Mr. Chen knows to choose ground and stand ground. Whether you like his ground or not is another matter. If Mr LTH is allowed to open his big mouth any time, so should Mr. Chen be.<br /><br />The truth is that Mr. Chen has been protecting Ms. Tsai as much as he can.<br /><br />The truth is that it has been Frank Hsieh & Gang as well as the New Tide Gang (with their association with China and China-controlled media, e.g. Want-Want group) that have been on Ms. Tsai's hair. Ms. Tsai has allowed herself to be entangled into these two gangs' networks.<br /><br />In the mean time, what has Ms. Tsai accomplished? What ground has she chosen to stand? Zero! What qualifications has she shown to people that she can run the nation? Zero! Being able to run a department as a manager is totally different from running a nation.<br /><br />To begin with, Ms. Tsai does not have the quality of a leader to lead the nation's army. Ms. Tsai being the president of Taiwan will be a disaster to the Taiwanese.<br /><br />For a qualification-wise questionable Ms. Tsai, Mr. Chen should go to jail? What kind of humanistic principle is that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-36147617222684659962015-01-07T00:26:15.518+08:002015-01-07T00:26:15.518+08:00Thanks for another excellent essay.

One other thing I realized this week is how much of a problem Ko is going to be for Chu. It was easy for Chu to look hip when Hau was his counterpart but Ko has done so much reform right when Chu is debuting as The Reformer that when Chu talked about illegal buildings today, the media immediately asked if he was copying Ko. Not to mention Chu has been quite accommodating of just the construction factions Ko is challenging. Chu might end up wishing Yu had beaten him so he wouldn't have to worry about this head to head matchup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
