Palin Says U.S. is on ‘Road to Ruin’

[alp227]

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Sarah Palin opened a celebration of Ronald Reagan this weekend by declaring that the United States was lurching toward a “road to ruin,” saying the nation had become so weighed down by debt and excess government that a new direction was urgently needed in Washington.

She did not, however, provide any clues as to whether she would join the Republican primaries and seek to challenge President Obama or simply continue to offer commentary from the sidelines.

For Ms. Palin, a speech here Friday evening at the Reagan Ranch Center offered an opportunity to connect herself to the most iconic figure of the Republican Party. She used the appearance — one of the highest-profile Republican platforms in months — to rally conservatives by drawing parallels between government expansion under President Lyndon B. Johnson and the Obama administration.

This story is to appear on page A21 of the Sunday edition. And of course given that this is a Reagan Foundation event she's not allowed to discuss how the national debt tripled during the Reagan administration, nor the dark side of the Reagan era like unemployment, Savings & Loan bailouts, Iran-Contra, etc.

4. that stupid dingbat.

The reason we are drowning in debt, idiot Sarah, is that your hero Reagan massively drove America into debt. Jeez, that moron Palin is going to cause me to have an aneurysm someday.

5. Pallin is right, we are on the road to ruin if she & the other right-wing extremists get enough

control & get their way.

7. Silly, she meant "road to Rouen"

the seat of the Norman Exchequer in the middle ages. She's all about fiscal responsibilty, and who was more fiscally responsible than the Normans? I mean, didn't the Rouennais burn Joan of Arc to end an expensive war? RESPONSIBLE!
