"The funding bill, called a continuing resolution, keeps the government open through mid-January. The legislation needed at least 60 votes and passed by 66 votes, with 32 nays and two senators not voting."

You do know that they know ahead of time how people are voting and that the bill was going to pass, right? So some Senators took the opportunity to make a protest or a statement via their vote, while being fully aware it was going to pass and the government would be funded for another month. If the numbers were closer, some of them would have switched their votes. No one "wanted" to shut the government down, regardless of what some RWNJ blog claims.

They are staking positions for the upcoming discussion and debate where they will hopefully finally do their damn jobs and come up with a bill that will fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Yeup, we kicked that can down the road once again, and they get to do this again in March. Some different players but the same inability to pass a long term budget, and that goes for both Parties. The thing I find amusing is that the same people that said a government shutdown was no big deal, now want to whine about one that did not happen, you just cannot make up this "stuff".

So I guess the Republican shut down of the .gov in 2013 was just fine?

Really? It wasn't that way in 2013 when Democrats in the Senate shut the government down.
