So, does this means if they'd won, it'd have been a loss?

WASHINGTON - To hear Senate Republicans tell it, the defeat of their attempt to repeal the Democrats' health care overhaul was really a victory of sorts on the long march to the 2012 congressional and presidential elections.

The repeal effort sank Wednesday along party lines, 51-47, as expected. But in the process, Republicans forced Democrats on the record in favor of President Barack Obama's signature overhaul and launched what they described as a two-year effort to discredit it in the lead-up to a bid for a second term.

Um...okay, but this is really a good example of how incredibly stupid politics gets when it becomes mostly about them vs us.

There are always flaws in legislation, even yours, so spending all this effort on "exposing" them is ridiculous, which is what the Republicans go on and on about in this article.
Why don't you all work towards actually doing something about real issues instead of worrying about winning, political strategies and what the other guy is doing?
Think that might fix a few things?
