No, to add insult to injury, you get history wrong. The GOP and President Bush had SLIM majorities in the Senate for just over 4 years. Remember we had Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle for nearly 2 years...
Many conservatives ignore the realities of this decade; The Senate was barely controlled for 4 years, which meant the conservative bills advanced by the GOP and the President (such as privatization of Social Security and scaling back Medicare).

When you have an agenda of increasing the size, cost, and scope of the federal government and everything else the RINOs did that appealed to the left, you don't need much of a majority since many Democrats in Congress were more than happy to support the RINOs' goals.
