KMT stifles talent with a host of old cronies - Taiwan
Cabinet Spokesman Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) and Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) debated , while Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Tuan Yi-kang (段宜康) took over the leadership of the New Tide (新潮流) faction. These two originally unrelated events had something in common: both Lin and Tuan are "fifth graders" (五年級) who were born in the 50s of the ROC year count (1961 to 1970), and belong to the student movement generation.

The DPP is led by the baby boom generation (1946 to 1964) today, but those from the student movement generation are almost everywhere. Their active participation can be seen from the Presidential Office, the Executive Yuan, the ruling party, and the Legislative Yuan to local governments and councils. They are undoubtedly both the DPP's and Taiwan's heirs.

But looking back at the blue camp, most party leaders belong to the pre-baby boom generation, and most opposition legislators and councilors belong to the baby boom generation. Only a few of them are about the same age as Lin, 39, Tuan, 40, or DPP Legislator and Department of Youth Development Director Lo Wen-chia (羅文嘉), 37, and they play insignificant roles in the power relations.

In America, the evil is on the inside. In Taiwan, the evil is on the outside knocking hard on the door. Send good vibes to President Chun to be able to defeat the Satan's of Taiwan, The KMT. (Guwau Ming Dong)

1. How the fuck do those bastards have a chance of winning?
Don't your people remember the Mainlander Apartheid under the Chiangs? Lee Teng-hui had to lie like about his believes to get into Chiang II's government.

85% of Taiwan's population is aboriginal or Taiwanese Han. 100% of them should be backing the Taiwanese Solidarity Union, as the DPP is too moderate.

Seems there are a lot of Taiwanese Uncle Toms. At least African-Americans only have J.C. Watts, Charles Barkley (lol), and Clarence Thomas.
