There are a half dozen or more conservative associations, which publish their ratings of Congress. I don’t know Boehner because I’m, obviously, not from his congressional district but before I’d bad-mouth him, I’d check his “conservative” ratings with those various groups!

I already have.
Boner is on the soft side of conservative, earning a rating of 88 in 2006.
Pence earned a rating of 100 that same year.

[counterpunch]

But anyways, “conservative” ratings only tell half the story.
This is about more than votes, it is about leadership.
Boner has a proven record of failure as leader.

One can be a good conservative and also a poor leader.

He had his chance, now it's time to find a leader that knows how to win.
