John Olver is my congressman…

…on a personal level he is a friendly fellow. During the last presidential election we chatted as I held my McCain Palin sign at the polling station.

However politically he is about as out there as you can get so this article at Big Government didn’t surprise me in the least:

Olver was recently ranked as the nation’s most liberal congressman — a record he had in 2005, as well. With a quick look over at his record, it’s easy to see why he earns that moniker. Olver was one of only twenty-two congressmen to vote against a resolution merely expressing support for democracy in Cuba. Instead, he’s supported resolutions to impeach then-President Bush.

This goes to show that being a nice guy doesn’t qualify you for high office.
