I don't like much of what President Bush is doing, but that is not an excuse to abandon the Republican Party. Learn from the wisdom of the Great Man. When Reagan was offered the chance to go third party and run for President in the 70's, he refused the opportunity. Rather, he worked from within.
Similarly, the Republican Party needs to be renewed from within. That means working the primaries hard - developing a conservative caucus which will take the battle to the RINOs.

Yeah, that is still the only answer.
If one or more of three lines are crossed that will change, though: 1) If pro-life is removed from the platform. 2) If the presidential nominee is not solidly pro-life. 3) If the vice-presidential nominee is not solidly pro-life.
If any of those three are violated, 'turn out the lights, the party's over'.
There are other things that can take the GOP down too...they'll just take longer.
