A18 - Has much knowledge, but the wisdom that one needs to use the knowledge isn't all there yet; Age and maturity should sort that out. Biggest flaw? Originalism. Most like? Hard hitting wit.
Senator Al - Lots of electoral/demographic knowledge, probably more than anybody I will ever meet. Whilst not too partisan in US terms, is very partisan in UK terms, but he never lets it cloud his judgement. Biggest flaw? Too quick to say judicial activism. Most like? Go to guy.
StatesRights - Whilst most people seem to like him in querky ways, I'll be quite honest and say that I hate him, though he is probably a responsible family man. Biggest flaw? Homophobe/Confederate. Most like? hmmm, consistency?
Boss Tweed - I do admire his Machiavellianism to a degree, but you can't flaunt it like he does and expect not to get stabbed in the back after a little while. However, age is on his side still, so he should come out alright. Biggest flaw? see above. Most like? Posting style is kinda rugged, which is a bit of a turn-on.
Lewis Trondhiem - Good guy on the whole, but he is an unabashed socialist, so what do you expect me to say? Like Al, has a lot of electoral knowledge, though I often wonder what exactly he does with his life given that he's like 28 and seems to be on here a lot. Biggest flaw? I give up doing these things up at the end, its too hard trying to single things out.
Keystone Phil - Whilst politically very knowledgable, he can be can behave like an attack dog very well, and often will cut your hand off when you ask a question and he gets the wrong end of it.
opebo - HAHA. Where to start; He's clearly making all of it up, which actually makes it even more funny when people go "Is he for real?"
Gabu - Lacking in any actual positions; Whilst listening to all sides is admirable, some circumstances require utter decisiveness and ruthlessness, qualities which I'm afraid I think he lacks.
Gustaf - Used to talk to him a lot on MSN, I get the impression that his girlfriend keeps him occupied a lot these days. Nice guy, though I remember few of his actual positions.
Jake - Like Opebo, he's clearly making half of it up. I often wonder if IRL he isn't too far from me politically as I just occassionally am able to pickup the vibes of his true positions. He has the added bonus of being quite good looking. We should meet up
.
BRTD - Obsessed with strip clubs and sex and communist guerillas and etc. His continued posting on these topics after being asked countless times not to, qualifies as trolling IMO.
jfern - the very definition of a partisan hack. He can be quite nice to those on his side however. If he used the arguments of his party's intellectuals more, he would actually gain a lot more credibility.
Supersoulty - I'm not too keen on Supersoulty: He has always struck me as always having something to whine about, though perhaps life really has dealt to him rawly. Who knows. He's come up with some genuinely bizarre ideas at times, and every so often one or two actually work, which is even more bizarre.
King - Often types without engaging his brain first of all, which has earnt him the moniker of being an assclown from myself. Politically we aren't too dissimilar
hughento - A member of the brotherhood, but one I am often wanting to disown because his fiercely nationalistic attitude can be highly abrasive sometimes.
Alcon - Nice guy and surprisingly tolerant of my occassional rants on AIM. I also quite like his cat named Stubbs, who I am hoping to adopt.
PBrunsel - Ever the model of a gentleman, and for that he does deserve some respect, because keeping a head that is almost always that level is not easy. Whilst he is quite consistent in his views, he is open to persuasion when you catch him in the right mood.
dazzleman - He is a reasonable poster, though I have little contact with him; However, I sometimes find he is too quick to fall back on "textbook" conservatism rather than feel his own way.
John Dibble - He's a libertarian and has that smoking/fascism sig thing going on. Sorry Dibble, thats about all I know about you.
Akno21 - Personally I like Akno, even after everything that happened in fantasy. He's a good operator and get things done, though I suspect his primary motivation is partisan. Will go far, though for some reason, I suspect it won't be in politics.
John Ford - Lots of foreign policy knowledge, and for the most part has the wisdom to use it well. A bit too quick to sacrifice liberty for security IMO, but on the whole lots of thoughtful positions as opposed to textbook positions.
Sam Spade - I get the feeling he's a closeted homophobe, and very ashamed that he is one, which is quite odd to say the least. Country above party almost always, and more interested in a party of government than one of ideological folly, which is commendable.
Joe Republic - One of my closest allies on the forum ever since his arrival back in January. I trust his judgement even though sometimes his positions seems slightly inconsistent to me. Hopefully he stays the course in fantasy and is able to get at least some reform done.
JFK - fellow Brit and we have very similar backgrounds I believe. Always good for a laugh or a chat. Hopefully we can meet for real at some point.
ilikeverin - Very happy poster. Needs to post more substance since when he does try to make serious, substantive points, he often gets ignored, which is sad.
Emsworth - There was a day you couldn't put an ideological hair between us. To borrow from Star Wars: The boy I trained, gone he is. Consumed by Blue Emsworth. I have failed you. I have failed you.
Ebowed - Amusing, if incredibly lacking in actual morals beyond his pro-life positions. Has a highly addictive personality which causes him to get too wrapped up in things; Hopefully he is able to get over that to a degree and know when to let go.
Bono - Paranoid hatred of the state, and likes to find lots of articles about it to. The reason I blocked you was because your continual posting of articles and/or philosophy that I despised studying as a student of it became painful. I didn't have it in me to ask/tell you to stop, which is actually quite cowardly of me. Oh well.
Harry - I destroyed him only twice in fantasy politics, but every so often he would go off on a rant about one of those times and cause those events to destroy him again, which I personally found quite bizarre, if amusing. Needs to learn to let go.
KEmperor - He is a very coy schemer, which means you have to be very careful with him at all times. Nonetheless, his ability to wind Naso and Phil up in TS is the stuff of legend.
angus - Sorry, I know nothing about you angus. I think you have a child.
MODU - The conservative leaning independent who gets Miss Roman Catholic's back up. I don't know much about him, but he seems to be a reasonable poster
