They never had (well only for a few weeks if memory serves) the supermajority in the Senate that would allow them to override a filibuster.

That's one of the problems with the Senate. You no longer have to DO a filibuster, you just have to SAY you will. You don't have to back up your convictions with actually going up and reading speeches or whatever to stop something that you truly believe is wrong.

And thank YOU richielion for reinforcing the view that republicans are waging a war against women. They vote no on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, they vote no on the Violence Against Women Act, they introduce 1100 bills in 2011 in every state in the country pertaining to women's health issues (and are on track to surpass that number in 2012).

Even John McCain said yesterday on Meet The Press that this war on women has got to stop.

Saw an interesting headline recently that said "Don't Republicans Realize That Women Vote?"
Yes, There Is A Republican War On Women Voters | Fox News
John McCain: Arizona Contraception Bill Should Be Vetoed

Wow; comprehension is really a problem here. You understood nothing.
Typical

We all, or should, know how a bill becomes law.....in a hurry but will leave you with a few items....and of ccourse you will run to your nearest party site to find other things, but ...

...President Obama proposed a FY2012 budget last year, and the Senate voted it down 97–0. (And that budget was no prize—according to the Congressional Budget Office, that proposal never had an annual deficit of less than $748 billion, would double the national debt in 10 years and would see annual interest payments approach $1 trillion per year.)

...The Senate rejected House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R–WI) budget by 57–40 in May 2011, with no Democrats voting for it.

...Senator Reid has said it would be “foolish” to pass a budget, but failing to pass it is proving to be beyond irresponsible. The middle class will be left holding the bag, paying for the Senate’s reckless negligence with soaring deficits,

Have a nice day...someday MAYBE YOU WILL come to terms with a few things...

This President is NOT what you think he is at all.

This congress ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE are a joke

NO political party is worth the adulation you give to this president and this party...NO PARTY

so the republicans voted down their own budget? no surprise there! they can't even agree amongst themselves...these primaries disgustingly prove that! 3 years of contentious behavior and then the best they could put up to run is a group of dancing monkeys. Romney? really? damaged goods at best, but don't worry whatever he needs to say to win he will, if he believes what he is saying or not. Santorum? Paul? Gingrich? this reads worse than a bad reality show. Has Romney once TRULY said how he expects to accomplish any one of his promises?? and I said truly so don't give me what his people have said, whay has he said...that's when he wasn't stumbling over his BS. Oh, and I mean that in only the nicest way,hmmph

Were you liberals hoping for President Bush to succeed?............no, really.

Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Once a president is elected, the best interests of Americans is not served by hoping that he fails. Political differences aside, support for the President to succeed is a vote for America,s success. Big difference between hoping he does not get re-elected vs. hoping he fails. Working together for the common good of America becomes less likely when opinions and denunciations are influenced by various degrees of inbred racism.

First, It IS sad that this seems to always surface in almost every post about Obama.
Second, I think it is just as bad to hope for Obama to succeed with policies that I and many Americans don't want to have happen.
So by hoping that he succeeds you are hoping for America to fail.
I want America to succeed and Obama's policies to fail.
And so far he is a failure.
Once he is out of office we can begin to succeed. Until then what I have quoted in this post above WILL happen but not in the way you meant.

Your thought is too simple for liberals to understand. They'll be looking for your underlaying message and trying to "uncover" what you really mean.

"I want America to succeed, and (and so that may happen) Obama's policies to fail"

.............(I added some words for liberals to better understand your message)

support one who could be wrong or not doing the right thing?

Sounds like a passive, permissive talking point.

I do not expect to see the office of POTUS ever fail. However supporting a failed/failing occupant of the office is not in the best interest of America....forget the R or D or race or what ever other red herrings that may come forth!!
