When asked about social issues, FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey responds that a truce between Democrats and Tea Party Republicans is not possible because "these are issues of the heart." "People are not going to turn their hearts and minds away from things that they have so heartfelt," he says. Though Armey does caution that mending the economy should take precedence over debating social issues.
