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.”

>> “I was just asking why so many FReepers are afraid of Mormons as a whole” <<
You, and most Mormons, are utterly ignorant of what Mormonisn is. Romney is not. Romney is a part of the inner circle of Mormonism, and would be just as dangerous as obama. They are both Luciferians.
Why are you fighting Ron Paul?
He cannot win at this point, but he can derail Romney enough to throw the convention open, and give us a chance at another candidate.
Paul’s people are doing us a big favor.
The Paul supporters are a bit obnoxious as they trash anybody who get in their way like Santorum, Bachmann, Gingrich and Palin, but the Romney Hardcore backers who were with him since he was governor are insane and also obnoxious. They truly detest most everyone in the tea party.
He has no eyes.
.
Unless a brokered convention comes through, he is all we’ve got. Unless you want BO.
A very bright FReeper put it this way,
“So let’s say you are stranded out in the desert, on the verge of dying of thirst. As you stagger through the hot dry sands, in a desperate attempt to find water, You come across a case of a popular sports drink half buried in a shade of a sand dune.
Frantically, you claw away at the sand until you fully uncover the case of life-saving liquid refreshment.
Grabbing one of the bottles, you rub away the sand and dirt so that you can read the ingredients... “Damn,” you mutter to yourself, “High Fructose Corn Syrup! I can’t drink that, bad for my health!” So you toss the bottle aside in disgust and continue on your way, eventually dropping dead several miles away.
And so that is how I see this upcoming election. Romney not only is loaded with high fructose corn syrup, he’s loaded with red dye #3, trans-fats and all sorts of artificial junk. But the alternative is drinking Kool-Aid served up by Jim Jones and the People’s Temple. “
Or Glenn Beck’s way....
1. Do you know anyone who has the understanding and gained their understanding of Jesus Christ and defend it, and they got that understanding from someone like Jeremiah Wright? Do you know anyone who is a good Christian that believes there is no salvation unless there’s collective salvation?
2. Do you know somebody who is raised and/or mentored by communists?
3. Do you have friends or acquaintances that are Marxists, Communists, or have been actively engaged in the overthrow of the United States government?
4. Have you ever been at a party celebrating someone who has been accused of domestic terrorism?
5. Do you know anyone or have you ever been to a party and gave a toast to someone who is accused of being a Muslim terrorist?
6. Do you or any of your friends have the belief that terrorism doesn’t really exist? And that by definition jihad is only a holy struggle?
7. How many of you or how many of your friends have hired members of the Muslim Brotherhood to provide security for your business or their business? Or would hire members of the Muslim Brotherhood to go through and put together your security for your town?
8. Do you have any friends that believe the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular and good?
9. Do you know anybody that thinks NASA’s foremost goal should be Muslim outreach, so you can help them and NASA can help them feel good?
10. Do you know anybody who believes that Occupy Wall Street features the best people in our country right now?
11. Is it even conceivable that anyone you know or associate with would think that killing Osama Bin Laden was a tough decision? With that, you have a single friend who in that case would make sure that we have a “blame someone else” memo ready just in case it went wrong?
12. Do you have anybody in your circle of friends or your circle of influence that believes America and Israel is the biggest obstacle to peace and stability in the world. Do you know anyone who believes the United States constitution needs to be a photo negative to be right with the world today?
13. Would you or anyone you know take a gift given to the United States after 9/11, a bust of Winston Churchill, and try to give it back to the prime minister on your first meeting?

17. Do you know anybody who believes the only way out of debt is to spend $5 trillion in three and a half years? Or believes Solyndra and other green businesses were a good bet, and that the people’s hard earned money is something you should gamble with and you think that it should continue?
18. How many people do you know personally that would give a shout out to someone to say, “Hey, I just want to say hi to Bob over there and thank Bob – It’s been a great day, Bob,” before you had to announce to the country that 13 soldiers were murdered by an Islamic extremist on our own soil?
19. Do you know anybody who claims to be a huge Israeli supporter? Do you know anybody who says, “I’m the biggest fan of Israel, they’re our biggest and strongest ally, and I’m a huge supporter. I’m the best thing that has happened.” And that when the prime minister of that country flew from the other side of the globe to have a scheduled dinner with you, you would humiliate him and blow off for dinner? Let him eat alone while you had a quiet dinner someplace else with friends? Do you know anybody who says, “I am the biggest supporter of Israel,” and then visited all of the Muslim countries around Israel but couldn’t find the time to go to Israel? And that as Israel’s biggest, most loyal supporter, believes they should go back to the indefensible ’67 borders? I understand it if you’re not a fan of Israel, but if you’re a fan of Israel, do you know a soul that is a true fan of Israel that says, “Yes, go back to the ’67 borders”?
20. Do you know any committed capitalist who believes in redistribution of wealth?
?
He's not that kind of Mormon.
How would you know that?
You must have thought you knew something, as you had to say this twice.
What kind of Mormons do "you" think live in Scottsdale?
You’re plain stupid!
Whatever you think of Paul is irrelevant.
Paul is doing us a favor. He cannot get the nomination, but he can stop Romney from getting it.
You should be cheering him on.
This is not civilized conduct - shouting people down so they can’t be heard - identical conduct to the fringe left we’ve seen before.

Is this an argument?
>> “Is there any candidate further left than the surrender monkey?” <<
.
Actually, yes: Romney!
* Healthcare Mandate
* Romneycare
* Anti-gun positions
* Pro-Gay positions
Wake up, we need for Paul to get enough delegates to derail Romney’s automatic nomination.
But then we all know that you have always been a Romney-bot.
Paul can’t win anyway, but he sure can derail Satan.
No, it’s an accurate assessment though.

>> What kind of Mormons do “you” think live in Scottsdale? <<
.
The majority kind, that have zero idea what Mormonism really is. Romney is the insider kind, truly dangerous.
Nice set of strawman arguments, and you know it.
We are in a war for the very life of the country, that requires that we stop both Romney and Obama.
Paul can’t get nominated, but he can give us a real convention.
You don’t like that, do you!
.
And what exactly do you know about Mormonism that all of us ignorant others don’t? Apparently you know everything.
If you say something stupid like 'Vote for Mitt." or "Vote for Paul" I will use my free speech to boo you off the stage.
Free speech doesn't afford you a shield from criticism of same. It's like when someone calls Obama a liar during a speech. The kenyan's a liar, so fair game. The Mittiots and Paulbots are fair game, too.
I still haven’t yet reached a point where I can say I will vote for Mittens, but their timing couldn’t be worse. The thought of RP as prez *really* freaks me out.
We’ve got to get 0 out of there.
At this rate, the convention is going to be a zoo.
