The last Republican President that actually had some sort of logic and rationality in his foreign policy, even if one disagreed with it. The last American President to also try to do something about Israel's runaway settlement constructions.

Looking at the smearing at Chuck Hagel now, Bush Sr. would be dismissed by his own party for being too compromising, too liberal, and a Nazi.

(I still maintain that for all the reasons people cite for him losing re-election, the fight over Clarence Thomas used up way too much political capital and I'm certain alot of women who voted for GOP in the 80s went (or went back?) to the Democrats in '92 and voted Bubba.)
