"The old Soviet Union was flexing its military might in Nicaragua, Angola, Afghanistan - and all of this went on while 54 diplomats were held hostage in Iran and Carter-Mondale did nothing. Iran was an ally before Carter-Mondale. I guess the Mondale doctrine about keeping our friends really worked wonders when it was implemented. This failure was Clinton's Ambassador to Japan, and what have we seen as progress on their trade barriers? Answer that, all you union people.

If Mondale had won the presidency in 1984, I guarantee you there would still be a Soviet Union. There'd be a Soviet base in Nicaragua - and who knows what would be going on in Afghanistan. There would never have been a Gorbachev, who was only put in to have someone friendly to deal with the "cowboy" Reagan. In one debate with Ronaldus Magnus, which you can watch below, Mondull said that we could never get ahead of the Soviet Union.

The American people proved him wrong by bankrupting that foe, and the result is a Russian Federation today that is selling us oil and supporting us in the war on terrorism."

Rush plus Watch Reagan Crush Mondale in the 1984 Presidential Debates.

I'd like to find a copy of the Reagan Vs Bush debates of the 1980 Presidential Primary.
