Evan Queitsch Announces Candidacy
Evan Queitsch will run against Senator Anthony DeLuca. He’s set up a website. His motto: We can make Delaware the 1st State once again!
A sample from the Fiscal Responsibility Issue Page:
Next, we must shrink the size of government in Delaware. 15 % of Delawares employed persons work for the government. This is on par with the public employment levels in Greece whose system is falling apart under the crushing weight of government costs. Shrinking government will inevitably lead to staffing cuts but that doesn’t have to mean that service levels decrease or that people remain jobless. Early retirements, reducing by attrition and consolidating services will help a lot without flooding the job market with more unemployed persons but there is an even better way to ensure that we don’t just put people out of work, increase job creation in the public sector.
[Note: For some tech reason the website wouldn’t let me copy/paste. I have re-typed the above paragraph. If I made an error, please let me know and I’ll correct my mistake.]
Take a look at that last sentence. You’ll have to reread it several times since Mr. Queitsch appears to be against commas and sentence structure… as well as taxes. When I first read it I was left with the impression that an even better way to ensure we don’t put people out of work is to increase job creation in the public sector. I know that isn’t what Evan Q believes, but the way it’s written is extremely confusing. May I suggest a Communications Director as his first hire?
Evan’s web page has scripting that hinders copying. He is using a free website provider and likely isn’t even aware of this. I was able to copy by right-clicking and selecting Copy. Or if you turn off “javascript” in your browser, you will see all the content unprotected all on one page, and you can copy it.
Early retirements, reducing by attrition and consolidating services will help a lot without flooding the job market with more unemployed persons but there is an even better way to ensure that we don’t just put people out of work, increase job creation in the public sector.
So, by Evan’s logic and facts (and I do not ever assume that either are true), we need to reduce by a wide margin the percentage of the public workforce, and that will be a good thing. That reduction of the public workforce must not flood the job market and create more unemployed people.
Ok, stop.
When you eliminate jobs, Evan, you create unemployed people. Evan seems to be saying that cutting the public sector can be done by early retirements. Evan assumes that these early retirees will never work again. My mother and father are early retirees and they both work. So that first assumption by Evan is false.
Second, consolidating services will result in unemployed people. Because when 2 people are doing two jobs, and you decide to be more efficient that only one person should do both jobs, you are sending 1 person to the unemployment line. Sorry, Evan, but you fail at basic math.
Next Evan says that there is an even better way to ensure that we don’t just put people out of work. What is that better way, you ask? Evan’s answer: increase job creation in the public sector.
Um. Evan.
Do you know what that means? The public sector is government. The state. So you just came out in favor of expanding government.
Congratulations. You are so stupid that you don’t even understand the words coming out of your mouth.
“Early retirements, reducing by attrition and consolidating services will help a lot without flooding the job market…”
A most excellent argument for lowering the Social Security retirement age.
He’s an absolute mess. And now he’s over at DelawarePolitics shooting off his mouth in the comment section. If there was ever a candidate who needed a handler…
looks to me like he is qualified to be a late entry into the GOP potus field.
Evan is part of the delusion that is rooted in the All the Government You Can Eat for Free. Which apparently includes the notion that downsizing government won’t result in unemployment.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a representative of the so-called party of business. One who has never had responsibility of (apparently) even his own checkbook for the better part of his adult life.
All I can say after looking at his website is “huh?” This is an early April Fool’s joke, right?
Never take a wingnut’s statement of facts at face value. Sweden’s public employment rate is 38%. I’d take Sweden’s economy.
Australia has a bout 30% and nobody is telling Australia to declare bankruptcy.
I checked out the website. My brain hurts.
Pandora, THANK YOU! You caught a typo that we hadn’t realized was there! You’re right, as it was structured, increasing jobs in the public sector WOULD be a contradiction but thankfully you caught it and I was able to put in “private” which is OF COURSE what I meant. Any due diligence to any of my policies or ideas would have shown that I am a proponent of allowing the PRIVATE sector to create jobs. I won’t be spending any more time out here in the comment section of the blogs today but I’m encouraging you all to voice your concerns. It would be nice if you’d focus more on the policy than on syntax or some personal attack but I know how things operate here and I’m prepared for the smears. 🙂
Thanks again for catching that typo Pandora!
Actually the error was in semantics, not syntax. I’d rather think of it as a Freudian slip.
way to help the tbags, Pandora….. traitor. (kidding…. luv you)
There’s ALOT of typos over on that website. Sheesh.
