Barry Goldwater?

As for the rest on that list that are not actually RINOs, it’s not the individual but the party. The backstabbing and cold-shouldering by the GOP-e is on the record quite a bit. (You forgot about Steve Lonegan, BTW.)

Think about 2010 once more. How were the GOP more liberal than in 2012, or were they? What helped them push out the Dems from the House?

Tea Party enthusiasm in 2010 was off the charts high.
Big Banks were in huge trouble. Obamacare had just passed
in the middle of night without a single republican vote in congress.

Like I said I hope I am wrong and you are right about 2014.
But the entrenched power of Dept of Justice under Holder worries me. President Zero has much deeper tentacles including IRS, EPA, all the hundreds of judges he has appointed since 2010, unpopular Iraq war if done, Afghan war is winding down, Osama has been killed etc etc.

Again, if republicans do no unite, including the GOPe, then do not be shocked if DemoRats hold the senate in 2014.
