent former Sen. John Tunney as a go-between to contact the Soviet KGB. Kennedy tried to coax the Soviets to sabotage Carter, the sitting president of Kennedy's own party, to boost Kennedy's election chances.

Kennedy offered to blast Carter's policy toward the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in exchange for Soviet cooperation. Kennedy also offered to help the Soviets get their message out to the American people by bringing TV news anchors Walter Cronkite and Barbara Walters to Moscow to interview Soviet leader Yuri Andropov.

President Carter also played that game, sending industrialist Armand Hammer to meet with Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin. Carter asked the Soviets to allow Jewish refuseniks to emigrate to Israel — a move to improve Carter's standing with Jewish voters. If the Soviets cooperated, Carter promised to "remember" their help. The Soviets rejected Carter's overture.

After Ronald Reagan became president, Carter tried to use the Soviets to undermine the Reagan presidency. In January 1984, Carter went to Ambassador Dobrynin and told the Soviet emissary that the world would be better off without Reagan in the White House. That same year, House Speaker Tip O'Neill took Dobrynin aside and told him it was in the best interests of the Soviets and Democrats to keep "that demagogue Reagan" — a "dangerous man" with "primitive instincts" — from being re-elected.

Liberal Republican Sen. Charles Percy also visited Dobrynin, coaching the Soviets on how to win concessions from Reagan during arms control talks. It must have amazed Anatoly Dobrynin to see this parade of liberal American leaders pass through his office, advising him on how to undermine the American president and America's national security.

It's troubling to think that liberal American leaders would collaborate with a hostile government to undermine President Reagan at the height of the Cold War. Yet, that's exactly what they did.

I won't get into Obama's secret promises of flexibility offered to Putin and FDR's dealings with the USSR.

No patriotic American should ever vote Democratic.
