We hear this big talk every election cycle, no one cares. A few hundred thousands folks vote 3rd party or write in every election cycle and they have no effect on anything.
The sad truth is that the more conservatives give up on the GOP, the faster it will move to the new center. That's what political party's do - especially in a 2 party system like ours. The culture is moving left, and the more conservatives give up the more the Republican party will began to mirror the "conservatives" in Europe. The "middle" is shifting (especially on social issues). The GOP's next course of action will probably be to cede many of the social issues and focus more on fiscal/economic concerns.

“the more conservatives give up on the GOP”
It’s crazy.
We’re a few members away from controlling the House and everyone wants to give up!
Example: most of this session Boehner went around pressuring members to support Reid’s bills.
But on the ‘fiscal cliff’ deal he’ll be pressuring members NOT to support Reid’s bill.
Conservatives are taking the Party over. The RINOs are losing.
Um ... hello? This "big talk" sure manifested itself in this last election. Romney lost. Do you think he would have gotten fewer votes if he had actually been a conservative?
See, the real America, of folks who should legitimately vote -- not counting illegal immigrant votes, bussed-to-the-poll votes, the dead votes, the harvested voters of liberals who would never vote otherwise, but real voters, those of us who would take the trouble to register and then haul our butts to the polls and vote -- MOST OF US are sick of liberals, the biased media, and Obama.
If the Republican candidate had actually been a conservative, he might have won even in spite of massive vote fraud, which has been distorting and deforming election outcomes for decades. But Romney was a joke. America knew it.
Your country is in better shape than you think.
