I thought you said you don't listen to Rush and Glenn? You sure seem to use their catch phrases quite often. The lack of bipartisanship was on the part of republicans not being willing to participate. Come on Jerry, be honest and give credit where credit is due. The republicans didn't want to vote on a republican bill solely because the democrats put it forward.

Yes. Yes I do. There are the payoffs like the Cornhusker kickback and the Louisiana Purchase to get the ball rolling (and probably others that we don't know about yet). The complete lack of bipartisanship (see the vote totals and locked door summits). The dissaproval of the a significant majority of the American electorate. The use of reconciliation to amend the bill. And so. "You obviously were not paying attention." Yes. Yes I was. Closely. It's obvious that you were not paying attention.
