I guess you still don’t agree with your own opinion. You thought Stivers was a RINO a year ago...so you must like what Stivers has done in office since Jan 2011
In Jan he joined the liberal Tuesday Group and Republican Main Street Partnership(funded by Soros). http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2663144/posts
In Feb from the American Conservative Union http://www.conservative.org/a-final-vote-but-when/8712/
•Freshman Jeff Duncan of South Carolina tried to save $324 million in taxpayer funds from the Legal Services Corporation, a fight that goes back to the Reagan Administration. The LSC works with groups like ACORN to encourage lawsuits paid for by the taxpayer. The amendment was defeated with the help of 68 Republicans, including newcomers Mo Brooks, Randy Crawford, Bob Dold, Blake Farenthold, Chuck Fleischmann, Bob Gibson, Tim Griffin, Morgan Griffith, Michael Grimm, Frank Guinta, Richard Hanna, Vicki Hartzler, Joe Heck, Jamie Herrera, Adam Kinsinger, Pat Meehan, Alan Nunnelee, Tom Reed, David Rivera and Steve Stivers. Look for these names to show up on other crucial spending votes.
•The bill eliminates the longtime boondoggle known as the Weatherization Assistance Program which puts the federal government in charge of sealing up the air leaks in your house. This program was given tons of extra money by the failed stimulus. New York Democrat Paul Tonko narrowly failed to take this provision out of the bill and restore the program when 23 Republicans voted with him. They included Freshmen Lou Barletta, Rick Berg, Bob Gibson, Morgan Griffith, Richard Hanna, Andy Harris, Bill Huizenga, Pat Meehan, Tom Reed and Steve Stivers (see a pattern here?)

While we may have 4 of the most conservative members in the U.S. House, it appears one of the freshmen Congressman from OH is already forgetting why he was sent to D.C.!
OH Freshman Congressman Steve Stivers (OH-15), in siding with the GOP establishment and helping the Democrats, was one of 95 GOP House members to turn a deaf ear on the voices that elected him to cut spending and voted AGAINST an RSC Amendment that would have made an additional $22 Billion in cuts in the Continung Resolution. Because this amendment failed the GOP led House did not meet their pledged cuts of $100 Billion.
Please contact Rep. Steve Stivers and remind him of “why” he was elected to his first term in Congress —
By the end of Feb the Heritage Foundation already hated him.

Heritage gave poor marks to {snip}...In addition, the think tank cited six freshman Congressmen: Reps. Charles Bass (R-N.H.), Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), Robert Dold (R-Ill.), Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio) and Pat Meehan (R-Pa.)
In March 2011 the GOP(Stivers-yes) votes to expand Obamacare, then lies to the country that they are defunding it. http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/03/look-who-voted-to-expand-obamacare-on-030910/
Then he got a contribution from Mitt Romney’s PAC - http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0311/51011.html
In April when he caved on a government shutdown for $38.5 Billion in cuts.

In July he continued to cave...House GOP Centrists Hushed but Not Silent in Debt Debate http://public.cq.com/docs/news/news-000003910196.html
“We should not default under any circumstances,” said Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, co-chairman of the 49-member Tuesday Group, a coalition of Republican centrists. Dent said he gave that message to Boehner, R-Ohio, in a July 12 meeting.
New Jersey Republican Rodney Freylinghuysen, an appropriator, has made a similar case to other senior Republicans. “It would be inconceivable, if we didn’t do it,” he said.
Other Tuesday Group lawmakers, including freshmen Steve Stivers of Ohio and Michael G. Grimm of New York, said much the same during July 13 meetings with Boehner.
Then he voted for the Boehner bill http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2755973/posts?page=127#127
7/07/2011 H.AMDT.563 voted for Barny Franks Military funding cut ammendment
7/14/2011 H.AMDT.642 voted against cutting Dept of Energy funding
7/15/2011 H.AMDT.683 voted against cutting federal spending on energy conservation websites
http://issues2000.org/OH/Steve_Stivers.htm calls him a moderate conservative
It looks like a RINO to me.
May I remind you?
I have not hear of Stivers, and I doubt many in OH know of his perfidy, or was he liberal all along?
