Favorite posters of Opposite Party/Ideology

[RFayette]

For other posters:  who are your favorite posters who have the opposite party and/or ideology to you and why?

For me:
-Skill and Chance (really good analysis of elections and does a nice job separating ideology from predictions)
-Mr. Illini (similar reasons to Skill and Chance)
-Hydera (great analysis of economic data and again, pretty even-handed about things)
-mencken (though he's a very nominal Democrat so I'm not sure if he counts, but he always has something interesting to say in his posts)
-Nathan/Madeline (boundless knowledge over many domains, and always very in-depth)
-Mung Beans/MormDem (I often mix up the two, but both are very good posters all-around)
-BRTD (appreciate his religious convictions, and he has some quirky but cool interests)

There are many others obviously, but those are the ones that come to mind right away.  

[TDAS04]

There are more, but the three that come to mind first:

Sunrise: He's conservative, but very pleasant.  I respect that he's not afraid to take some pretty unpopular foreign policy positions.

Tmthforu94:  Nice and has long been an active, productive poster on the forum and fantasy government.

Supersonic:  Haven't seen much of him recently, but while I often disagreed with him, his posts tended to be straightforward and easy to read.  He was certainly not a hack and he could be funny.

[Mr. Smith]

@rfayette:

Mung Beans: Chill warmonger that loves the O.C.

Me: Blunt, caustic, and hotheaded peace-nik with no love for the O.C. at all.

As for the topic on hand, I find the average Atlas Republican much easier to get along with than the average Atlas Democrat, so this is actually very tricky, but I will say rfayette is up there.

Leinad's probably the best libertarian though.

[RI]

My favorite libertarian-leaner is probably wormyguy. PiT was/is pretty good but doesn't post much anymore. Same with jbrase. It's pretty hard to choose, though.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

TG.

[OSR stands with Israel]

TDAS04, darthebearnc

[Clark Kent]

DemPGH and Blair are people I can work with.


Zioneer and 84285 aren't bad, either.

[Cassius]

There's a fair few, but if I had to pick, probably Crabcake, Mikardo and Tender Branson.

ugh...I knew I forgot someone. Evergreen is one of the best of the best.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Miles (ok, so he's a Paleocon at this point, so he probably doesn't count)
Evergreen (dirty Social Justice Warrior, but a cool one at that)
Madeleine (literally a saint)
SWE & TNF (Marxists unite!)
TDAS (all around nice guy, one of my favorites)
Crabcake (funniest poster ever)
Cranberry
SJoyce

[Figueira]

To name a few: Clark Kent/Superman, LibertarianRepublican, and Free Bird all seem like decent enough people.

And basically anybody who rebukes the Trump/Bobloblaw/Col. Roosevelt wing of the party, which is most people here.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

tmth, hagrid, and sanch are the first few that come to mind.

[Mr. Illini]

-Mr. Illini (similar reasons to Skill and Chance)

Thanks, my friend. I appreciate your insight as well, even in times of disagreement.

In addition to RFayette, muon is a clear choice for his insight into Illinois issues and just in general. Also King, even though he is a "RINO." RINO Tom as well. Goldwater too, among others.

[Leinad]

Hmmm...classifying myself as right-of-center for the purposes of simplicity...CrabCake, Truman, Griffin, evergreen, and Darth E-Bear NC all come to mind. Also Kalwejt, if he was still here.

It's tricky, I like most of you and can tolerate the rest. Hard to include people rarely or never active in Atlasia on my list, simply because I spend lots of time there so that group is fresher in my mind. The list is far from scientific.

[The Dowager Mod]

Sanchez.
Grumps.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Why are so many people honoring me? I've gone out of my way to be even more of a sh!tposter than usual recently .

Being liked by me isn't an honor, It's a curse, just ask Grumps.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

tmth, hagrid, and sanch are the first few that come to mind.

Thanks, but I don't really have an ideology anymore. I just believe in the reality of greed and trying our best to navigate those waters so that the littlefolk can at least eke out an existence.