And Greece has one of the lowest rates of public employment in the OECD. Greece’s problem isn’t so much its public employment, but then, you’d have to step away from Fox news to even get a hint of this.
LOL, Ben! Actually I have a very civil online relationship with Evan Q. Go figure!
This is why Deluca keeps his job year after year.
Just because the video of Evan pushing people around on the PEOPLE’S MALL in Washington, DC is no longer on YouTube doesn’t mean that WE THE PEOPLE have forgotten about it.
WE THE PEOPLE also remember the insane video that O’Donnell put out that was supposed to prove that people were hiding in her bushes, but instead it proved that people like Evan were pushing people around at O’Donnell’s public appearances.
Too bad for Evan we weren’t all born yesterday. I hope Deluca totally crushes Evan, and I can’t stand Tony Deluca.
Those videos aren’t lost:
Evan appears at 3:50
Evan in the striped shirt blocks cameraman and gets violent
Who is the dude in the blue shirt in the first video?
I didn’t click on those vid links today, but I remember when they came out there was a big dude in a blue shirt and Dockers chest-butting and advancing on somebody talking to him. I remember thinking the guy (being advanced on) should have stood his ground.
There actually was a name for the blue shirt guy in the DL post when the video first came out. I’m too lazy/busy to look for it now. I think I was the guy who commented that he looked like a Best Buy worker, but it somehow stuck to Evan. Works for me tho either way.
That is the world-famous Matt Moran. He is famous for his priggishness.
Actually LG, I wasn’t even IN the first video doing anything but standing there…the guy in the blue shirt is Matt Moran…Christine’s Campaign Manager.
And in the 2nd one…the cameraman hits me in the top of the head…but why argue facts?
LOL THIS is what you guys have? Oh boy…this is going to be a good campaign. You guys are awesome…thanks for letting me stop by! ROFL
“Christine’s Campaign Manager”
Well in that case, we are all in his debt.
Was he one of those people she said begged her not to make that “I’m not a witch” ad?
Or did he say “Wow you look hot. This is totally going to work.”
I like the way people like Matt Moran talk all day long about “freedom” and then try to make sure that nobody can document what his candidate said. It’s similar to the way many conservative blogs spend so much energy creating and policing rules to prevent free expression.
Hey, Evan, now that you’re talking about more job creation in the private sector, can you tell us this:
How much will your business taxes have to be cut (In other words, how much a government subsidy will you need) to justify hiring one new employee in your private sector?
If Matt or Evan would have pulled that priggish crap on me, they would have ended up on the floor because they would have tripped on their shoelaces. 😉
I would not have let my children turn in a seventh grade paper that poorly written.
I’ll donate to the campaign if it helps the guy get a better hair cut.
Is Evan seeking the Republican nomination or a third party?
I’d assume Republican, John, but I can’t find a party affiliation on his website.
Based on that picture, I’m assuming that his profession is “Civil War Reenactor: John Wilkes Booth Specialist”
No, Evan, we know exactly what you were doing in that second video. It was pretty obvious when you turned and put your hand in front of the camera. If you think your “who, me?” crap sounded even a little credible, you have very little self awareness.
The good news is that the real fight might be with Deluca’s primary challenger. Does anyone know his name? Whoever wins that battle will have my support against Evan.
Oh, here’s a better view of what Evan did to the tracker.

The funny thing is that video was uploaded by a CoD supporter. What a bubble to live in, that these people think that would actually help them rather than make them look like thugs. It’s like how Christine was genuinely surprised that nobody else agreed with her view of the separation of church and state. They have their own reality.
Exactly, Puck. And how Evan can cast himself as the victim in that video is beyond me.
Casting oneself (or one’s group) as a victim is the first Immunity Challenge that GOPers have to master.
Watching those videos, I still can’t believe that Mike Castle lost to that.
Moved John’s comment to the Open Thread.
The Christine “supporter,” “Peter Fescue,” is another avatar of Jon Moseley. Grassroots, ‘fescue’ — get it? And to think she won’t pay him for his work!
Republicans are never going to take a majority in State Senate. DeLuca will remain President as long as he is in.
Priorities time. 1 more R and Peterson or another worthy soul for Senate President (and 1 more D in 4 years) or the continued reign of DeLuca?
Fantastic, Evan! I can’t wait for your campaign to swing into action. You know, Delaware thought O’Donnell was a clown but here you come Bozo proud!
Suddenly I’m feeling some passion for voting for DeLuca.
