Amy Kremer of the Tea Party Express on now.

She is saying the bickering is unnecessary, and we need to support each other.

Don't back down because of negativity of some.

If you don't like what another group is doing, ignore them

We have one chance, and the time is now

We need to stick together.

Today is Ronald Reagan's 99th birthday!

Nutmeg wasn’t sure if you saw this thread, want to ping your peeps for Sarah?

[Syncro]

Which video is that?

Only the top one is live I think

[GVnana]

Got streaming vid, snacks, drinks, ready to go!

[don-o]

My question is, who is Amy Kremer and b y what authority does she dictate the agenda?

I see two questions there. I do not know who she is; as to by what authority...I suppose the convention organizers' authority. Do you have a larger point?

[Syncro]

It's working fine for me right now

Keep in mind, the top feed is live (when there is something going on) and the other three are not live

On the live feed now, a guy is talking to two women

" So you want pro-life conservatives to run away and hide? This is Reagan's 99th Birthday anniversary. Ronald Reagan never ran from a fight in his life and neither should pro-lifers. The Republican Party Platform is clear and the Tea Party should embrace its Pro-Life plank on right to life issues. FRee Republic is also a Pro-Life forum of the first magnitude."

I'd add that Reagan's book, Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation, came out while he campaigned for re-election, vs. Mondale.
It certainly did not seem to be a deal breaker between RR and the electorate.

I would like a direct quote before I could comment on your question.

I've never seen her "dictate" agenda

She is on cspan at this minute if you want to hear her speak

[GVnana]

An Amy Kremer just stated that we, i.e., the Tea Party, intentionally avoids social issues and will continue to do so as it would cause divisiveness.

What an idiot.

[onyx]

Me too: C-SPAN.
You have the perfect screen name for spotting Geraldo..lol.

[onyx]

Thank you, ((( kanawa ))) !!!

Q: I'm watching what appears to be from a session earlier today. An Amy Kremer just stated that we, i.e., the Tea Party, intentionally avoids social issues and will continue to do so as it would cause divisiveness.

My question is, who is Amy Kremer and b y what authority does she dictate the agenda?

I think that, whatever position you take on any particular "social issue" that it's simply smart politics to limit the number of issues that are "Tea Party" issues to those strictly surrounding fiscal restraint and Constitutional government.

This doesn't mean that social issues are any less important, but just a recognition that the current national mood is a kind of astonished disgust with what Obama and the Democrats are doing to this country right now.

Let me put it this way--you just found out that your neighbor was molesting his children. Now, their house is on fire.

Do you put the fire out, or do you wait for the neighbor to admit their incest first?

Our country is that house on fire right now. Let's put the fire out first, then deal with the neighbor later. That's what I mean about "smart politics" and I think that's what the focus of the Tea Party movement is, and should be right now.

Sounds like you’re on PJTV. Me too.
