Outside the Debate in Arizona......

[Kregisen]

Outside the debate in Arizona, atleast 90% of the people I saw were holding Ron Paul signs or wearing Ron Paul shirts. I saw maybe 10 Santorum people total (I think 1 big family), 0 Romney and 0 Gingrich...and hundreds of Paul supporters on the way to a Ron Paul viewing party 1 block north of the debate location. We were at a church, must have been about 1,000 of us watching the debate and I must say it was an epic experience. I've never seen so many Paul supporters in person in my life.

I saw Gage taking pictures but like always he leaves right away without saying hi (lol), but I just found out one of the guys I sat next to was none other than RPF user CaptainAmerica. We talked for a while during the debate, but after I got home I got onto the chat room and found out he was there and was none other than the guy I was talking to! Small world eh?


Ron Paul dominated that debate and supporters dominated the framework outside, leading up to, during, and after the debate. It was a home run, and Santorum got utterly destroyed.

FOR LIBERTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!



edit....here are some of the (not the best quality) videos and pics I there took:

Start of the debate in side room:




Random answer during the debate....unfortunately I didn't get a video when everyone was going crazy during the debate. The only video I got was when the place was pretty calm. It was a lot more epic than this:




Finally when Paul showed up:





Random pictures..................

...couple a friend took:

All in all a great event.

Are y'all anywhere in this pic? Lol

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Im sure someone was, but there were hundreds of people at a church a block away watching the debate on a large projection screen.

No Tyler we were inside the local church watching at live at that time. Seriously though, I didn't know that many Ron Paulers even lived around here. That was insane!

I was at the church too. I think there was more like 1500 people. Seriously.

Right after the debate there were some guys in suits that came in. One of them had a Newt Gingrich button, so I bet he was working for Gingrich in some way. He came in and saw the crowd, and said "Oh my god."

I was wondering how many of us there are RPF members. Me, CaptainAmerica, you, Gage, my friend (MR2Fast2Catch) was there as well. I imagine there were atleast another dozen there.

Same, I've never seen so many people inside of a church . Wish the people in front would have sat down, though. I was standing in the very back and could hardly see him. Only caught a few glimpses between people's arms.

Do you know if he did anything outside? After his speech I noticed people were gathering towards a rear door and after already walking towards my car down the street heard a lot of cheering. What did I miss?

And yes, there were tons of RP signs all over the place downtown. Still don't have much hope for the primary, though.

I was there and it was and epic night. I have a video of his RP's speech but it's not the greatest because I was in the back.

I was there too, long purple dress shirt and a black beanie. I took a buddy of mine that registered Republican just to shut me up. He was impressed by tonight and is now fully on board.

I would assume he left right away, no doubt he needed a change of under wear.
