You could ask John McCain or Bush 41. They either stayed home, or they voted for the democrat. A lot of very rich republicans voted for Obama. They didnt help Bob Dole out. Some even voted for Perot.

The rich can wait out most presidents. Its just four years. Really bad presidents lose power in two. Clinton and Obama.

Some conservatives can be just as picky or petty as some Ron Paul voters.
