How rational of you.
I like to think so. My sole hope for the immediate future is that Ted Nugent actually endorsed Mittens, so he must have gotten good feedback from them on the 2nd Amendment.
I'm also torn on leaving the Republican Party. I'm reminded of one of my favorite philosophers: Robert A. Heinlein, when he commented in his seminal work The Notebooks Of Lazarus Long, to wit:
"Of course the game is rigged! But if you don't play you'll never stand a chance of winning."
If folks like me leave the GOP, then we give it over to the moderate/RINOs forever.
