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.

You sure get pissy when someone quotes your words back to you.
I’m Happy as a clam at high tide, nancy.
So am I. Like I said, you are most entertaining, for a homo.
Do you really think I shouldn't vote? TeeHee
Univision: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
Sarah Palin: No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.Univision: To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
Sarah Palin: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

"2 - Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So, she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES". Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar."

This was the spirit that brought me to the governors office when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau, when I stood up to the special interests, and the lobbyists, and the Big Oil companies, and the good-old boys...When oil and gas prices went up dramatically and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged: directly to the people of Alaska. And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way that they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources. As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.

Governor Palin Signs Domestic Violence Legislation

Well, I’ll take the JBS over a cult, that’s for sure. But yes, you can vote. The passed that mistake back 90 years ago. LOL
ROFL. I'll give you that one pissant that was funny.
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
The birth of the nanny state.
Oh well, that water is long under the bridge, and it ain’t going back upstream anytime soon. But I have faith in some of my chick buddies, like Just a Nobody and Calcowgirl, to help us kill off the nanny state now. My wife is fully on board, and my two little girls will make Rush Limbaugh seem like a democrat when they reach their voting age.
Post #61 you nailed it.
Yes...same kinds of women in my life, too—more conservative than any candidates offered by favored constituents.
It must be in my blood.
I never liked nannies. ;-)
You somehow think my ex support for Fred (and horror of horrors I said he was pro-life!) is unforgivable, but your out and out despicable views towards women are normal.
Sorry, the equivalence argument is as insane as you appear to be.
You poor, hopeless retard.
Oh thank you, my lord!
LOL! ;*)
Don’t thank me. It was Teddy Roosevelt’s idea!
