For me, some of the republicans fiscal ideas have worked in the past but they favor military spending, corporate welfare and dangerous deregulation too much. If the US was more like Canada in terms of its banking regulation, perhaps the housing bubble never would of happened.

As for foreign policy, I don't think either party does a good job. Nothing much changed under Obama but what Bush did won't be easily forgotten. Pissing off other countries and flexing military muscle just isn't good strategy anymore.
