So if it was secret, how were people being hypocrites?

 

[S.J.]

Every slimy Democrat in Washington was sucking up to the Soviet Union in the 80's. Not just the Soviets but other Communist dictators as well. They supported the Sandinista dictator Daniel Ortega as well. They loved the Russians and hated the U.S. They've always been traitors and so are their supporters. Just look at the ones here, total scumbag traitors. They side with every one of our enemies.

Okay, so
Conservative Opposition - Hardline conservatives protest Gorbachev’s visit to Washington, and the signing of the treaty, in the strongest possible terms. When Reagan suggests that Gorbachev address a joint session of Congress, Congressional Republicans, led by House member Dick Cheney (R-WY—see 1983), rebel.

Cheney says: “Addressing a joint meeting of Congress is a high honor, one of the highest honors we can accord anyone. Given the fact of continuing Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, Soviet repression in Eastern Europe, and Soviet actions in Africa and Central America, it is totally inappropriate to confer this honor upon Gorbachev. He is an adversary, not an ally.”

Conservative Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Committee is more blunt in his assessment of the treaty agreement: “Reagan is a weakened president, weakened in spirit as well as in clout, and not in a position to make judgments about Gorbachev at this time.”

Conservative pundit William F. Buckley calls the treaty a “suicide pact.” Fellow conservative pundit George Will calls Reagan “wildly wrong” in his dealings with the Soviets.

Conservatives gather to bemoan what they call “summit fever,” accusing Reagan of “appeasement” both of communists and of Congressional liberals, and protesting Reagan’s “cutting deals with the evil empire” (see March 8, 1983). They mount a letter-writing campaign, generating some 300,000 letters, and launch a newspaper ad campaign that compares Reagan to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

Senators Jesse Helms (R-NC) and Steven Symms (R-ID) try to undercut the treaty by attempting to add amendments that would make the treaty untenable; Helms will lead a filibuster against the treaty as well.

Cause and effect:

Cause: Russians and US intelligence exposed the Democrats, DNC and liberal media as corrupt, liars and incompetent.

Effect: Blame the Russians and Republicans as the Democrats tread water.

"Trump is the disgusting gastapo because he wants to grab a pussy."

"Bill Clinton proved much worse while even in office. He's the A#1 favorite Democrat by Democrats."

"But Clinton isn't running for POUS."

"No, his wife is because she's married to him, and he'd be first lady to boot."
