I thought Ma had to leave the KMT after being indicted. Why is he back as their nominee or have I gotten something wrong?<BR/><BR/>Did they bend the rules yet again?Angry Taiwanese Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548464352548182194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-40665008400910102522007-05-08T06:46:00.000+08:002007-05-08T06:46:00.000+08:00Yup.

Probably it will read: <I><BR/><BR/>Now two years into the Hsieh Adminstration, there is growing disappointment with Hsieh's hardline stance on China. Elected as a moderate, Hsieh has revealed himself to be ideological, rigid, and high-handed. <BR/></I><BR/><BR/>You know, because ideological, rigid, and unpragmatic people become hugely successful trial lawyers, like Chen Shui-bian and Frank Hsieh. *sigh* As long as Beijing writes the scripts, the foreign media isn't going to get much right here. But we'll have fun skinning their presentations. <BR/><BR/>MichaelMichael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-32038226198348579972007-05-08T05:55:00.000+08:002007-05-08T05:55:00.000+08:00"It is correct that Taiwan is resisting Communist ..."It is correct that Taiwan is resisting Communist rule. Remember Chiang Kai-shek? However, this does not mean that Taiwan is resisting China rule. Formally, Taiwan has been ruled by China for more than 5 decades, The Republic of China, that is"<BR/><BR/> I strongly disagree that Taiwan is even a mere "Republic of China"..Taiwan is simply Taiwan Mr. Zhj. If Taiwan was a "ROC" it would rule China, Mongolia, and Tibet as stated in the current ROC Constitution. But of course we all know that this is false, thus the constitution should be amended to reflect the truth as well as the nation's name which is "Taiwan". Taiwan is not a "ROC" it is Taiwan.<BR/><BR/>Hey Michael I was just wondering, what will the media say if Frank Hseih got elected but then pretty much did what President Chen was trying to do all along which is promote Taiwan's sovereignty? Also if I recall correctly, all of the DPP candidates advocated doing away with Chen's "four" noes. Isn't that being even more pro-Taiwan? (which is the right thing to do) I guess the media skipped that important notice there. <BR/>The media is so funny.

I already heard someone today who I know is pro-blue use the same word. I can just see it now, that word being repeated ad infinitum.Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03648566751513055517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-36051325072638340362007-05-07T22:23:00.000+08:002007-05-07T22:23:00.000+08:00A poster commented on the wrong post, so I moved i...A poster commented on the wrong post, so I moved it here:<BR/><BR/>+++++++++++<BR/><BR/> zhj said...<BR/><BR/> Michael, you are wrong about this:<BR/> "The current government is resisting rule by China, not rule by Communism."<BR/><BR/> It is correct that Taiwan is resisting Communist rule.
