Evans has stayed active ever since and is now the senior aide to the Richmond Tea Party. He embodied the crowd of hundreds who gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the grassroots movement: political neophytes just five years before, they have coalesced into a powerful presence.

I’m not very happy with the Republican establishment,” Evans said. “The Democratic Party has been completely taken over by the progressive movement, and I believe that’s happening now with the right.”

Evans said he is fighting progressives in both parties and has his sights on House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) and Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.).



Mark Warner is barely a progressive, but seriously, Eric Cantor? 95 % lifetime rating at ACU? A progressive? On what planet?

Apparently, there is something in Richmond water that makes people crazy.

If only.
Someone is being stupid, deliberately or just naturally.
The Democratic party, IMO, has been taken over by the Third Way corporatists, and Progressives are only just barely tolerated for our votes.
