U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md, speaking to the owner of an automotive service center during a campaign stop. (via officialssay)

This fellow represents the district right across the river from me; he will most likely be voted out, in large part because of an opportunistic gerrymander that lumped the western suburbs of Baltimore/DC in with the rural western part of Maryland that he was already representing.

The worst part: I couldn’t be happier that someone like this is being voted out in such a manner. He represents his constituents well, and in case you couldn’t tell by the above quote, that is a really terrifying thing. (He also believes that government student loans are unconstitutional—so unconstitutional that he invoked the Holocaust. Yeah.)
