/p> p> After reading this column by Mr. Stein, I felt so sorry for him! He experienced the kindness of a Republican and therefore believes all Republicans are kind and have no hate in their hearts. He believes Republicans are all meek, mild storekeepers who love their world and pinch their pennies. Karl Rove knew exactly how to handle this kind hearted little fellow. He researches everything and everyone thoroughly and Mr. Stein is no exception. Poor Mr. Stein lives in a little world of tunnel vision and seems frightened of the real world. br> -- Loretta Riley /p>

I was the editor of a documentary on Karl Rove and I could not agree more with Mr. Stein. If you would be so kind as to forward my thanks to Mr. Stein, and to share this URL with him. I would be very interested in his opinion of the program; which can now be seen online.

The documentary suffered in nuance when it was cut down to sixty minutes, but I am still proud of it. Karl is a political genius in the same way Peter Lynch is genius to investments.

As one of the few (if only) Reagan Republicans at FRONTLINE, I work hard not to let the program fall to the left -- a natural if somewhat ignored tendency of some of the programs.

My Heavens, this is disappointing. Mr. Stein has written some of the most thought provoking articles I've read in the last several years. This was not worthy. I'm glad Mr. Rove is a Republican. I'm glad he's a good person. But there are modest, hard-working, self-effacing Democrats out there too...I met one once in 1994.

p>Political parties are formed and maintained for the advancement of IDEAS. The national Republican leadership has cynically betrayed the ideals of those small business owners, entrepreneurs, and self-reliant workers that Mr. Stein nostalgically refers to in his piece. So many opportunities squandered in the last five years. Mr. Stein's economic speeches, quaint intimate dinners with the Rove family, and wistful columns not withstanding, I for one am no longer a Republican because these good people in power behave as if
