Speculative, but if you take the words at face value, yes.  Ron Paul is the only remaining GOP candidate who is an actual fiscal conservative.

The GOP is the party of deficits. The Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility. That's been the case since the 1950s.

That's because the Democrats haven't been able to elect a programmatic Democrat...until Obama.  For the past 40 years, the US has elected Republicans and anti-Republicans, not Democrats*.

(* - Clinton is a bit of a special case - he was a true Democrat in 1992 but 1994 pushed him to the center and made him a relatively non-partisan centrist.  He should thank Gingrich for his legacy.)
