Hello All:

TR was probably the most liberal Republican president of the 20th century and Nixon does come in a close 2nd but, we can't forget about Eisenhower because he supported and signed the legislation that created the interstate highway system.  

Here's an interesting thought, what if Nelson Rockefeller got the nod and won the presidency in the 1970s?  He was Vice-President under Ford and one of the most liberal Republican governors that the state of NY has ever had.  

Here are some of his accomplishments:

Signing a gas-tax increase that paid for the construction of NY highway network.

Creating the SUNY (State University of NY educational system)

A number of state public works programs and signing the legislation for the construction of the World Trade Center.

Think what Nelson would have done if he got elected.

Later,
