Ready For Change

Thursday, March 20, 2008

I believe most of you out there know that Taiwan is going to hold the Taiwanese presidential elections in 2008. It will happen in less than 24 hours later.

Just when Obama is shouting "Yes we can" I have watched a very very good commercial on TVBS-News on Channel 49. I think some of you may know I'm a long time pan-blue supporter, but all the KMT commercials or talks have not moved me.

However, this commercial is very different. Like what Paul Pott's voice has done to me, this commercial is so well done that I'm nearly moved to tears again.



Commercial from the KMT President and Vice President Candidates


None of other presidential elections have not been viewed as important as this 2008 election. It will completely seal the fate of KMT, and it will also decide if DPP will thoroughly reform. Although through all kinds of polls and studies, things look good for the KMT. However DPP has really been proven to be a party which knows how to handle elections well.

322.

I don't have the right to vote yet. But I am really impressed by how far and how well-developed Taiwan's democracy is. Every Taiwanese has the power to decide their future. They all have an equal share of Taiwan's future.

You have a greater sense of belonging towards the country if you have that power to decide the country's future.
