In fact, as a whole, things have been better this year -- with divided government -- than with Republicans in charge and expanding government, spending money and pushing for amnesty for illegals.
Fear of liberals isn't a good reason to elect RINOs.
Defeat the RINOs in the primary. If the RINO wins the primary, you then are left with the choice of the lesser of two evils in that election, and you can't change that until the next primary.
We know that isn't true so long as Republicans have either the White House or 40 votes in the Senate.
That is true as long as there are 40 Republicans that are conservative on that particular topic. There are a lot of RINOs in the Senate and few true conservatives, so while they may block some extremely bad and unpopular legislation, don't expect government to be growing slower with the Democrats in the majority. We are going to be hearing a lot about compromise legislation that is needed to "move things forward and break the impasse".

How have things been better? The Senate passed a amnesty bill last year, but it had no hope of passing the house, and was withdrawn. This year enough Republicans banded together to make a symbolic effort to stop it from passing in the Senate rather than making a symbolic vote to pass a bill that was DOA in the House like the last one.
The democrats control Congress' agenda. They control what bills come up for votes when. There is now no hope of getting conservative judges confirmed. With a Republican majority they could have forced through more than they did if they would have had good leadership, but even in their failure they did get some confirmed. Now they won't get any.
Republicans are barely fending off extremely bad labor laws. Congress is working at pushing a Global Warming agenda through piecemeal. Please explain to me in what ways you think things are actually better now.
