Well, it certainly sounds like it. And it doesn't win lot's of points for subtlety, either. Powerpoints? Spread sheets? Who else is he talking about?
Today’s conservatism is in love with zeroes.
We think if we can just unite behind a proposal to cut the deficit and debt…if we can just put together a spreadsheet and a power point and a TV ad….all will be well.

By obsessing with zeroes on the budget spreadsheet, we send a not-so-subtle signal that the focus of our country is on the phony economy of Washington – instead of the real economy out here in Charlotte, and Shreveport, and Cheyenne.

Well, two obvious points:
Conservatives ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Conservatives can talk about the federal budget and the real economy.
