The mirror image would be an incumbent Republican Senator in a red state who opposed making Bush's tax cuts permanent, because his conscience told him that the consequent deficits are intolerable as public policy. And I think most of the Republican party would skewer him like a lamb on a spit without hesitation, just for bucking the party trend. They wouldn't be wringing their hands if he lost the primary to a more orthodox Republican candidate. Of course, I can't think of a senator or an issue where anyone has been remotely as defiant as Lieberman.
