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.

Interesting that all your examples are for legislative, not executive, positions.
Well, considering the women who generally run in Washington state for governor are democrats, I hope you can forgive me. Though I did vote for the old prune Ellen Craswell in 96.
If I lived in CA, I’d vote for Chelene Nightengale in a second.
Stuff that makes you go “Hmmm.”
I'll tell you my determination: he wasn't talking about Orly Taitz. I have a little bit of authority in the matter, seeing that he was having the conversation with me. As an aside, I offered him the opportunity to retract or revise his statement (over the next day or so), and he declined.
Funny to see how it's being spun, now.
The issue isn't whether you would vote for a woman. Rather, it is whether you would allow a woman to vote.
I know that was beyond your comprehension. Let me help you out, Dunga Dim.......
To Jveritas: Kiss off you trolling jackass
To Leisler: Prove it you asshole
To Las Vegas Ron: Your posts are moronic, kiss off troll
To Favor Center: Your particular brand of stupidity has been around on the Internet for ages. You’re just another droning anti-Republican, Democrat-enabling troll. It doesn’t matter where in the political spectrum you lie. You’re a Democrat. Period, lamebrain!
To FavorCenter: You’re a troll. Eff off, jackass.
To Just a Nobody: The John Birch Society Wants You, Just A Nobody. Be A Somebody In The JBS!
To OldArmy52: Piss off, numbskull
To Quesney: Every RINO in Congress and the Senate voted against this disaster. It is the fault of the Democrats. Period. You’re a clueless loser...and a Democrat-abetting chump.
It goes on and on and on, you cult worshiping lickspittle. So save me the drama that you only attack those who call you a cult worshipping lickspittle.
More accurately, if I favor the repeal of the 19A
You're not even man enough (pun intended) to just come out and say that you don't want women to vote.
Most entertaining thread, thanks.
I didn’t know old Dunga Dim here thinks you are JBS material.
Didn’t we go through a lengthy discussion centered around the 19A once already? I know you’d like to forget, because I exposed your reasoning skills to be non-existent.
And this thread, for pissant misogyny rules:

That was the first way you tried to spin it, yes.
I’ll “chat” with you again after you fess up you lied through your teeth about our little fred discussion the other day. IF you can’t be honest, despite whatever differences we may have, it’s not worth it.
Anyone can read your leaps of logic, spanky.
You said it, I asked you about it, and you repeated it. It’s all on the record. So easy, a caveman could do it . . . .
Yep, it’s all right there. Pissant vs. the feminist.
And you were speaking of “logic,” yes?
You still make no sense. Go back to shilling for the chicoms. You actually had better points to make.
