WASHINGTON - Sarah Palin, seen as a possible Republican presidential candidate, has paid tens of thousands of dollars for foreign policy advice to a U.S. firm that represents three overseas governments, campaign finance documents show.
While legal, the advisers work as an agent for other countries raises questions about whether Palin is receiving impartial information about foreign relations and could be become a subject of debate if she runs for president or another elected office.
Financial reports filed by the former Alaska governors fundraising committee known as SarahPAC, show that between December 2009 and the end of May 2010, it made seven payments to Orion Strategies.
The firm is a Washington consulting firm founded and led by Randy Scheunemann, a lobbyist who served as a senior foreign policy adviser to John McCain in his 2008 U.S. presidential bid and to Palin when she became McCains Republican running mate.
Controversy over campaign advisers who work as lobbyists for foreign or domestic interests can often blight national political campaigns. At least five of McCains aides quit his presidential campaign because of their lobbying activities.

Behind RNC HQ, next to the soda pop machine, there's a Diebold Vote-A-Matic machine set up and ready to go.
The Sarah Palin hatred is getting out of hand (again). To save America, and to take the White House away from Obama in 2012, were going to have to crash these haters to the ground right along with their comrades in the lamestream media.
You know, I do recall that post. I remember thinking it was so outrageous, it had be a joke, introduced for effect, and didn’t give it any credence. But now, I have to accept he was serious.
I feel like a fool for trying to rationalize with this medieval cretin.
What a bunch of crap
“You and your troll buddy Evening Star just compared Sarah Palin to a dog”
I did?
You're a jackass. The lamestream media, the leftwing comedy media, the Democrat Party and every liberal/progressive/socialist I know attack Palin's supporters as mental midgets, cultists, pathetic small-minded folk bitterly clinging to their guns, religion, morality and values. I have to put up with this shite on a regular basis. The people I work with are generally leftist Obama supporters who never get enough of making fun of Palin and folks who like her.
As far as I'm concerned, anyone attacking Sarah Palin's supporters is an ASSHOLE. That goes double for anyone who does it using religious terminology and imagery. It goes triple for you, pissboy. Pound sand!
Chunga Dim, sure is good to see one of the prime ankle biting worshipers stop by. There is just no room to criticize the Precious one from the right. No siree. LOST? Sovereignty is over-rated anyway. Amnesty? Good enough for McCain/Perry/Cornyn good enough for Palin and America. “Real” global warming? Why not “do something” about it, like cap carbon emissions?
She’s all yours Chunga Dim
ROFL.
pissant is no match for me....lol.
I get bored. I’ve heard it all before. “Broken record.”
You do what you gotta do, right onyx. She never asked for it. It just happened. I will support whatever she decides. I trust her. I trust her judgment. I trust her down to earthiness.
Goodnight onyx. Night all. I’m done with this pisspot for tonight.
Good morning, Chunga!
It’s awfully cold here. I’m about to take off for the night.
LOL. I’m almost done for this night also. Terribly cold here for early October. You betcha! I trust Sarah too and for the very same reasons you stated. She’s genuine, honest and a patriot first. She has a servant’s heart. If she runs, I’ll do everything I can to help her win election.
Good night, takenoprisoner! I enjoyed being here with you tonight!!!
Good night!
:)
Her name is Sarah Palin, you misogynistic jackass.
I have no reason to believe you're sincerely attacking her from the right. Your mode of attacking Palin and her supporters is right out of Rules For Radicals.
prime ankle biting worshipers
You're a troll. There's no bigger ankle biter on this board. Your mockery has destroyed your credibility. Kiss off, pissboy.
“You all just insist she’s not electable”
I do? My argument is she is no conservative, not that she is unelectable. Obviously, the vast majority of presidents have been far from conservative. That’s why we are in a mess.
It’s probably going to get into the 30s here tonight...later this week it’s supposed to get back up to 80!
Sleep well onyx! Fight on.
You keep wanting to chat, Dunga Chin. Slow night at the RINO convention? Again?
Think post 191 by 2ndDivisionVet might have shed a little light on “The Problem”.....wink,wink....nudge, nudge ;^)
The above doesn’t read right -
NOT ONE OF PISSANT’S HATERS RESPONDED TO MY POLLING DATA, NAMELY EVENING STAR.
I merely pinged my friends Chunga, takenoprisoner, and The Cajun to my posting.
JUST TO BE CLEAR!!!
