    Wrong. But either way a great deal more qualified than you to decide what he's worth.

    But then, you're not the one backing your decisions with your own money. Are you?

    Yes I do. No-one else pays my way. (apart from the things that all of us, even you, get as part of living in this country, like roads, a mostly ok health system, stuff like that)
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    That was rather my point. How you spend your money is your business, why would you object to anyone else spending theirs on hiring an ex politician?

    So it should be obvious by now, to all who are reading this thread, that the TTPA, TTIP, and TISA is simply America's answer to BRICS.

    The only interests conflicted by people spending their own money are those of people who'd rather it was spent on them.

    Socialists. They can earn their own or go fuck themselves.

    Who are neither signatories of it, nor sanctioned by it. So it'd be a pretty shitty answer, but I guess you're good at those

    The main ones sure, but not the only ones. Ie, not all socialists are living in the red...

    Try putting one in next time.

    The only point I could see was the idea that the TPPA would somehow put BRICS on the back foot so as to keep US ahead of these growing economies, which, as I said, is a pretty shitty answer given they didn't sign it, nor are sanctioned by it.

    But perhaps you meant a 'different' point you'll now refuse to elaborate on
