Nevertheless the GOP house passed three separate bills that would keep those 800,000 (your number) loyal workers on the job. The President and Democrats said nope. It's our way or nothing. End of story.
And like petulant children they are now shutting down facilities that have NEVER been closed in previous government shutdowns and doing their damndest to inflict maximum pain on as many people as possible.
Yet people like you keep defending them to the hilt.
Here's Harry Reids response to a CNN reporter's question re closure of a cancer facility. Her question, "If you can help one child with cancer, why wouldn't you do that?" His response, "Why would we want to do that?" I don't think he really intended it the way it came across--even Harry Reid isn't THAT dumb or probably not THAT cold blooded--but how hard of heart do people have to be to intentionally hurt people when there is absolutely no reason to do so?

No
They passed three bills to defund Obamacare knowing full well they would result in 800,000 workers being sent home
Perhaps, but it didn't have to. None of the bills defunded Obamacare or even tried to kill it. They just didn't provide funding for it right now when the government is broke and they are all pledged to reduce the size and scope and expense of government. The last two bill suggested that Obamacare just be delayed for now until the rules and regs are all written, the exchanges are ready to run, and all the other glitches can be worked out. It is NOT an unreasonable request.
It is not the GOP's responsibility that the President and Harry Reid will not negotiate in any way or work with anybody on anything and are being unnecessarily vindictive. It is the GOP's responsibility to represent the people who elected them. They have been doing that. Elections have consequences, remember? You Democrats have been telling us that over and over again.
"what right do they have (the house) to decide which parts government can be funded"
