Same argument can be directed towards the Democrats. It takes two to tango with this budget. Perhaps you should start thinking before you speak.

the House of Representatives has passed a budget in early march, this week the House of Representatives also Passed a 1 week continuing resolution to fund the government for another week and the military soldiers for the rest of the fiscal year.
the Senate has not brought the budget to vote, nor the continuing resolution.
the president said he would veto the continuing resolution if it came to him.
House of Representatives - done their job - passed a budget, republican majority.
Senate - have not brought the budget to the floor - have NOT passed a budget, democrat majority.
President - stated that he would veto the continuing resolution. - democrat.
so that is the reason for the shut down. It should be noted that this budget should have been dealt with in October of last year, then the democrats controlled the house, senate and presidency. But they failed to pass a budget. If they had passes a budget we would not have to be dealing with it now. -... ....

Your question is ridiculous beyond belief.
I'll try to explain this in small words, so I don't overwhelm you...
Even during a government shutdown the military still gets paid, and fully funded.
How about posting a fact or two next time.. Probably too much to ask, most liberals are deathly allergic to anything with too much truth, or too many facts in it...

Odumbo could have saved billions by not starting a war with Libya, just so the Brits can have oil. I get it now this was an oil war. Shame on Odumbo, that sly and cunning anarchist who's single handily bringing down this country.

shutting down the government while a democrat is in office is patriotic, but shutting down the government when a republican is in office is anti-american.

No, the Democrats are the ones that obviously hate the troops since they don’t want to pay them.

Republicans passed a budget, the senate won't.
And by the way , they had control of both houses of congress and couldn't pass one when they were supposed to!
