Charley Reese the neo-nazi anti-semite
I wonder how much George $orea$$ pays this clymer to write these opeds.
He's right on this point regardless of his other views. The primaries are an unmitigated disaster. I watched those old time conventions and they certainly did a far better job than the farce we have today.
I wouldn't ban primary elections. I'd simply ban public financing of them. If the Republicans or the Democrats want to have a primary election, let them pay for it.
Funny, no rational discussion of the content of the ideas, only attacking the messenger.

I also hate the primaries. If GW doesn't win, I'm stuck with one of the worst possible alternatives. I would much prefer that GW run against Joe Lieberman. Here in NJ we never had any say in who the Dem candidate would be. I would still vote for GW, but if GW were to lose, Lieberman at least wouldn't be the disaster that Kerry would be.
Ya Hoo to that.
The article is irrational and so are your comments. Go Troll elsewhere.
Just reminding people of who old Charley is - a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli hate monger.
The best way to greatly reduce the influence of big money in American politics is to eliminate the primary elections.
My God, Kerry is going to be the nominee!
Choosing nominees in primary elections was invented as a reform to get away from those famous "smoke-filled backrooms."
My God, Kerry is going to be the nominee!
As often happens with reforms, the reform has produced a greater problem than the one it was intended to solve.
My God, Kerry is going to be the nominee!

A much better idea!
If the article is irrational, please point out how.
Maybe unprovable, goofy comments on conspiracies between financiers and columnists is irrational.

We're doomed, Kerry is going to be the nominee! And he picked a puppy to be his VP candidate.
Any rational comment on the ideas behind the article?
Charely Reese is an anti-war, Bush bashing jerkoff.
...our problem in the Middle East is our one-sided support for the terrible mistreatment of the Palestinians by the Israelis. That's it. It's not the conditions in the Arab world. It's not the Islamic fundamentalists. It's our own policy, stupid. --Charley Reese, July 3, 2004
LOL Precisely.
