Best Leftist: Hmm, I'll leave this one open, I think a good portion of them have a great sense of perspective, which also isn't fair because I am a leftist. Possibly Pure Metal

Eutrusca pretends to be a moderate but is actually one of the most conservative (in its real meaning) poster that we have (He is currently on a two week enforced rest from posting).

Liberal (Classic): Vittos Ordination/Santa Barbara + many others

In Portland, all the pot is home-grown right in the city. Peak freshness and stone, with the best tastes and lowest prices on bongs and things around. The Oregon weed most people smoke is Guerilla grown up in the Mountains, but in Portland, it's all home-grown.

I think a true moderate would be hard to find on a forum like this. First, there is the 'with us against us' attitude of the 'right in charge' that strives to make them look like the normal right and hopes to paint everything to the left of them as 'extreme.' That has muddied the center.
Next, conditions have come to the point where the fence is no longer a place anyone can really sit. The climate is forcing people to chose sides. Look at Jon Stewart-under any other circumstance he would be a moderate, a centrist. But he dares question King George so he's a crazy lefty. (Never mind that he spends almost as much time picking on the left. Not as much, but they're not in charge, there simply aren't as many opportunities.)
Lastly, a sight to debate politics is not as likely to attract moderates as it is to attract people who've got a horse in the race. Moderates will come here, but not as likely to make attention grabing posts. Rather they may poke and prod at a subject to get as much information as they can, almost allowing them to go unnoticed.

He was/is very conservative on all kinds of issues. He likes to present himself as being centrist, but when challenged or pressured he reverts to conservative traditional values. He is not a neocon, but he is definately right of centre in his actual beliefs.

What good would that do? An extremist with a sense of perspective? Hah!
No I mean like this:
Most extreme conservative
Most extreme liberal
Most extreme liberatarian
etc.

The problem is, it's only his stash, no one else gets to smoke it.
Pff. If he ain't gonna kick down them I'm not worrying about being naughty or nice...
I'll give this to Portland-while we where having this back and forth I flipped to PBS and History's Detectives was trying to verify if this chick's dad really did get Bird's* sax from a pawn shop in Portland. They concluded that in fact he did.
*Charlie Parker, if for some godawful reason you don't know. I can't imagine that's the case, but you never know.

That's too subjective. For instance, I am more extreme than Potaria, (Potaria isn't a revolutionary) despite his higher to the left score.

Hey all, what are your opinions of the best candidates. It can be people who have been said already, but at least share your opinions.
Dude, he and his reindeer fucking fly! Their weed is so good they defy physics! Plus, Santa is always laughing, jolly, and he has a great time making the whole world a better place.
Santa must have awesome weed.
The whole "flying reindeer" thing comes from the fact that Siberian reindeer are known to dig up and eat Fly Agaric mushrooms which have a extremely potent hallucinogenic effect (though the effect varies based on the maturity, temperature, ageing, etc, of the mushroom.) This is also the mushroom that is thought to be responsible for the Norse Berserkers and everything that entails. :D

Cool, but Santa sure as hell smokes.
BTW, what's your opinion on the NSer with the best perspective?

Funny how half of the people are talking about a fictional character's marijuana on a perspective thread.
You're kidding me, right?
Just because I don't hang around the political threads all the time doesn't mean I don't have very clear, concise views. Ask anyone who's had an MSN chat session with me.

Pot sometimes does that to a thread. I just wish it wasn't this one
But anyhow, opinions! Who actually admits they are wrong? Who accepts the other side's arguments if they are good? Who abstains from petty name-calling and insults?

Alright, it looks as though so far:
Whispering Legs is so far the conservative with the best sense of perspective
Eutrusca is the best moderate, though disputes regarding whether or not he is actually moderate are putting Niccolo Medici into a close second
Best liberal is still being contended
Best libertarian is Swimmingpool
Best Rightist/Nazi is VoteEarly
Best Leftist is The Cat-Tribe
Keep voting! Remember, voting is on the merits of best sense of perspective. That means most honest with themselves, most likely to admit fault, most likely to admit that certain political leaders do something right at least, and most likely to affirm the logic of an opposing ideological member.

Oh! That guy who used to run the White Aryan Resistance? I thought he was a communist now?!?
I have to put in my extreme objection to two of the people on the list.
Eutrusca - Is NOT a moderate. He flames people a lot. You might want to say he's a conservative, but there is nothing moderate about him and as for being grounded, grounded people don't get tons of warnings and 2 forum bans. So, I think he should really not be considered.
Corneliu - Not grounded at all. Seems to have a good grasp of some history, but he is often wrong and will refuse to admit it. He also flames people quite a bit. I just don't think he should be up there for the simple fact that his information is often wrong and he does flame people.
Ok, that's my $0.02.

Same names always show up on these kinds of threads, these kinds of threads are always mainly about popularity, these kinds of threads are always tiresome displays of mutual brown nosing that serve no end purpose but to bolster the egoes of the local forum demagogues. And trust me they don't need bolstering.
I'm happy to represent the Christian Socialists or Theocrats. GOD bless!

But you haven't seen my sunglasses!
EDIT: SF>Portland. Sorry buddy.
You are soooo wrong about that, my friend. I got to this post as I was reading the thread, and I had to respond. Let me tell you, I've lived in bothe SF and Portland (though I live in Friday Harbor WA now). Portland and SF are a lot alike in many ways, but with the biggest differance being that Portland is cheaper to live in, and has the best bars on Earth, thanks to the McMeneman brothers.
As for my votes. I haven't been around long enough to really get a sense of most of the players, but I would have to agree with the earlier mentions of Neo-Rogolia and Corneliu. The others not not so sure of.
Edit: Goddamnit! I hate it when I don't catch my own typos! Sorry for the bad english. If you know proper punctuation and spelling, you know what I'm talking about... Capitolization, however, I give a pass on... most of the time

Sorry, but I think Corneliu's a little loopy. The most sensible and coherent conservative has got to be Whispering Legs.
And Cat-Tribe is the god of the left.

I don't know man, I've smoked Oregon pot and I've smoked NorCal pot-they're both pretty good, but the best of the best is still the NorCal weed.
damn yous all with your choices... round here you generally just get "weed" of any sort, from anywhere (bit of a gamble really) unless you know a really good dealer or can grow your own/buy homegrown
ah well... Amsterdam in a week! :D :D
anyways my choices
Best Conservative: Whispering Legs
Best Moderate: Eutrusca (has to be in here somewhere, "moderate" or not)
Best Liberal: Alien Born (depending on your definition of "liberal"... hey, this is subjective after all ;))
Best Libertarian: Swimmingpool
Best Nazi: pass
Best Leftist: Ariddia

I agree on Whispering Legs. Always prepared and well informed.
As far as the left- I dont know. I cant keep track of all of them. I do agree that Cat-Tribe is both knowledgable and well prepared when he makes a statement. I dont always agree with his stance on issues, but he does come prepared, so I never dismiss him. He has enlightened me on a few issues.
Many of the rest are too hysterical for me to pay any attention to.
So yeah-Cat-Tribe for the Left.
