This is why Ron Paul gets little traction - his extremist followers.

Ron Paul Supporters Boo Romney Son Off Stage at Ariz. GOP Convention

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 voted for RP in the NYS primary and find this type of tactic ridiculous and very off putting.

[Dos Equis]

Truth.  These kinds of supporters don't help his cause at all.

Fuck Romney and his sons rich-born pricks if they cant take it they should get of the political stage

[MM2K]

Ya think? Fucking dumbasses these people are. What the fuck has Ron Paul ever accomplished in the political arena? He would go down 40 states to 10 if he was the nominee. And he would be as big of an embarassment as Obama in the White House.

He is a pathetic excuse for a statesman and his son is almost as pathetic.

IMO, he's the only one onstage during the primaries who was actually acting like a statesman.

Instead of making accusations of mitt having an illegal housekeeper and rudy allowing illegal cities and you're a bigger liberal than me...

he was too busy talking about the upcoming economic collpse - and he ws right in 2008.

Good thing you did your part by voting for him. 

[Soul Crusher]

What pisses me off about the Ron Paul people is that they go after repubs far worse than they ever do obama or the rats and then they wonder why more people are not persuaded to to him. 

Shit like this does a lot more harm than good.

he removed himself from contention in my state.

No he most certainly was not. He kept turning the discussion to military spending when people were trying to talk about economic issues, when military spending is historically low in spite of the fact that we are at war. He was a babble mouth and was not helpful to the discussion. He was focused too much on the Fed (which has indeed made bad mistakes and bad policies), but the Fed isnt any where near the biggest problem. The main problem is in the White House and Capital Hill. He talked very little about that. He is what you call a true RINO, considering that he showed more support to Cynthia McKinney than he did John McCain in 2008.


Again, what has he ever done in the political arena except get more pork for his district? Did he ever get the top tax rate down from  70% all the way down to 28%? Did he ever get the Cap gains tax down from 28% to 20%? Did he get the cap gains tax down from 20% to 15% ? Did he get the dividends tax down from 40% to 20% ? Did he balance the budget of a deep blue state that was in big trouble? Did he ever accomplish welfare reform and actually get low income people off the welfare rolls? Did he ever balance the federal budget? Did he ever actually restore price stability to the FED, which is all he ever TALKS about??

Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney have accomplished ALL these things. NOT Ron Paul.

Exactly. If Ron supproters are expremists for booing then what the hell is the establishment GOP when they boo'd Pauls CPAC win or the media when they go all out to disenfranchise Paul's supporters with non stop negative attacks? Please....some of you are fucking blind.

Sounds like booing and a disruption to me.  They're going to make fools of themselves at the convention.

My issue is that most of the most ardent ron pasul supporters rarely ever say a word about the leftists and obama and focus mostly on trashing the GOP.


Yeah thats the real way to advance your cause and get more people to your side.

Agree.  And what's worse is they (including Paul) are not going to support the nominee anyway.

Romney is garbage. End of story.

He's head and shoulders better than Obama.  And he's going to be the nominee.  End of story.

He is also better than Ron Paul in terms of getting things done.

True.  Much better record of accomplishment.
