Page 8/The Battalion/Thursday, March 8, 1984 Bush makes fun of democratic candidates United Press International MACON, Ga. — Vice Presi dent George Bush, mocking the Democrats’ “fearful five” presi dential aspirants, said Wednes day they would like to induce “mass amnesia” to make voters forget the impact of Democratic rule. Two weeks ago, in a well-re ported speech before the New Hampshire primary, Walter Mondale accused President Reagan of “leadership by amne sia.” Bush, starting a two-day, three-state southern campaign swing, turned the tables on those charges. “The opposition critics now roaming around the southern countryside ... would like the American people to forget what the economy was like before President Reagan took office in January 1981,” he said. Referring to the Democratic contenders. Bush said he “used to call them the woeful eight, but after New Hampshire they’ve been whittled down to the fearful five.” “They’re trying to short-cir cuit the voters’ memory bank,” he said. “They’d like to induce mass amnesia about those years, from 1977 through 1980, when they had control over both the executive and legislative branches of our federal govern- nent.” Bush, who also scheduled campaign stops in Birmingham, Ala, and Tampa, Fla., said, “It was their wasteful spending prog ams and their bloated fed eral bureaucracy that ran this countty’s economy into the ground during those years.” Monday was vice president at the time. Inviting voters to “look at the record,” ^ush claimed that “in four short years. President Rea gan has achieved one of the most dramatic economic turn arounds of this century, a turn around to the growth and pros perity of today.” At a news conference, Bush also said the administration’s civil rights record has been dis torted and misunderstood. He said he does not believe the multitude of blacks being regis tered in southern states will nec essarily vote against Reagan. ‘COUPON' # ■ INTERNATIONAL bouse «'»**«* RESTAURANT ALL YOU CAN EAT Buttermilk Pancakes Offer expires March 31, 1984 $1 79 4 p.m. - 6 a.m. 7 days a week * ■ 1 ProBIem PRcqNANcy?
