Attack his party affiliation all you want, his philosophy (which is what I hope people vote on, not straight ticket party voters) has not bent and twisted for the parties he has alligned with. Case in point - his current troubles with the Republicans. Your point would matter more if he was out saying the same thing as practically every other Republican (then making it the 'convenience' factor), when in fact most are trying to keep him from being noticed. How is that oppurtunistic for Paul?
