How about H.R. 4474 Idaho Wilderness Water Facilities Act?
The Republican from Idaho introduced a bill on Sept. 8, 2009: H.R. 3538: Idaho Wilderness Water Resources Protection Act. The Democrat from Idaho was the co-sponsor.
The purpose of the bill was: To authorize the continued use of certain water diversions located on National Forest System land in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in the State of Idaho, and for other purposes.
On January 20, 2010 the bill was defeated by the Democrats in the House 225-191 with 187 Democrats voting against it.

So:
A Republican bill sits in the House for 5 months and is defeated by the Democrats.
The same bill is introduced by a Democrat, sits in the House for a week and is passed with no opposition.
Funny how that works.
