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.

$60K down the drain in six months for a McCainiac's advise. Any wonder she's still pimping amnesty? She could have got that for free by logging onto McCain's re-election website.
Yawn.
“Palin adviser worked for foreign governments”
Who advised Obama on American policies?
Another worthless PEE PEE BOY post....
Pretty Puppet Palin is a NeoCon stooge.
Well, it’s better than working hand-in-glove with Mark Hosenball.
Will you be moving to Canada when she’s elected?
Figures you would post this. Moving on.....
Well there you go again pissant.
Where did you hear that Palin is pushing for amnesty?
From the vacant lot between his ears...
Her lips
In my book Palin can do no evil. All is forgiven ... now, where do I go to cast my ballot for her?
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.
Baraq 0bama works for 3 foreign governments.
Kenya, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia
Ever get the feeling, he’s Megan McCain in DRAG?
God Almighty, Scheunemann’s “foreign” work is for the “Republic of GEORGIA”!
BTW, McCain’s foreign policy is one of his STRONG POINTS.
DAMN, YOU ARE CLUELESS.
