Supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul booed one of Mitt Romneys adult sons off the stage Saturday at the Arizona Republican Party convention as he tried to consolidate support for his father.
Josh Romneys speech to state GOP members was cut short by jeers from Paul backers at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, the Arizona Republic reported.
The states 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 Romneys 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 fathers 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.

The Paulites were not the majority, just the loudest and the most obnoxious.
Romney was not my first choice either but he will be the nominee and he is 100X better than the present occupant of the White House.
And we were not rude to the lady who spoke for Paul. These people have been disruptive to our party for the last two years in my county. They are rude and crude and never follow the rules.
>>It is about integrity and accountability and truth.<<
Which does you a lot of good when you are a lampshade.
Love your country more than you want to get even with the GOP for outsmarting us. Cause they did.
And unless we get a brokered convention, we better put the RINO in, or we continue to have the Muslim Brotherhood conducting our Department of Homeland Security.
You don’t get it. It is those obnoxious Paulistas who do not respect others’ First Amendment rights, like the college goons who shout down conservative speakers.
Right. Google Representative Terri Proud and see if you think she is an “Establishment Republican”. That’s what the Paulistas are labelling her.
WHERE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY SINCE YOU ARE BEHOLDEN TO THEM?
Now explain this.

Watch the video. These are our saviors, our patriots.
>>WHERE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY SINCE YOU ARE BEHOLDEN TO THEM?<<
I am beholden to no one but My Lord, I told you that before.
I’m also smart enough to be paying attention to the Marxist, Muslim jihadi loving, Israeli hating President and will vote for anyone who can get him out of The People’s House.
Time to look at what the Tea Party is doing. Working on getting us a Congress to move things to the conservative side. With BO in there, he will recess appoint and executive order over the congress even more than he has this term.
Love your country more than you need to get back at the GOP, while you still have a country to fight for.
we are in agreement, it is like ... “ the college goons who shout down conservative speakers.”
you are correct but also missing something ...
the leftists who are quickest to rudely shout down opinions they dont agree with ( a form of dissent-suppression, not merely ‘not listening’) are the quickest to demands laws that take away our 1st amendment (fairness doctrine, hate speech, muzzling religious voices wrt marriage, campaign finance muzzling of independent speech, etc).
RonPaul fans doing this is quite ... leftist of them.
I see your point; however, I'll point out that the Ron Paul supporters did not use laws, or rules, or intimidation-by-authority (i.e. campus police, litigation, or somesuch) but instead voiced their dissatisfaction with the speaker. To me, that seems to be the defining element between the two.
