Least right-wing Republican President since WWII?

W

W is the most right-wing social president we've ever had so far. Not in the fiscal sense though.


For the most least right wing Republican president, Richard Nixon. Affirmative action, price controls, creation of the EPA, China, and busing. Teddy Roosevelt is the most all time historical.

Oh yes, W is the most Social Conservative--No Child Left Behind, Stem Cell Research, Patriot Act, his immigration reform attempt, and the proscription drug benefit...W was rather moderate in all sense of the term.

I didn't say everything Bush did was social conservative. And the Patriot Act is neither a issue of left or right but a issue of authoritarian and libertarian. NCLB was bipartisan that gets hate from both sides of the issue.

He did spend lot. In fact, Bush is a moderate conservative.

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.

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

Okay.. In what sense do you mean?

Social issues from the Bachmann's/Santorum's  of the world.

There hasn't been 41 U.S. Presidents named Bush.

He obvious meant George Herbert Walker Bush.
