UPDATE: Chow admits to internal administration tampering of her own website poll when votes were “cast contrary to Olivia’s position”. Only in the world of the the NDP!
Oh, dear… This is embarrassing.

Flashback to Lorne Calvert’s “Raise A Flag” poll-rigging fiasco. What is it about New Democrat politicians that renders them incapable of accepting rejection from the voters?
You’d think they’d be used to it by now.
Morning update –
Yes! (20%, 112 Votes)
No! (80%, 462 Votes)
Total Voters: 574
8:05 EST, December 11, 2008
And then….
Olivia, thy last name is Chavez!
Update – Now the admitted poll “resetter” is claiming her website was hacked.
I recall an NDP strategist from Vancouver whining on CTV’s Mike Duffy that “the NDP is not a socialist party!!”
Hmm, what do you call rescinding the tax cuts for the corporations and spreading that wealth to the middle/lower class? Santa comes early?
freeping Olivia Chow polls? wowee. you guys are cool.
Obviously Jeff has lacks a frontal lobe. Had not had the surgery, he might have been able to associate the symbols 10:25 and 10:45 to particular times of the day.
With one Jeff would have been able to associate the vote totals at those times and also be able to spot the differences in the vote between those two times.
To save Jeff further embarrassment, I’ll just explain it, I hope no one minds.
The point of the post wasn’t to freep the poll, Jeff, it was to point out that Oliva Chow freeped her own poll.
Cheers,
lance
Jeffie, they “adjusted” the poll before any freeping took place. Then they took it down altogether, to cover the “adjustment”.
Are you dumb?
Dave said:
” I will never understand the socialist mentality. Why can’t they just look at the ,reality of what happens to people and governments under their policies…”
I believe it was the esteemed Albert Einstein who said:
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

Lying socialist cockroaches scurry away from the blogosphere flashlight. Like they couldn’t see it coming either. Parasitic twits.
I dont even know what Layton sees in her, shes quite an…unfortunate looking woman.
Jeffie’s got the same problem as all the dippers, he can’t add or subtract, and believes everyone else is just as stupiod.
Get out the calculator Jeffie, and have someone with a brain teach you how to use it.
Advocates of the NDP are “Prophets of a Phailed Philosophy.”
They are certainly Communists.
Anne McGrath is the President of the New Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada. In the 1984 federal election, she ran as candidate for the Communist Party of Canada in Edmonton-Strathcona, placing seventh.
Just on the news at 7:30 PST, the Liberal governments of Chretien and Martin acted illegaly by increasing EI funds to bolster medicare and create a “balanced” budget. Ignatief, new Liberal leader, is said by some newscasters to have opined that Harper is going to ‘cook’ the books before the next budget. So now we have past masters that have cooked the books trying to make a pre-emptive strike against the elected government.
Ooh, this is fun – on October 14, Chow received 40.8% of the vote in her riding, down from 46% in 2006. Using her own “logic”, she’s even less legit than the CPC.

