Republican Sarah Palin said on Friday an explosion of government spending and debt under President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats had put the United States on "the road to ruin."
In a tribute to former President Ronald Reagan, the potential 2012 White House contender said leaders in Washington had lost sight of the values that made Reagan a Republican icon and a hero to conservatives -- a belief in limited government, low taxes and personal freedoms.
"This is not the road to national greatness, it is the road to ruin," Palin said of the growth in government spending, budget deficits, joblessness and housing foreclosures under Obama. "The federal government is spending too much, borrowing too much, growing and controlling too much," she said.
Palin said Obama had revived the era of big government, and she ridiculed the infrastructure spending and investment he outlined in his recent State of the Union speech.
"The only thing these investments will get us is a bullet train to bankruptcy," the 2008 vice presidential candidate said in a speech at the Ronald Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara, California, part of two days of festivities marking the late president's 100th birthday.
Reagan served two terms as president beginning in 1981, and his belief in limited government, reduced taxes and military strength has been the dominant political doctrine of his Republican Party ever since.
His legacy gained new momentum in the last year with the growth of the conservative grassroots Tea Party movement, which has focused on a push for limited government and reduced government spending.
Like virtually all Republican Party leaders, Palin and many of the other possible Republican candidates to unseat Obama go to great lengths to stress their belief in Reagan's principle.
But Palin said the Republican search for the next

Well said.
Ride THIS, troll:
Maybe they are from that new upstart true blue log cabin.
How horrid of her to say the present policies are going to ruin us.
Horrid I say.
Please go troll elsewhere.
It’s a simple question. Why can’t you answer it?
Galling, I know.
Please go troll elsewhere.....
The topic is "Palin says that Obama's policies have U.S. on road to ruin."
You don't think it fair to ask for specifics on how her policies would in any way change that destination, or even slow down the ol' "bullet train to bankrupcty"?
Really. If she's the "Tea Party candidate," certainly you can point me to some program or agency she wants to cut, or something that the current federal government is doing that is unconstitutional, can't you? How hard can it be?
Well, at least if I ask Alan Keyes what programs he will cut, he will tell me. And he will also lay out lots of stuff the federal government is doing that is not constitutional.
But, if your measure is who can get more votes, I guess you’d have no problem supporting Obama, right?
You’re a bad AM, violating the prime directive. LOL
Love it when you come in and add to the conversation or fun.
ZOT on.
LOL
“It’s a simple question. Why can’t you answer it?”
If it’s such a simple question, why don’t you answer it yourself?
Policy speeches are for candidates. She isn’t a candidate yet. When she is, we’ll be sure to let you know.
You've been asked nicely to take your stupid Keyes trolling elsewhere, please do so. No one wants to hear what the Keyes campaign manager wants to do by trolling on FR.
Hey I am for Palin. I am for whoever can get us out of this critical mess. But the dude likes Keyes, so what? I like Fred Flintstone, Bachmann,West,Cain and Keyes and Palin should I be banned? Keyes ran against Obama and Obama won because he said he was atrue african american from Kenya. Obama won in Chicago from removing all names from a ballot as well.
Obama is the corrupt one. Can’t primary politics be discussed without kitty zot banning crap?
Yeah, that’s because you have respect for the king. /s
Notice I put his title in lower case, in deference to the One True King, Jesus.
/s
LOL
Post on.
“Well, at least if I ask Alan Keyes what programs he will cut, he will tell me...”
And tell you and tell you and tell you while simultaneously jumping into a mosh pit. Real presidential, that.
Listen. Our country is on the road to ruin. And nice rhetoric minus specifics about how you intend to save it aren’t going to cut it. At least not with serious people.
But hey, if cotton candy conservatism is good enough for you, there’s nothing I can do about that. Go ahead and rot your teeth. See if I care.
You got that right.
Politics is an aspect of your life and an expression of your ideals.
Other than that, we got stuff to do, including sleeping on the Man Chair or couch on the weekend, while begging everyone for peace and as little noise as possible that won’t make us cranky.
Post on.
Stay thirstie, my friend.
He's a professional campaign manager for him and has a conflict of interest, in case you didn't know.
That's why he's here.
I didn't have a disparaging comment. I had a simple question. Which was met with the usual abuse.
I note that Palin supporters still can't show a single program or agency that their gal intends to cut.
Is this a Tea Party, like the kind that happened in 1773, or the kind where they serve tea and crumpets?
