Supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul booed one of Mitt Romney’s adult sons off the stage Saturday at the Arizona Republican Party convention as he tried to consolidate support for his father.
Josh Romney’s speech to state GOP members was cut short by jeers from Paul backers at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, the Arizona Republic reported.
The state’s convention was to elect delegates for the national convention in August, where the former Massachusetts governor is expected to wrap up the nomination to take on President Barack Obama.
“We cannot afford four more years of President Obama,” said Josh Romney, the third of Mitt Romney’s five sons. “We need someone to step in there and turn things around.”

But Josh had to stop repeatedly as people booed and yelled for Paul, who has continued campaigning in the Republican primary. All other challengers, including Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, have dropped out of the race, and Romney has a commanding lead over Paul in the estimated delegate count.
But Paul supporters have begun flooding state conventions, recently winning control of delegate majorities in Nevada and Maine.
Josh Romney tried to pacify the crowd by taking a moment to recognize his father’s former rivals. It appeared to have little effect: Telling delegates to vote for his dad as he finished up, the crowd “exploded with competing boos and cheers, cutting him short.”
According to the Republic, some attendees said they heard Paul supporters chanting outside that Mitt Romney was “the white Obama.”

This “Bad form” people keep talking about is how revolutions are fought (or at least started).
I am POSITIVE that many of the time accused the folks who harassed the “the man” back in the revolutionary days of having “bad form”.
This is what it looks like when people are pissed off and want the folks they feel are F”ing things up to STFU and get out of the way.
I’m not voting for Romney. Deduce from that whatever the hell you please.

And give their vote to either Obama or who?
I’m not sure I’d have joined in with the crowd but still...
I don’t think sitting back and playing nice is going to win this country back. Your post brought to mind (probably wrongly) all those “Coexist” decals I see on the bumpers of liberal’s cars.
Ron Paul people acting like Democrats.
I’d leave it blank. personally.
Vote for House and Senate instead.
Romney had a majority in NV, ID, MA, VA, DC, CT, DE, NY, RI, IA, NC, WV. That's 12 out of 40 State & DC Primaries so far. In all other primaries to date, more people voted against Romney than voted for him. Of these states, only ID & WV are strong R states in the General Election. NC is a toss up.

Romney needs to find a way to win the Cain/Santorum/Gingrich/Paul supporters into his campaign if he intends to win. He can't buy the General Election with overwhelming media presence the way he did the primary. And Obama already has an army ready to mobilize. Perhaps smaller and less enthusiastic than 4 years ago but plenty sufficient without serious opposition on the ground. There won't be enough people motivated to vote against Obama to carry Romney. Most will just stay home if they don't feel they have something to vote for.
MYTH ROMNEY and his cowardly kabal of weirdo cultists should be booed off every stage in America, every single time they appear.

Back in 1776 you would have locked up the entire Continental Congress for herb!!!!
You got something against agriculture? Happiness? Freedom? Flower phobia? Founding Fathers? What gives YOU or ANYBODY the RIGHT to determine what someone ingests? Pluck the beam out of your own eye brother.
Prohibition is a state matter!
From this and other stories we see that a lot of Romney supporters are not enthusiastic enough to show up at the local and other meetings to actually select delegates

"RP Mitt Romney should never have been allowed to run on the GOP ticket, because he’s a libertarian democrat.
What are the names of the Republicans who participated in the Primary but have now withdrawn due to lack of support?
What are the names of the current Republican primary candidates?
Here's a few more questions fer ya:
Newt Gingrich, a former candidate in the 2012 GOP presidential primary, who has withdrawn from the race, has announced that he will support which presidential candidate?
Rick Santorum a former candidate in the 2012 GOP primary, who has withdrawn from the race, has announced that he will support which presidential candidate?
Former Alaska Governer Sarah Palin, never once considered a 2012 GOP primary candidate for the presidency, has announced that she is supporting which presidential candidate?
One would think that the actual candidates themselves would have a better handle on their chances of getting the GOP nomination than John Q. GeronL, don't you think?
Go ahead and bluster all you want, its you Perotistas who supported that egotistical, paranoid little twerp with huge ears who gave the 1992 election to Clinton........
And you're campaigning to do the same thing for Obama.............
