This is how the KMT rolls (中國國民黨就是這樣)

Taiwan's current president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) frequently speaks about his "clean image," and after running an "anti-corruption" campaign, he told the public that "things would be better right away" (馬上就會好) when he took office on May 20, 2008.

However, things in Taiwan have gotten worse since that date in all kinds of ways.

But one thing hasn't changed a bit: the KMT's way of doing business.

In Taipei's Da-an District (大安區), for example, KMT legislator Diane Lee (李慶安) was recently forced out of office after a scandal which revealed that she had held office illegally for 14 years while possessing dual nationality and had regularly lied to the public about it. A by-election to fill her vacated legislative seat is scheduled for tomorrow -- Saturday, March 28, 2009.

Read what the KMT was caught doing just two days before this election:

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Taipei City councilors yesterday accused the Taipei City Government [led by the KMT's Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌)] of abusing municipal resources to campaign for Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) candidate Chiang Nai-shin (蔣乃辛) in tomorrows legislative by-election, and urged municipal officials to maintain neutrality.

About a dozen *staff from the Taipei City Department of Civil Affairs* [台北市政府民政局] visited a traditional market in Da-an District (大安) to *hand out pamphlets urging residents to vote tomorrow.* However, *two people wearing the departments vest* were also spotted *calling on residents to vote for Chiang.*

Its a serious violation of administrative neutrality and we need to stop public servants from campaigning for a specific candidate in such an obvious way [...]

Notice the vests the women are wearing. They belong to the Taipei City Department of Civil Affairs -- under a KMT government.

That's the way they roll -- and they do it in broad daylight! This time, it was captured on video.

I sure hope that the voters (even in the so-called "deep blue" Da-an District) will have enough sense to NOT vote for either of the pan-blue candidates in this election -- or in any other election, for that matter. Only then will Taiwan get back to making the kind of improvements that occurred due to the efforts of those who have worked so hard to build democracy here.

@whenchinshun Another Chinese KMT supporter who uses Simplified Chinese and approves of illegal (undemocratic) electioneering. Why am I not surprised?

@TimMaddog 朋友，你不懂中文嗎？為何跟我講英文，我不喜歡共產黨，但是也不­喜歡背叛自己閩南祖先的臺灣人，認同中華民國的臺灣人我敬佩！

[TimMaddog]

@whenchinshun 我有寫什麼會讓你覺得我不懂中文？ 我用英文的原因就是因為這裡不只有你一個人而已。 你喜不喜歡共產黨、中國國民黨關我什麼屁事？ 可是 在這個短片之下你寫的那種評論 你最基本給我的印象就是－你不支持民主，只會支持權力主義。

[TimMaddog]

@whenchinshun (Part 2) 另外，不是每一個台灣人都有「閩南祖先」。 所以，那些人在「背叛」什麼？ 而且，有歐洲祖先的美國人認為他自己是美國人，並不表示他否認他­的祖先。 你們這些反對台灣的人，為什麼喜歡用這種無聊的「邏輯」？

想要認同台灣的人就可以認同台灣，不必問別人「我可不可以？」

穿了民政局的衣服就是代表民政局, 民政局要負責, 否則就是那人擅自拿民政局的衣服, 那那人也犯法了, 需法律制裁!

KMT always says they are abiding by the law, but they are the exception! They are ABOVE THE LAW!

Chinese KMT have no shame.
