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 adviser’s 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 governor’s 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 McCain’s 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 McCain’s aides quit his presidential campaign because of their lobbying activities.

She's certainly not the only choice, but she sure seems to be the favorite here. You are just turning into a Sore Loserman.
What's not to love? Seriously :)
Let me clue you in a bit Dunga. That wasn’t even about Palin. It was about ORLY TAITZ. And since you are so interested in what I meant by that flippant remark, why don’t you take your little feminist self back to that thread and look at my posts before and after that.
For starters, I’ve never been a weekly standard fan. The lot of them was pushing amnesty.
But, FWIW, this Orion Strategies thing just doesn't bug me.
“Also, more recently when she said she supports McPain’s policies on immigration, maybe Juan said that he changed his mind and now sees the light on border security.”
That’s the funniest thing I ever read on FR. He wouldn’t even sign the letter to the court to support SB1070 recently signed by many of his senate/house members.
I read the whole thread. Of COURSE you were referring to Orly Taitz...after all, she's frequently mentioned as a possible candidate for Commander-In-Chief...as for the "flippant" nature of your remark about women having the right to vote, you recently suggested that you shared the founders' viewpoint on the matter. You defended your position. It is a position you hold.
You were later advised to lay off of Palin by the owner of this board...that's why, instead, you now spend so much time denigrating her supporters with the mocking language and imagery of the Marxists who share your view of their mentality.
I see you have a new line of attack. "Feminist," huh? You're imploding. LOL
Gosh, pissant, are you running for office?? If HALF the scrutiny were given to ‘possible’ candidates as is given against you here, we might actually accomplish something.
Kill the Messenger!!!! The never ending tactic of the left and the GOP elite.
If Palin was 1/2 the leader Thatcher was, I might give her some serious consideration. Unfortunately, only Bachmann earns that, despite your feminist diatribes that it is Palin.
So what it all boils down to is that you can not defend your AmnestyTARPMcCainWindfallprofitstaxLOSTFiorRino supporting deity, so you lash out at theoretical comments about I have about the 18th amendment.
And don’t even TRY to pretend your deity-worshiping arse is limited to your foamy mouth tirading against those who call you a deity worshiping arse.
Well heck Ace, let me post a link to that thread so all can view it easily and make their own determination.
OH NOES!!!! Palin is getting foriegn policy advice from someone that actually works with foriegn governments? What’s next financial advice from someone that was an accountant??? GOOD GOD WHAT IS SHE THINKING!!!!!!!
I was amazed at how many of the anti-Palin group came around to defend him.
It's a sickness in his pitiful psyche.
This is the sound of your brain snapping shut. LOL
Anyone who wants to run for President and thinks they can do so without a foreign policy adviser is too stupid to have the job.
Sure thing retard. Only why would I give money to Sharron Angle and M. Bachmann. Or vote for Linds Smith for senator many years ago.

Post it one more time and it will make it more, more, more believable.....Just saying.
I don’t want you to believe me. I like to keep the cultist retards on the other side.
Well you have certainly accomplished that......Excellent job, well done and kudos on your achievement!
