Summarize Previous Poster's Political Beliefs

[TJ in Oregon]

A moderate "New Left" style Australian Labor Party supporter. He's socially liberal down the list of normal political issues but not extending to fringe issues. For example, I doubt he'd be for legalizing heroin or removing bans on having sex in public or something out-there like that. On fiscal issues he's definitely left of center but not an extremist. He seems particular intent on increasing government involvement in the healthcare system. He's an upscale leftist; the quintessential "latte liberal".

I'm assuming Goldwater Republican is socially moderate, perhaps even liberal, and generally in favor of a smaller government approach to domestic issues. He is, however, not a libertarian in any real sense because his foreign policy views are probably closer to Rudy Giuliani's than Ron Paul's. I can't add much more detail to this vague framework since I haven't interacted with him all that much in issue-based discussion since he joined the forum.

[TJ in Oregon]

Social conservativism with a certain anti-establishment vein and distrusting of mainstream politics. He's fiscally conservative and anti-interventionist and his avatar color fits his views well.
