What social issues was he moderate on? Smiley

I think he was pro-choice. 

Interstingly, Ford, after losing the election, came out in favor of statehood for Puerto Rico.

He appointed Nelson Rockefeller as VP; that act enraged the GOP right.

He also supported "detente" or "peace through strength" with the Soviets.

He should have had Devo sing "Whip it!" in the background! That would have completed the WWF style BS!!

"Whip It" wasn't written yet.  It came up in 1979-81.

Some of Ford's personel decisions have shown to be exceptional, including chief of staff Dick Cheney and then Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.  He really attracted some talented administrators.
