But if your point is simply that "Republican" doesn't imply "good fiscal manager" or "low deficits" than I completely agree, I would just point out the same is true about Democrats...

Yes, exactly right. That is my point in a nutshell.

But its hardly the only measure. Another important one is to measure deficits as a percent of GDP. Since 1900 the three highest levels where all under Democratic presidents (In order the top 4 are FDR, Wilson, Obama, and Reagan, with a sizable drop each time you go from one to the next).

Do you have a source for this data? I'd like to see that, because that is an important point.
