Paul has some bad positions but the argument you are making is ridiculous.
Boehner just convinced his caucus to pass a FY11 (half year)budget by lying to them and claiming it had $40B in cuts when it only had 1/2 billion. That is 1/80 of what he told them to get their vote promise and that last CR passed.
Boehner pushed TARP and Bush stimulus 1 on his minority members in 2008. He is the king RINO bankrupter and never should have stayed on. What do I care if he pushes through massive debt bills with no earmarks for himself? So he saves one million dollars in a bill he rams through that runs up a trillion dollars in debt? Who gives a crap?
With his flaws, Paul voted against all that crap.
Strictly on the issue of earmarks, Boehner supports the conservative position and Paul does not. QED.