poor jeff.
photographer without focus.
Was it the long term exposure to developing chemicals before the digital age that caused this mental impairment Jeff?
Oh so she’s a Red Guard. I see…
(Even though I’m not as cranky as I was before, I still don’t give a rats ass who she is)
NDP basically sucks at free enterprise. Its always big government with very little innovation. Look at every province that they have maintained political power in. It has been a failure of economics. I don’t follow ‘Chows’ political platform so I can’t criticize her but maybe a person should start looking at all the ‘3 stooges’ political platforms. Just in case they decide to cease power again.
Power to the people trying to protect their own money from confiscation by marxist nutbars!
Commie Zipperhead!
Kate this is all getting too easy.
I’m tempted to call her office to get a statement on the record, but I don’t have recording capabilities…
Why don’t you e-mail her, Kate?
maybe have the call on speaker and then put a voice recorder beside it XD
Where is her hubby these days? That little jackbooted creep seems to have vanished….I hear he shows up from time to time on his news service, the CBC, and then disappears back into his spider hole. There is no more devious or divisive politician in the country today than Jack Layton. Even more than Dion, Layton deserves to be thrown onto the political funeral pyre sooner rather than later.
omggg… now she is claiming that her site got hacked = =
Olivia Chow’s Website Hacked http://oliviachow.ca/mp/?p=849
I live in her “community” she’s my MP.
This came in the mail
BTW. “Sharp” has no business being in the same sentence as Olivia.
“COMMUNITY UPDATE”
Blah blah blah (insert communist propaganda boilerplate)
For the first time in half a century, productivity fell and we now work more to produce less.
Facing a serious economic downturn where stock markets, oil prices, central bank interest rates and consumer confidence are sinking, it is time to change course. The same old tax cutting, slash and burn, laissez-faire approach will not work.
To protect jobs, pensions, savings, homes and deal with the real economy, the federal government must take bold and strategic steps. But both the Conservative Throne Speech and the Economic Statement do not match the urgency or the depth of what is required, nor will it ease the sleepless nights of many Canadians. As New Democrats, we are putting forward a five point plan.
1) Introduce financial regulations that protect consumers. Stronger oversight to track the $75 billion already given to secure banks. Cap credit card interest rates and transaction fees (as done in most other countries)
2) Boast (sic) productivity and combine environmental protection with economic growth. Put a price on carbon and harness the sun, wind, water and biomass. And through innovation, make us leaders in renewable technology; create green collar jobs like retro-fitting our homes and buildings.
Just a sampling of her sharpness.
It just gets worst from there.
Yes, a communist harping about productivity…how quaint…..perhaps the yield from the collective is down a little this year??
The poll-rigging behaviour sometimes known as “freeping” is a common tactic used by right-wing groups to get public opinion in their favour. “If you have to rig polls in favour of your opinion” said the administrator, “it says more about your core ethics and the weakness of your position, than it does the issue.”
Pssssssssssssssst. Hey stoopid.
One person one vote. Obviously there aren’t enough people that care about your opinion to either tell others about your poll or even visit it to see what’s up.
YET. People that have an opinion on the issue, find out from a website they visit about the poll’s existance and then go express their vote?
That’s rigging?????
No. That’s the “will of the PEOPLE”…AKA “Freedom”.
Think of the children and resign….yesterday.
I got right ticked off when I looked this morning and saw what had transpired last night, and then when I saw her press release that stated that her website had been hacked, I just about choked on my breakfast!! I know that I was only able to vote once, and there were many others that voted around the same time I did. I sent her an email today that said:
“Ms. Chow:
The only point I can see when you say that your website was hacked is that not all of the voters were from your constituency…but considering this was the only NDP poll out there for those of us not so enchanted by this coalition to actually vote in, and that not every constituency in Canada has an NDP representative in parliament, should you be surprised that people from other constituencies grabbed hold of the situation? The votes were not rigged, they were given freely. And for you to say that we are a “slimy few” is very underhanded. We were a group of people who saw that there was maybe a way that our voices could be heard by the NDP. I guess that we were wrong, you do not want to hear what the people of Canada want to say, you just want to be able to go ahead with your party’s agenda.”
Poll? What poll? There are no polls and there weren’t any.
[sarcasm off]
If you did not read SDA, you wouldn’t know, eh?

This means that 59.2% of people living in her riding didn’t vote for her. Given the role of the NDP in the coalition of the “majority” I’m sure she’d be fine if the candidates that ran against her shared her parliamentary seat as, after all, 59.2% of the population of her riding voted for them. A coalition of candidates could take over from Taliban Jack also given the anemic nature of his showing in his own riding.
Olivia might Chow our votes on her website, but we will not be silenced.

get Harper’s guys to help out:-)))))
It’s just like the junta, organized well before the event and intended to show only one result. Socialists and Communists have historically shown that they just can’t be trusted with anything, period.
Look out ! Bourque just linked – wk will bark.
Who do these lefties think they are! this isn’t a personal website, what they’ve done here is tried to manipulate the voices of the people in their own ridings! what a perfect example of how they are trying to shut down the voices of the people!!! THEY MUST BE STOPPED!!
Again and again—-give me 20 seconds with Jack and I will make a Mn out of him—Don’t yousee what Toron—I mean Canada is comming to ? Social housing that’s were Chow and Taliban Jack lived–does anyone anywhere see a crime in this ?
