Least right-wing Republican President since WWII?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Obama is more conservative than Ike.

Obama likes Ike's liberal Supreme Court appointments a lot more than Ike did.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Bush appears moderate compared to Perry/Bachmann. Then again, Mussolini was moderate compared to Hitler.

So, given the results of this poll (by a 3 to 1 margin), how is Nixon more liberal than Gerald Ford?

Nixon established the EPA, OSHA, price controls, modern affirmative action ("benign neglect"), etc. and of course gave us the Gold Shock and his famous healthcare proposal. Not to say Ford didn't expand the federal government.. But he clearly wasn't nearly as aggressive as Nixon about it, and he did pass some tax cuts.

I sincerely doubt that Ford would not have done what Nixon did if he had the chance.  He did only serve two years, after all -the last half of Nixon's second term.

You can expand the government and still be right-wing you know.

Nixon was perhaps the most reactionary president, well, along with Bush the younger. Gerald Ford though is only of these that wouldn´t fit comfortably in the current GOP (but probably would sit in it regardless).
