I don't have a twitter account, nor a specific question, but I do want Ron Paul to capitalize on the opporutunity to take Perry down quite a few notches.

Fingers crossed for an A-game performance that stuns the viewing public and makes them reconsider the only person on stage who does not represent the status quo, Congressman Ron Paul.

Indeed! Let's hope Ron answers both of his questions with vigor and cutting precision.

Hopefully this will be the thread everyone posts in... I seem to recall there being dozens of threads about the debate last time, which was confusing.

We can bump this prior to the debate and the mods can merge any duplicate threads as appropriate.

Not having twitter account is not something to brag about, as a Ron Paul supporter. It's like saying You want to go to war to defend country, but you just don't like firearms. Posting here on forums is good and interesting, but all of us here are already RP supporters. Tweeting, on the other side, make you capable of informing and influencing milions abot Ron Paul and his message. And, as You are quite active here on forums, which means You have time and will, it would be good to make twitter acount. It is very powerfull tool, and quite interesting, too.

I wasn't bragging about not having a twitter account, simply stating that I do not have one, but thank you for informing me why I should want one to support Ron Paul.

What question did you tweet?

So, I still have time to drive down to LA to be at the debate. Should I go? And if I do, what are the chances of getting a ticket?

Tickets are not available to the public. There's a sign waving and a debate watch party that will be held near the debate:

I don't think tickets are available to the public. They were handed out to the Reagan famaily and allocated to the campaigns for friends and family I presume.

 

[The Midnight Ride]

Did the grassroots organize for this? Can we expect a good turn out?

 

[PastaRocket848]

we need to get some people with some Rick Perry t-shirts and "9/11 was an inside job" signs in front of the cameras there. guerilla warfare

If you're referring to the sign waving and debate watch party, you can click on those links and see how many are attending. Presumably, many more who did not confirm online will also attend.

I didn't meant to sound offending, and if I have offended You, I'm sorry. All I wanted to say is - give it a try. You will love it, I promise.
I didn't like twitter, too, and have been thinking that it is just for people who are leisured and want to brag about what they eat, or what kind of music they listen, etc.
But it's much more then that.
Here is example. Few days ago on another thread we speculated about some big announcement at SC rally. And someone suggested that it can be endorsement by SC State Senator Tom Davis. I looked in to it, and have found some very nice things both about Davis and what he had to say about Ron Paul. So I decided to take a shot at it and have sent him a tweet:

@senatortomdavis Thank You for your upcoming endorsement of @ronpaul!

And he answered:

@JovicicMilan Milan, I have great respect for Ron Paul but have yet to decide who to support.

Although it wasn't answer I wanted to hear, during Jim Demint forum he tweeted:

senatortomdavis Tom Davis
Ron Paul says bring all overseas troops home because: 1) we can't afford cost; 2) overseas presence foments hatred of us; 3) we'd be safer.

Then eduardo_89 send him another tweet on the subject of endorsement:

@senatortomdavis I smell an endorsement!

And as he answered "of whom", I send:

@senatortomdavis We kinda speculated a little @RonPaulForums about some #mysterious #announcement. I #bet on #senatortomdavis, and lost.

Eduardo_89 then send:

@senatortomdavis Hopefully you make the right choice for America and endorse Ron Paul!

And Tom Davis retweeted these tweets, so all people that follow him could read it. And You usually retweet something You support, or find interesting and well thought. It gave oportunity to 1700 of his followers to read his tweets about Ron Paul. And these 1700 people that follow senator Davis are almost all South Carolina conservatives interested in politics and almost sure to vote in primaries.

He tweeted some very good things about Ron Paul before Palmeto Forum, too, and some pretty doubtful about Romney and Perry, but this post is already too long. Point is, with twitter, you can reach to almost anyone today, you can set course of discusion, find all same thinking people with simple tools like hashtags, etc.

Thank you very much the apology and for those examples. I may just just the twitter world soon! Much to learn.

I would just really hope some great questions would be phrased to really expose all the others as really being "The Status Quo" and to expose how the others are now Trying so hard to sound like Ron Paul on issues that are NOW more popular.
In Questions Please expose who is FAKE, and who has ALWAYS been REAL! In my whole lifetime we have never had a REAL candidate! Not even close. Everyone knows that, everyone is more SICK of that than anything else! It also continues to build on the Campaign's current themes of "TRUST" and Ron being the only "ONE".
Let's do this NOW and continue to do this! It is working, it can't be ignored! A bunch of Fake Ron Paul clones struggling to talk substance about things they know nothing about is a piece of cake to crumble. RON has been Right, this will only become more apparent in the coming months.
