It is still a hot story in tea-party land. Freedomworks came right now and said they want to take down Romney, and even hotair.com is setting up a division between TPX and everyone else.
The fact is, she didn't commit support, and is making good on her CNN agreement.

Check out the link, it's the story Taxed and I wrote.
Nice work lads.
So the Tea party will do what it can to take him down but will support him if he gets the nomination? Is that right?

One difference, all precedence goes out the window now that the Tea party exists.
Think mid Term elections. 8)

I was thinking about that. Like November they'll get plenty of coverage though it will be negative but that didn't stop the voters from doing their own research. Perhaps the elites will be doing us a favor by trashing tea Tea Party.

I would like to address the larger question of should Tea Party members vote for the Republican presidential candidate, whoever s/he may be just because we want to get rid of Barack Obama so badly?
It is now perfectly clear the Republican Party establishment, and by that I mean the corporate-dominated wing of the Republican Party, plans to use Obama's Marxist, socialist ideology to pressure Tea Party members into supporting a "center-right" Republican presidential nominee. The question is, should Tea Party members support another RINO presidential candidate just because we so desperately want to get rid of Obama?

The whole purpose of the Tea party is to cull the RINO from the GOP.

Forget about that 'lesser of two evils' crap and about being 'herded'. It's all B.S. as we all know. ::) You go right ahead and vote for the Republican nominee, even if they're a RINO, if that makes you happy.
I plan on voting my conscience and that means NO MORE RINO's for me.

Let me make this as clear as possible!
There is no way in Hell that Romney will make it through the primary process without Tea party support.
There are no ifs ands or buts about it!
No candidate will make it through, without the Tea party support!
Remember all those people that sat out McCain's vote or voted for someone else?
Those people will be voting Tea party, along with the majority of the Republicans, that is a huge number pissed at the GOP, its more than enough to influence an election.
Is that clear enough?
Noted. ;D

That wasn't directed at you, but to the audience at large.
I spent the better half of the day repeating that around the web, that was pretty much a cut n paste answer, I have been posting all day since our story broke.
This story is all over the place and they alll seem to focus on the "What Ifs", and I just keep repeating that over and over like a club upside a libs head till they finally get it. ;D
Now if Palin enters the race, the question will be "What about the Independents?"
I guess we'll just have to release a story about that as well. :))
Since this story is the property of Taxed and myself, we own it, so I'll post it in its entirety.
Amy Kremer Did Not Commit Support To Romney
By Tom Reiber
Last Saturday, the head of Tea Party Express, Amy Kremer, sat down for a one on one interview with Fox News to discuss the impact of the tea party on the 2012 Presidential Elections. In this interview, she made a statement that has turned tea party conservatives on their heads. The statement of intense controversy was a response to a question posed by Fox News' Uma Pemmaraju:
"Does that mean you would support a Romney campaign if he turns out to be the front runner?
Kremer's response:
"If Romney is the nominee, I believe that - we want to defeat Barack Obama - so if Romney is the nominee, we would support him."
When I first heard she said the Tea Party Express would back Romney, I was livid. I promptly fired off a scathing email, accusing her of selling us out to the Old Guard GOP (RINO). She responded, and we made arrangements to continue the discussion. Pleasantries aside, we got right to the heart of the matter.
She did not commit any support to Romney, or any candidate. So what did she say? Her opening statement was quite clear: the nominee would have received support of the tea party. With that said, Miss Pemmaraju restated her question, with Miss Kremer's point already qualified; assuming Romney had made it through the primaries, "WE", the tea party, would have already put him there.
Still, I was perturbed as to why she wouldn't just say no to Romney, so I continued to press for his denouncement. She informed me of an agreement between her and CNN for the Tea Party Express to host the first ever Tea Party Debate. Being a principled person, and to maintain integrity of the debate by not alienating any GOP candidates and negatively affect viewership, she remained neutral to all candidates.
Prior to my discussion with Miss Kremer, I was very unhappy with her and intended to discontinue my support for the Tea Party Express. After the discussion I am still a Tea Party Express supporter. To my fellow conservative tea partiers who may remain skeptical, I assure you, Miss Kremer is in no way compromised.
Author's Note:
We currently have a devout anti-American Marxist in the Oval Office. He does not respect our Constitution, does not respect nor understand the free market, and cares nothing about the well being of our country.
He estranges our allies and is intent on increasing our dependence on foreign energy. He led the charge in pushing through legislation for the largest slush fund in history, and is licking his chops to mangle the Second Amendment. He loathes individuality, self accountability, and personal achievement.
The social and economic decline of our country is a reflection of our President's ethos.
Still, with his anti-traditional and anti-American ideology, he is the best thing that happened to this country. Like being inoculated with a disease, he has injected a heavy dose of socialism into the veins of our nation, giving birth to the tea party movement to resist his "fundamental changes".
The Tea Party movement did not rise for us to give the established GOP confidence that we will give up and support any RINO presented to us as the front runner simply because we fear another term of Obama. We will vote with our principles this time around, and conservatism will triumph as it always does.

I went back and watched the video to make sure I didn't miss anything and I thought it was crystal clear; Romney's not the choice of the Tea Party Express folks but if he's the choice of Republican primary voters then the Tea Party Express will hold their collective nose and support him. Any other position strengthens Obama's re-election chances.

Yep, thats it in a nutshell.
Amy is one of those people that believes we should all get along, like Rodney King.
Nice lady, but a bit of a dreamer, anyway thats the impression I got from talking to her.
Doesn't sound like a dreamer to me.
Matter of fact, she comes across as a hard-nosed realist who understands that you don't always get what you want and holding your breath until you turn blue in the face and die isn't how adults respond to being presented with a choice between the lesser of two evils.
It'd be nice if some of our over-refined I'll-never-ever-vote-for-a-RINO fellow conservatives were as realistic as Kremer.

No thats not what I meant, and I can''t go into detail unfortunately, without revealing a private conversation.
But otherwise your description is pretty accurate, she has taken quite a bit of abuse, and still kept above the fray.
