1. Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R.I.) Once approached by Democratic Leader Harry Reid to switch parties, Chafee has long supported liberal policies. He backs legal abortion, gay rights, federal-funded health care, strict environmental protections and a higher minimum wage. Opposes ANWR drilling. Also was the only Republican in Congress not to endorse the President's reelection and one of three who tried to gut Bush's tax cuts.
2. Sen. Olympia Snowe (Maine) A self-described "centrist," Snowe scored a 100% pro-choice voting record as scored by NARAL and consistently votes with Democrats on social issues.
3. Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) "Snarlin' Arlen" warned Bush not to nominate judges who might overturn Roe v. Wade, joined Chaffee reducing tax cuts and supported Democrats on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, HMO and overtime regulation. Also opposed school choice in Washington, D.C.
4. Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) Voted with liberals on the 1999 tax cut, campaign finance reform and the partial-birth abortion ban. Also advocated "pay-as-you-go" tax cuts with spending increases in 2004, leading to a budget never agreed upon between the House and Senate.
5. Rep. Christopher Shays (Conn.) He led the House fight for McCain-Feingold campaign finance "reform." He's also prone to back environmental causes, gun control and abortion rights. He had no GOP challenger in 2004, but narrowly escaped defeat, 52% to 48%, by a Democratic opponent in the general election.
6. Gov. George Pataki (N.Y.) Helped unions raise pay and unionize Indian casinos. Has said, "I believe in a limited government, low taxes, a tough approach to crime. ... But I also believe in an activist government. I'm not one of those laissez-faire types."
7. Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (N.Y.) Over the course of his 23-year career, he's gained considerable power (chairman of the Science Committee), despite amassing one of the most liberal voting records of any House Republican. Fought back conservative challengers in 2000 and 2002 and could face a GOP challenge in '06.
8. Gov. Mitt Romney (Mass.) Has said, "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country." Supports civil unions and stringent gun laws. After visiting Houston, he criticized the city's aesthetics, saying, "This is what happens when you don't have zoning."
9. Rep. Michael Castle (Del.) As president of the moderate Republican Main Street Partnership and key player in the so-called Tuesday Group lunches, he is a ring-leader of RINOs. He's teamed with Democrats to make federal funding of embryonic stem cell research one of his top priorities.
10. Rep. Jim Leach (Iowa) One of only six House Republicans to vote against the Iraq War resolution in 2002, he was also the only Republican to vote against President Bush's 2003 tax cuts. His support for environmental causes and abortion rights has won him liberal fans.

I was surpised at Gov. Mitt Romney.
All this means is the conservatives are ripping the GOP apart.
When will the CONV start their own PARTY !!!!!!
RINO though he is, Shays did earn a couple of points in my book last week with his slam of Ted Kennedy.
Thanks George you RINO POS.
The time to hunt RINOs is during primary season.
The Republican party, unfortunately, gives them lot$ of cover.
9 out of ten left wing liberal republicans from the northeast - what a surprise. Just proves that corner of the country doesn't belong in the USA any more. Give 'em to Quebec.
My crappy senator has to be number eleven!
Hagal
Nothing wrong with this. Good quote and very accurate.
oops....Hagal=Hagel
Yeah but you come from the home of POS Dems Jimmy Carter and....Cynthia McKinney. So look a little closer to home, OK Hoss?
Where's John S. McShame (RINO-Media)? How about Rudy Guilliani, whose only claims to conservatism are his tough-on-crime and tough-on-terrorist stands? Toss in his successor, Michael Bloomberg, who has no claim to conservatism.
And how much "R"NC/"R"SCC/White House capital has gone to the primary re-election bids of #1 and #3 on this list?
Shays and Romney are definitely RINOs. But not in the top ten. Shays has had some redeeming actions, including some of his committee work. And Romney is Romney because Romney is in Massachussetts.
John McCain is definitely in the top ten. Also, Nancy Johnson (House of Reps - CT) belongs on the list (only GOPer to vote against the Born Alive act)
Lincoln Chaffee is a communist. Susan Collins is an anti-social Conservative, as is snarlin' Arlen. Nevertheless, both were instrumental in confirming the President's USSC nominees.
Mitt Romney is probably the most conservative electable Presidential candidate.
I sometimes wonder if our social conservative brothers and sisters here realize that their unqualified endorsement is the kiss of death in 3/4 of the country.
He shouldn't be there... replace him with McCain. This list is flawed.
