I briefly visited one of the other threads on Freepers with people slamming people like us who care about Terri. The callous disregard is mindboggling.
All I can think is that great evil is clouding the minds of some people. Not to mention that most Americans have never even missed a miss in their entire life....and totally lack "normal" empathy.
It's best to "stay in" the GOP and vote in the primaries. Then if a bad choice is on the general election ballot, sit out that particular contest. If you vacate your access to the party primary, you reduce your options. You just need to start skipping certain races on the ballot to get the GOP's attention. I can actually see a possibility, however, where there is no Republican nominee for President who will be acceptable in 2008.
