Time: George Gollin 'Making Money on Gov. Shutdown'

[Herbert Spencer]

Notorious academic fraud George Gollin is exploiting the government shutdown to line his pockets with campaign donations, says Time magazine.

Democratic congressional candidate George Gollin, running for Illinois' 13th district, asks for money to help defeat his opponent and "the rest of the Tea Party nihilists [who] will pull the trigger on a government shutdown that will hurt millions of Americans."

Whether it's the global warming fraud or the "government shutdown will hurt millions" fraud, Gollin is either so gullible he believes every leftist lie that comes down the pike, or he thinks you do.

Apparently the "diploma mill doctors are killing millions" lie wasn't getting him any traction, probably because people know that doctors are licensed by the respective states, who carefully check applicants' credentials.

Likewise, the fact is that even if the federal government does suspend its operations, most Americans won't notice a difference in their day-to-day lives.

What Happens During a Government "Shutdown"?

"Essential" government employees such as military members, homeland security officials, vital infrastructure maintenance staff and air traffic controllers will continue reporting to work. The federal government can pay its bills. The Postal Service won't stop delivering mail. Federal courts will continue to hear cases, agents will patrol the border and, Democrat claims to the contrary, Social Security benefits checks will still go out.

George Gollin lies about "government shutdown" the same way he lies about everything else. Only now he's finally figured out a way to make money on the deal.

Even a leftist rag like Slime magazine thinks Gollin is a dipshit. Of course, like most dipshits, he doesn't realize that he is a dipshit at all, let alone exactly how huge a dipshit he really is.

The photog from the Noose-Gayzette thinks he's laughable too, judging by the shots they published.


Vote for me--tired, old, haggard, over the hill George Gollin


A weiner a day keeps the voters away

[Winston Smith]

Government shutdown = total joke
George Gollin = total joke

Another great example of George Gollin's "research" in action. Just like his diploma mill witch hunt, he either didn't bother to check anything before he started his outlandish squawking, or he knows damn well it's not true and is just lying through his fat ass.

Government Shutdown? 36 Facts Which Prove That Almost Everything Is Still Running
By Michael Snyder
October 3, 2013

All of this whining and crying about a "government shutdown" is a total joke. You see, there really is very little reason why this "government shutdown" cannot continue indefinitely because almost everything is still running. 63 percent of all federal workers are still working, and 85 percent of all government activities are still being funded during this "shutdown". Yes, the Obama administration has been making a big show of taking down government websites and blocking off the World War II Memorial, but overall business in Washington D.C. is being conducted pretty much as usual. It turns out that the definition of "essential personnel" has expanded so much over the years that almost everyone is considered "essential" at this point. In fact, this shutdown is such a non-event that even referring to it as a "partial government shutdown" would really be overstating what is actually happening. The following are 36 facts which prove that almost everything is still running during this government shutdown:

#1 According to U.S. Senator Rand Paul, 85 percent of all government activities are actually being funded during this 'government shutdown".

#2 Approximately 1,350,000 "essential" federal employees will continue to work during this "government shutdown".

#3 Overall, 63 percent of the federal workforce will continue to work during this "government shutdown".

#4 The U.S. Postal Service will continue to deliver our mail.

#5 U.S. military personnel will remain on duty and will continue to get paid.

#6 Social Security recipients will continue to get their benefits.

#7 Medicare recipients will continue to get their benefits.

#8 Medicaid recipients will continue to get their benefits.

#9 Food stamp recipients will continue to get their benefits.

#10 Those on unemployment will continue to get their benefits.

#11 Federal retirees will continue to get their pensions.

#12 The federal school lunch program has enough money to go through at least the end of this month.

#13 Public schools all over the country will continue to stay open.

#14 Almost all federal law enforcement officials will continue working.

#15 The Federal Reserve will remain "completely functional".

#16 The Supreme Court will continue to operate normally and federal courts have enough money to keep going for at least two weeks.

#17 TSA employees will continue to molest travelers at our airports.

#18 Air traffic controllers will continue to monitor traffic at our airports.

#19 Hopelessly outmanned border patrol agents will continue to try to stem the tide of illegal immigration.

#20 Visas and passports will continue to be issued by the State Department.

#21 The Veterans Administration will continue to offer substandard medical services, and it will be able to continue processing benefit payments at least for now.

#22 The Obama administration apparently has plenty of money to spend on closing open-air memorials that are usually open to the public 24 hours a day.

#23 The Department of Defense announced the awarding of 94 new contracts worth a combined total of more than 5 billion dollars on September 30th-- the day right before the "government shutdown".

#24 The "government shutdown" has not prevented the new two billion dollar NSA spy center from opening up.

#25 Federal prisons will continue to operate normally.

#26 Amtrak trains will continue to run.

#27 The Patent and Trademark Office will be open.

#28 The Consumer Product Safety Commission will continue to issue product recalls if the products "create an immediate threat to the safety of human life".

#29 The National Weather Service and the National Hurricane Center will continue to track weather patterns.

#30 If the federal government needs to respond to a natural disaster, this "shutdown" will not affect that.

#31 NASA will continue to support the Mars Rover and the two American astronauts up on the International Space Station.

#32 All city employees of the D.C. government have been deemed "essential" and will continue to go to work.

#33 Even though the Obamacare exchanges are not working properly, people will still be able to access them.

#34 The IRS will continue to collect taxes, but it will be suspending punitive audits of conservative organizations.

#35 Barack Obama will continue to get paid for the full duration of this "shutdown".

#36 The U.S. Congress will continue to get paid for the full duration of this "shutdown".

