And where was today's Republican congressional leadership when all those big spending votes were being taken? In the leadership ranks, just a rung below the leaders of that era.

SSDD in spades.

Would they have wanted him to veto bills passed by the Republicans in Congress during the period when they had majorities in both houses?

Yes, many would have wanted that. Republicans lost control of Congress in 2006 for many reasons but one was the lack of support for Republican congressmen from the Republican base - a lack of enthusiasm for the incumbents that were, according to some, "acting like Democrats."
