Thank you for backing up my drumbeat that I've been (ranting) about these past few days.
I have asked the (conservatives) why they didn't care there were no balanced budgets from 2000 to 2008 on this City Data Forum in many threads, none have answered, and it's just as you say, as I've highlighted in your post. They will not even discuss it. Conservatives are only conservative with a democrat sitting in the White House.
