Twitter Debate Ron Paul not Invited??

[MelissaCato]

This would be a good time to get #RonPaul trending I think. What if people didn't know #RonPaul is not in the debate and questions are sent to @140townhall anyway ?

Terrible decision to not attend this twitter debate. Just look at the heat everyone is giving Romney for not being there. Awful, awful, awful.

 

[MelissaCato]

Some of the Tweets are priceless. People Tweeting questions to Patrick Henry, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson about the NWO. LOL

A few of mine:

@RonPaul isn't here cuz answers of substance take more then 140 characters. #140townhall
@140townhall How long does it take you to raise $600K? #140townhall
@140townhall Does being against foreign aid to Israel make you a racist? #140townhall
@140townhall Do you believe federal government spending creates jobs? #140townhall
@140townhall Define "small government conservative. #140townhall
@140townhall What is your stance on the Income Tax? Is the IRS is good thing?
@140townhall do we need an Audit of the Federal Reserve?
@140townhall Do you support States' Rights?
@140townhall out of the 6 undeclared wars, which ones are you against?
@140townhall Have you Googled Ron Paul?

The thing is already a circus. Its just supporters of each candidate seeing who can re tweet the fastest.

What's wrong with that? It's called awareness.

I know. But I don't think any candidate is gaining new supporters from other camps with 140 characters. That's all I'm saying.

 

[Chieppa1]

Weird, their not having the answers swing back to the "#410townhall" hashtag. Not gonna trend.

Gaaaahhhh! I've actually been trying to follow, and it is very difficult. I would have set the page up totally differently, It's way too busy. Everyone is 'shouting' in there. My ears hurt from all the shouting.

I watched the whole thing, and it was so busy and hectic that I honestly cannot remember one tweet.

Who's even reading it? I'm not. I'm not purposely staying out, I'm simply not interested. Worse, if the timeline is full of retweets, it will be torture to go through later, too.

Would it be possible and effective to hold a counter-debate similar to how the Rally for the Republic was a counter-convention to the 2008 Republican National Convention?

I don't understand the analogy. Ron Paul was encouraged to be in the Twitter debate. He didn't want to be in the debate. We was not excluded from the debate or prevented from speaking about whatever he wanted to speak about.
