So you think undermining our president is good?Okay, if you say so. Anything that weakens the US is not a good thing.
You'll have a hard time convincing liberal Democrats who turned cartwheels of joy on The Mall when Obama wandered the world groveling and apologizing. With that I wish you well.
I was a young guy when Reagan was taking the Soviet empire out. Didn't the democrat senators write letters to Gorbachev?
Nope. The voices in your head are making shit up.
...
Reagan made his speech on June 12, 1987, and the dismantling of the Berlin Wall did not begin until November 1989, more than two years later when Reagan was in retirement. Even then, President Gorbachev didn’t “tear down this wall”; the German people did, starting with sledgehammers and later using industrial equipment, as East and West Germany were reunified
timelines are a bitch for little voices to remember ...

He just got it wrong. Kennedy's letter is for real. Here's Forbes. Kennedy offered even air time on American media to propagandize against Reagan.
Kennedy made Andropov a couple of specific offers.
"First he offered to visit Moscow. “The main purpose of the meeting, according to the senator, would be to arm Soviet officials with explanations regarding problems of nuclear disarmament so they may be better prepared and more convincing during appearances in the USA.” Kennedy would help the Soviets deal with Reagan by telling them how to brush up their propaganda.
Then he offered to make it possible for Andropov to sit down for a few interviews on American television.
“A direct appeal … to the American people will, without a doubt, attract a great deal of attention and interest in the country. … If the proposal is recognized as worthy, then Kennedy and his friends will bring about suitable steps to have representatives of the largest television companies in the USA contact Y.V. Andropov for an invitation to Moscow for the interviews. …
The senator underlined the importance that this initiative should be seen as coming from the American side.”
Kennedy would make certain the networks gave Andropov air time–and that they rigged the arrangement to look like honest journalism."

Ted Kennedy s Soviet Gambit - Forbes
EXACTLY like I said- Repubs are MAJOR defense (read-offense") contractor fluffers. Thats some serious welfare seeing as taxpayers foot the bill.Tom Cotton, the freshman Republican senator from Arkansas who organized the letter announced he will be attending a major gathering of lobbyists for weapons contractors on Tuesday, where he will speak off the record. Pissed off yet? You and millions of others.
Republican capitalist cronyism at its finest 
There are times when the word “treason” is thrown around lightly. This is not one of those times. And while it may meet the legal definition of ‘sedition’ more than ‘treason,’ Republicans have consistently been trying to usurp President Obama’s authority by derailing negotiations with Iran. Though their invitation to Netanyahu doesn’t equate to treason, their directly contacting Iran’s leaders to stop the peace process violates federal law. And Americans aren’t taking it any longer.
REPUBLICANS THREATEN IRAN
When Republicans invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress, without even consulting the White House, it became obvious that they were trying to override the President’s authority. Netanyahu and the Republicans’ main goal in doing this was to hinder the negotiations process with Iran, which could prevent an all out war that would engulf the entirety of the Middle East.
The move was undoubtedly shady, but it wasn’t all that surprising. The real kicker happened when, as we reported, 47 Republicans in the Senate wrote a threatening letter to the leaders of Iran informing them that any deal reached with the President would be null and void if a Republican were ever to enter the White House. Also very disturbing is the fact that Tom Cotton, the freshman Republican senator from Arkansas who organized the letter announced he will be attending a major gathering of lobbyists for weapons contractors on Tuesday, where he will speak off the record. Pissed off yet? You and millions of others.
VIOLATION OF THE LOGAN ACT
Even the most staunch Republican cannot deny that directly contacting Iran, in an effort to derail the President’s authority, is downright shady and unethical. Unfortunately for those 47 Republicans in Congress, it’s also treasonous.
As it turns out, The Logan Act is a federal law, signed in 1799 and last amended in 1994, which prevents unauthorized citizens from communicating with foreign governments for a variety of reasons. The text of the law is as follows:
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.”
This means that Republicans outright violated federal law in an effort to usurp President Obama’s authority. They were in no way authorized to communicate with the leaders of Iran. Punishment under this law is a maximum of three years in prison.
Americans recognize this, and so a petition was created on the White House website to file charges against the 47 Senators who violated the law. As of this writing, hundreds of signatures were being added every few minutes.
The White House petition website works in a way that, when a petition reaches 100,000 signatures, the White House has to issue a response. The Republicans have undoubtedly overstepped their authority and engaged in undeniable treason, and it’s time that they were held accountable. Note: There appears to be a glitch on the White House petition page which has frozen the number of signatures. Rest assured that the tally is much higher than it is showing.

Awesome! That makes it all okay.I was a young guy when Reagan was taking the Soviet empire out. Didn't the democrat senators write letters to Gorbachev?
Nope. The voices in your head are making shit up.
So should we prosecute them also?
You made something up, and now you want to act on it? Really?
Kennedy's letter to Andropov. I'm pretty sure that's what the poster is referring to.
Kennedy and the Dem's were willing to work with Andropov in dealing with Reagan and in return Kennedy wanted to work with the Soviet Union to defeat Reagan in the 1984 election.

It just shows the hypocrisy involved in the Dems rush to throw stones at Republicans.
And that's not the only example that can be put forth regarding Dems undermining a sitting Republican President.

Something about Ted Kennedy?I was a young guy when Reagan was taking the Soviet empire out. Didn't the democrat senators write letters to Gorbachev?
Nope. The voices in your head are making shit up.

You made something up, and now you want to act on it? Really?
it does seem dumb to be talking to Iran given that they have shown no intention to give up their nuke program for 20 years. I mean what is there to negotiate if they have no intention of giving it up.Obama is a traitor to the United States by entering into negotiations with a terrorist Islamic state. A state whose national proclamation is "death to America".
Doses he even know about Iran? Was he in his Islamic school when the US embassy was attacked?
All the BS stalling has only let them build and hide the program more and more.
