I always liked him.

RB, like Newt, is a very smart guy.

People may call them kooks but they're pretty well read and well informed having been privy to many briefings we can only guess about.

God helps those who help themselves.

Congressman, patent holder, Navy engineer, space program. Heck and I always voted for him just for his 2nd Amendment stance.

Nice article about a nice guy,his office was always helpful to me on a personal level and on a local government level his office always helped our town and was in our annual parade for many years.

Roscoe was my Rep. and got the shaft from Maryland. I have met him many times and is a very interesting fellow.

That was a good article thanks for sharing. Roscoe must be one of the only recent congress members with any sense.

Great article, thanks for posting.

Hope I'm getting around that well at 87 ... if I even make it to 87.

Met Mr. Bartlett in Oakland (Garrett Co.) not long after he was elected to the House. He asked about what things he could do to support constituents while in Office. I replied, "Stand up for and support the second amendment."

He did just that.



That gerrymandering thing MOM perpetuated still pi$$e$ in me off.

Hope he lives to be 125.

^^ This!

When I first moved to Carroll County, I went to offices on Main Street to get a U. S. flag that was flown over the Capitol.

The reps there gave me a flag and said to just mail in payment.

Now my rep is Chris Van Assss.

I miss Roscoe... One of the good ones.

Mr. Roscoe Bartlett helped save my mother from deportation. He's always welcome at my house if he ever wants to have dinner.

I've spoken to and corresponded by letters and emails with Mr. Bartlett many times over the years. He is a first-class gentleman and a genuinely nice, caring guy who served in office for the benefit of the people of his district. He is American in the truest sense. I wish him the best.

Mr. Bartlett was labeled "the oddest congressman” by his colleagues since so many of them are worthless pieces of excrement who don't give a damn about anyone except themselves.

I think I saw a "For Sale" sign on his place outside Frederick when I went out that way to see my mother.

Great story. Interesting man.

Always loved Roscoe. True American.

I had the privilege to vote for him once when I was a Fredneck. The only congressman from Md. that I made me proud of my vote.
