So there was a deal where neither side hung their ass out on the line while still passing the bill? Fabulous stuff.
If you don't believe in the bill, don't vote for it. If you do, vote for it. It's a simple system. The Democrats put a bill out there that their own party couldn't even fully support, then bitched when it didn't pass and pointed fingers. There's only one party in Congress that could decide to block or pass this bill and it was the Democrats. If the bill was all that, they should have voted for it. Instead, they tossed up a half-ass bill with half-ass support and acted shocked that it didn't pass. It rings very hollow.
