Palin adviser worked for foreign governments

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.

We can only hope...

I recall a promise to "bow out gracefully".

Her lips

Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!!!! again!!!!!!!!!!
This will surely be another determining factor in her run for the presidency!!!!!!!!!

And? Isn’t getting information from all sides a better way to make decisions?

I thought Megan McCain was Megan McCain in drag...

I think he was too busy looking at her lips to listen to what came out of her mouth.

Scheunemann has done work for the Republic of GEORGIA, for crying out loud.

The idiot pissant, is clueless.

So put up or shut up!
If not Sarah, then who?

Except for Palin, the GOP field announced so far is a bunch of losers.

[pissant]

No one, including Palin, has announced anything.

"If not Sarah, then who?"

I honestly have no idea at this point. I agree with your assessment of the other talked about candidates as well.

Obama has bowed to every enemy we have.
What foreign advisors does 0bama have in his nest of traitors?

[pissant]

Read my first post a bit more carefully

[mrsmith]

.
“Orion directly represents Georgia and Taiwan, and has been retained by Montenegro “

LOL!

So what?

McCain was pretty well informed in foreign affairs.

[ez]

I’m gonna vote for Sarah cause she’s hot...

[chicken head]

He won't have to worry about that, because there's no way in hell she will win a presidential election. She's barely more qualified than Hussein was, and she doesn't have the national media/White guilt behind her the way he did. Her candidacy will assure a 2nd term for 0bama. She's probably the only republican that he could beat in a straight up race.

Who do I listen to, KoRn or Rush and Mark Levin, hmmmmm.

This is a real hard one!

Well, I haven’t given a nickel to SarahPac. If she feels the need to blow $100K on foreign policy advise from McCain’s buds, more power to her.
