p>Republican rulers have so lost touch with their base that they see it as the enemy. As proof, I offer the invective by Mr. Bush and liberal Republicans who call us names and attack us for questioning the Dubai port deal and for opposing amnesty for illegal aliens and public benefits for them. Mr. Bush and Congress simply do not care about the disintegration of this country, and another useless, tired statement about abortion or school busing will not change the sorry situation. Not only do Republican elites ignore us, they hold us in contempt. br> -- Caroline Miranda br> North Hollywood, California /p>

I believe many Democrats would happily subscribe to most, it not all, of your program. There may be an issue or two where more discussion would lead to a compromise that would really cement the deal.

p>I must chide you about the off-putting rhetoric at the end of your article. It detracts from the seriousness of the ideas you present. There are far too few conservative commentators who merit the respect of moderates in both parties and, even, thoughtful liberals. You are one of them, so please leave the name-calling to the Ann Coulters and Rush Limbaughs of the world. They have that base covered more than adequately. br> -- Mike Roush /p>

The idea that Lucy is going to let Charlie Brown kick another Contract with America football could be quite amusing provided that one does not see themselves as Charlie Brown and Lucy as McCain, Specter, or Frist.

p>When Charlie Brown tries to kick the football and Lucy pulls it away at the last moment, please notice that Charlie lands in an undignified position that makes it very hard to reach for his billfold. br> -- Danny L. Newton br> Cookeville, Tennessee
