No Joke--Stalker George Gollin Announces Run for Congress

[Albert Hidel]

The big announcement--the one all Republicans in the 13th Congressional District of IL have been hoping for--idiot marxist George Gollin is running for the Dimocrap nomination!

Looks like it was a bad hair day for The Sphincter--or would that be a bad scalp day?? Clearly the photog knows a quality source of amusement and public ridicule when he sees one.

A "small crowd"???? Since when is a dozen people and a horse considered a crowd?

Do you think he discusses the phallic qualities of his food with dear old mom the way his daughter does?

UI physicist joins race for 13th District

George Gollin announces his candidacy to run in the Democratic primary for the 13th Congressional District at the Champaign County Fair on Tuesday July 23, 2013. Tuesday was Democrat Day at the fair.

URBANA -- There are now four candidates -- two Democrats and two Republicans -- in next year's 13th Congressional District race.

George Gollin, 60, a University of Illinois physicist from Champaign, announced Tuesday that he is joining the race with incumbent Republican Rep. Rodney Davis of Taylorville, GOP challenger Erika Harold of Urbana, and Democrat Ann Callis, a retired judge from Edwardsville.

In announcing his candidacy before a small crowd on Democrat Day at the Champaign County Fair, Gollin noted that Congress used to "put alliances aside and work together to solve problems that we face. They would compromise to effect solutions to the problems that confronted us. Alas, it is no longer this way."

Gollin asserted that "we need different people in Congress."

Without mentioning Callis, he said that "Congress is a place that's filled with lawyers. Now the law is an honorable profession, but lawyers are trained to argue and trained to dispute facts. What we need are people who work with facts."

What is needed in Washington, Gollin said, are "more facts and less argument."

Gollin begins the campaign -- he formally declared his candidacy last Thursday by filing with the Federal Election Commission -- at an organizational and financial disadvantage to Callis.

She reported last week that she had already had raised $226,076 as of June 30, and had $211,288 on hand. Callis also the organizational backing of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Gollin said he was unconcerned about Callis' finances and her head start.

"It's early on. Both of us are very early in this process. I'm known in universities. She's known, I assume, in the legal community," he said.

Nor was he dissuaded by the DCCC's involvement.

"The first time that Rush Holt, who is the older of the two physics Ph.D.s in Congress, won an election for Congress, he wasn't the DCCC's candidate either," Gollin said of the New Jersey Democrat serving his eighth term in the U.S. House. "His advice was, 'Just don't worry about the DCCC. Run a good race, learn how to be a good candidate.'

"David Gill (the Democratic candidate in the 13th District last year) was not the DCCC's pick. I find that David is a wonderful person. I find that his views tend to be close to mine in the things we've discussed. So I think it's best to run the best race I can and not worry about things I can't control."

He said he didn't have a fundraising goal.

"Enough so that I win all the elections that I'm ever in," he joked.

Gollin, who has been exploring a congressional race since April, said he has been encouraged to run by his academic colleagues.

"What I've been doing is talking to my colleagues in higher ed and mostly physics. Everybody has said that this is great," he said. "There's been nobody I've spoken to who's a scientist who's been anything other than wildly enthusiastic about this."

Gollin said he would continue his academic work at the UI this fall.

"I like everything I do. I love to teach. I love to do research with my students. This campaign stuff is very interesting. I think I have an idea of how to balance that all," said Gollin, who has been at the UI since 1989. "There will be gaps in which I can do the candidate thing."

In the spring, he said he will go on unpaid leave.

"I'm going to be taking a salary hit and I will stay on unpaid leave until I lose an election or decide to retire from the House," he said.

So how many people are going to die in Liberia because Gollin butted in without any knowledge whatsoever and had a legally operating legitimate medical school shut down? It's not as if black Africans have any need for doctors.

I like the defense used when he got the U of Illinois sued. Illinois courts don't care what black Africans think. Even though we are as guilty as hell, you can't sue us because of the 11th Amendment.

Actually you can, but you have to file a claim first. Defendants usually couch the argument in something vague like the 11th Amendment because they don't want to tip off the plaintiff how to save his complaint.

The positive aspect was that it confirmed that Gollin is a "state actor" when commiting his various offenses against humanity, thus creating a federal civil rights cause of action for his victims and making the taxpayers of Illinois financially responsible for his malfeasance.

Did they ever trust George to teach anything higher than intro Physics? As he wasn't all that impressive at research or teaching, he should do well as a politician. They are all useless so he's well qualified.

Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't do or teach run for office.

I think I might get involved in Callas' campaign. This asshole needs to be stopped.

Look at this guy. He's just a tired, old man, desperately grasping at his last (or only) chance at glory. Too self-absorbed and delusional to realize that younger, sharper people have already passed him by. Yesterday's papers on their way to the dustbin.

The only votes he's going to get are from those who pity retards, homeless derelicts and those similarly situated, or Republican sympathizers who want to make it easier for Rodney Davis to stay in office.
