I find it unlikely that his social leanings did not influence his decisionmaking on political issues. He merely refrained from expresing them publicly.
Then by all means point out his votes that support your opinion. Indeed he spoke out critically against New Deal policies- and as I said he had a very aggressive foreign policy with regards to communism.
Being against Communism does not exclude support for Socialism.
He was against domestic social policies and an anti communist. Communism is merely a step sister to socialism- There is no way he was a fiscal liberal-none.
Now, show me a vote he made that supports your opinion, that he was influenced by his socially liberal opinions prior to statements he made as a man 80 years old man.
