Dwight Eisenhower was a liberal- - he borrowed billions of dollars to build a socialist (free) highway system across the USA, and lectured about the evils of large corporations.
Dan Evans, the Republican Governor of Washington State from 1965 to 1977 was a liberal- he founded the first State Department of Ecology in the USA, as well as an "alternative" State College, Evergreen, which is still scandalous to this day.
Various other famous republicans, from Mark Hatfield, to Jacob Javits, to Nelson Rockefeller, were liberals.
It has always been a pretty centrist part of the american political spectrum.