Of course not everything is operating normally during this government shutdown. Government parks are closed. The EPA and the Department of Energy have almost totally closed up shop. But overall, most Americans are not going to notice much of a difference.

And perhaps now is a good time for the American people to evaluate whether or not they actually need a gigantic federal government that wastes enormous mountains of our money.

For example, our federal government recently spent $98,670 to construct a single outhouse in Alaska.

That is more than a lot of Americans pay for their entire houses.

For many more examples like this, please see my previous article entitled "The Waste List: 66 Crazy Ways That The U.S. Government Is Wasting Your Hard-Earned Money".

It is about time that Washington D.C. started experiencing some of the "belt-tightening" that the rest of the country has been going through. For far too long, the fatcats in D.C. have been living in an alternate reality where they have been able to live the high life at our expense. A recent blog post by Daniel Greenfield discussed how this shutdown is going to affect the alternate reality that the Obamas have been living in:

The government shutdown has forced Obama to make do with only a quarter of his 1,701 person staff. That would leave 436 "vital" employees. The 90 people who look after his living quarters would be slashed to 15 to "provide minimum maintenance and support".

Buckingham Palace, which is twelve times the size of the White House and has its own clockmaker, only has an 800 person staff. King Harald V of Norway and his court make do with 152 staffers. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden gets by with 203.

On Twitter, Michelle Obama announced that she is unable to Tweet on her own without the aid of all of her sixteen assistants; many of whom take home six figure salaries. There are more directors, associate directors and deputy associate directors on Michelle Obama's staff than there were in George Washington's entire administration.

Presidents have fought wars and made peace, explored and annexed vast territories and built a nation out of a handful of colonies with fewer senior staffers than are needed to handle Michelle Obama's Twitter account.

Oh the humanity! Will Michelle Obama ever tweet again? And how will the White House continue to function without at least one projectionist on duty at the White House 24 hours a day?

No wonder Barack Obama is so upset about this shutdown.

In the end, this shutdown could turn out to be very good for America. We have a government that is wildly out of control and that desperately needs to be reigned in.

During the Obama administration, federal debt held by the public has risen by 90 percent, and overall federal government spending has risen by a whopping 317 percent since 1990.

So is it really a bad thing that the federal government has been forced to cut back for a little while?

Our politicians can whine and cry all they want. They won't be getting any sympathy from me.

Another Gollin lie. How many babies died this time?

[Virtual Bison]

This run for Congress is just the latest in Gollin's delusions of grandour. I would bet he won't win the primary.

[Armando Ramos]

This run for Congress is just the latest in Gollin's delusions of grandeur. I would bet he won't win the primary.

I bet he won't finish second in the primary either. Normal people think he's a wild-eyed leftist nutjob, and wild-eyed leftist nutjobs think he's a dork. Callis will get the normal votes, Green will get the nutjob vote. Gollin will get all the people who think it's a good idea to deny medical care to sick and starving babies.

[Don Dresden]

I swear this is not photoshopped. This is haggard, over-the-hill stalker George Gollin and one of his Babe Brigade at a "protest" outside U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis' Champaign office yesterday.

That um gal is a two bagger if I ever saw one. If it was a Hollywood casting call for the homeliest excuses for womanhood on the planet you couldn't do any better than what Gollin gets.

I'm thinking he surrounds himself with disgusting, repulsive people so he won't seem quite as disgusting and repulsive. Sorry George, it's not working. Just makes people think, "shitbirds of a feather...."




Stupid and ugly, not a good combination for an um female--unless they are trying to catch George Gollin's eye. He likes 'em that way, just ask his wife, Mel.

[Armando Ramos]

OMFG! That's one hideously mutated mutant! Actually, they are all hideous, but that one is particularly hideous.

Has another of Gollin's physics experiments gone awry? Has there been some sort of radiation leak at the Fermilab? Has Mrs. Hyphen stopped experimenting with mutant hogs and started in on humans?

I think it's time somebody took a geiger counter and did a sweep of the entire Gollin Plantation and all its inhabitants.

Somebody needs to check out what Grandma and Donald are really doing down there in the basement.

Has Champaign become The Island of Dr. Moreau?


George Gollin, center, a Democratic candidate for the Illinois 13th Congressional District seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Taylorville, holds a mutant at a protest Friday outside Davis' Champaign office. The protest, organized by MoveOn.org, the Campaign for Better Healthcare and Progressive Democrats of America, was held to demand that Davis vote to end the government shutdown.

[Don Dresden]

Has Mrs. Hyphen stopped experimenting with mutant hogs and started in on humans?

You may be onto something, Armando. Gollin knows that nobody with a fully functioning brain would vote for a putz like him. Thus he needs to increase the brain-damaged, mutant, and zombie population.

He's creating a horde of circus freaks and mental defectives that he will bus around from polling place to polling place on election day. No one will notice because they look and act pretty much like all the other Democrat voters.

Then his wife will eradicate the evidence by having them all butchered and sold to the unsuspecting public for food.

Soylent Green is Gollin voters! The horror, the horror...

[Winston Smith]

I knew they let dead people vote in Illinois, but I didn't know children got to play too. Wonder what Gollum says to them when he's "pressing the flesh" whilst on the stump?


Hello, boys. Do you like movies about gladiators? Want to learn to sing my campaign song? My daughter and I like to call it The SMDFMA Song. Want to know what that stands for? Let's go over here to one of these little tents and I'll explain it to you, just like I used to explain it to my daughter. Have you ever seen a grown man naked?...
