What I'd like to know is, are there any of these so called conservatives that aren't going to vote to teach the GOP a lesson, here on FR???

Yes, there are a few, but I'll let them out themselves rather than naming them. They're idealists rather than realists, and are resisting acknowledging the real result of letting Democrats win.

I used to be one of them (back in the early 90s), but have learned my lesson. Vote the RINOs out in the primaries, but in the general election vote for any Republican rather than any Democrat.

I can understand both the idealist and realist viewpoints, but when it comes to this, the idealist mindset has NO PLACE being put into practice. I liken it to there being a retail item that you want, and it is in a store for $100.00, but you feel outraged because you saw it in another store for $55, but it was sold out. So you complain at that store and they say they're sorry, but they're selling it for $100.00 and you really want and need it. Just because it sells for much less in another store, but is sold out there, doesn't matter! It might as well be free for all the price matters if there are none to be had. IF it's important to the person, and if they REALLY need it, they'll shell out the $100 and be glad to have the item even if it cost a little more. REAL conservatives will vote Republican next month. Just because the GOP isn't as conservative as we'd ALL like it to be, is a STUPID reason not to vote for the GOP that is about 80% or more what we want it to be. That's 80% better then the ZERO% conservative values we'd get from the Democrat majorty in Congress. It's just that simple. Conservatives who won't vote in November are NOT real conservatives. They're gutless wonder mouth pieces with big talk and no walk. Period.
