Obama Advisor Van Jones: Republicans “are assholes.”

Sorry but no. Republicans are not "assholes" despite what you said and might think. Instead, Democrats are cowards. They are cowards because they want political cover for the things that they want to push through. They want to be able to say "Look, Republicans voted for this too. It was bipartisan." even if that really means only one Republican voted along. Also, the more Republicans that they can get to vote along, the more Democrats in iffy states can vote no so that they do not have to justify their vote at home come re-election time.

So, Mr. Van Jones, Republicans are not "assholes". Democrats are cowards.
