Sarah Palin's political action committee paid $10,000 in October to a consulting firm that also works for George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist who is a left-wing bogeyman to many of Palin's supporters.

Salon first http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/11/12/orion_soros_palin">reported earlier this month that Palin foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann has for many years done lobbying work for Soros' Open Society Policy Center. Scheunemann's firm, Orion Strategies, received the $10,000 payment from Sarah PAC on Oct. 28 for "issue consulting," according to a new campaign finance filing.

(Read the whole filing, which also details how the PAC http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/45772.html">bought copies of Palin's book en masse, http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/fecimg/?C00458588">here.)

Palin has already faced http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/11/19/keyes_hits_palin_on_soros_ties">a bit of criticism from the right for her link to Soros. But as of late October, Orion was still working for the Open Society Policy Center, lobbying records show.

1. As Vito Corleone said: It's just business...

nothing personal.

2. It's becoming fairly obvious

There are the "Powers that Be" (D/R/L/R/etc) and their agenda is about using us as vehicles to gain power, wealth and provide them with the authority to direct us.

Our job as little Joey and Janie S. (for Serf) Schmuck (D / R) is to be suckered into the propaganda that they all put out that is intended to convince us to vote for them, thus willingly allowing them and their cronies to control our lives and take our public assets. As George Carlin said, it's a fucking club and you and I ain't in it.
