I wonder if Brian "The Coward" Greenspun, editor and destroyer of the Las Vegas Sun really thinks he is that intelligent and his readers, mostly liberals, are that stupid. Obviously, Brian "The Coward" Greenspun thinks his readers are some of the most stupist people on the face of the earth.
Today's editorial illustrates this point: In the House of Representatives, there is considerable dissension over raising the debt ceiling among Republicans. After walking away from negotiations with the White House, House Speaker John Boehner has offered a plan that would temporarily raise the debt ceiling so the nation doesn’t default on its bills.
President Barack Obama and the Democrats oppose it, but as we have noted before, Boehner is pushing it as a way to try to make them look bad. But it is backfiring. Republicans are attacking each other over the plan, and Boehner can’t get enough support in his own caucus....
Things in Washington have stopped as the Republicans have behaved like a toddler throwing a tantrum. By tying their extremist views to the debt ceiling, the Republican hard-liners are holding the nation’s economy hostage. They have refused to negotiate and that only pushes the nation closer to the Aug. 2 default deadline.
This is no way to run the greatest country on Earth,” Obama said in his speech Monday night. “It’s a dangerous game that we’ve never played before, and we can’t afford to play it now.”
Although there have been political fights over the debt ceiling in the past, things have been worked out with less vitriol than now exists in Washington. Both parties have seen the need to raise the amount of debt the federal government can carry. In the past four decades, the debt limit has been increased nearly 60 times. Republican icon Ronald Reagan increased the debt limit 18 times, and George W. Bush increased it seven times.
Republicans in Congress should quit playing games, and do the right thing by increasing the debt limit.

Apparently The Coward Greenspun has not been watching the news in Washinton D.C. The Democrats have put forth no plans whatsoever regarding the debt ceiling supposed crisis. Reid, has not put forth 1 plan whatsover for a Senate vote. Maybe when The Coward Greenspun actually stops whoring for Crybaby Reid and look at the facts and the Coward will discover that Democrats are the one's refusing to do anything, except to play politics. But because Reid is humping Greenspun politcally, The Coward is totally blinded by his loyalty to his partner. And this shows in The Coward's editorials regarding anything political.
