Wu urges DPP to fulfill duty to voters

Tsai Chih-chang, a DPP spokesman, criticized the KMT by exercising “majority bullying” to send the trade agreement direct for second reading and reviewing by all lawmakers as one package without close examination article by article.

He said the DPP lawmakers will not return to the Legislative Yuan, but will make use of the one-month period to visit grassroots voters across the island to explain the ECFA's adverse impact before the next extra legislative session is held in August.

DPP Legislator Ker Chien-min said the KMT, which holds a strong majority in the legislature, should take full responsibility for the negative consequences from the bills they plan to pass without the DPP's participation.

He pointed out that are still disputes concerning the revisions of some bills proposed by the Executive Yuan (Cabinet).

KMT Legislator Lin Yi-shih reaffirmed the determination to continue keeping the operations of the Legislative Yuan during the extraordinary week-long session until July 14 despite DPP boycott.

Maintaining the majority seats in the parliament, Lin said the KMT should not evade its responsibility to push forward necessary modifications of the bills to maximize the benefits for the well-being of people.

The proposed draft revisions of the bills slated for legislators' review cover the Civil Service Employment Act, the Civil Service Retirement Act, and the Civil Service Survivor Relief Act.

Action will also be taken concerning proposed amendments to other bills like the Disaster Prevention and Protection Act and the National Health Insurance Act and a draft law on farm village rejuvenation.

Lin said the KMT's legislative caucus will start holding meetings on Monday to build consensus among KMT members.

They will also incorporate the suggestions and views held by the DPP lawmakers in spite of their absence, Lin emphasized.

The caucus will encourage KMT lawmakers to actively participate in the meetings to get at least some the necessary jobs done so that the taxpayers will not criticize the legislators for doing nothing except drawing payment for the special session.

None of DPP lawmakers has yet initiated a plan of voluntarily forfeiting their payment for no-shows by skipping the legislative meetings.

The pot (KMT) is calling the kettle (DPP) black!

Considering how the KMT-controlled LY boycotted nearly everything Chen proposed in his second term, they really have no standing here. Furthermore, they are not keeping their commitments to give this a fair and open reading and are still trying to ram this through in violation of the rules and procedures of the LY show that the KMT still has no respect for the rule of law.

CHEN is in JAIL, SHAME on YOU!!!

@ludahai_ twn
The DPP doesn’t care about the Rules of Law...
The DPP cares more of their own political power for themselves than concerning to our Country and people’s welfare.
The DPP have learned the art of campaigns of HATRED to win election through advertising of violence inside and outside of the LY.
That’s the TRADEMARK of Devil Political Party.

@dppzuck -- and the KMT continues to hold on to or sell for a tidy profit the assets it stole from the people during the one-party state/White Terror Days

@carltanong -- Actually, the rule of law in Taiwan improved during the Chen administration. It is under President Horsey that the rule of law has slipped.

Hatred? You mean the campaign adverts in which the kmt used images of Hitler, bin Laden, Hussein, and the 9/11 towers burning in their anti-Chen adverts?!?!? You are a great comedian... you need to quit your day job as propaganda chief for your local KMT chapter.

@carltanong

Stop pretending to "love" your country if you openly proclaim to hate the DPP - it means you hate millions of your fellow-countrymen.

Try to control your own exclamations of hatred and do an effort to be more reasonable without getting carried away by exuberant nationalistic emotions. Not DPP supporters, but people like yourself are more likely to start "an internal war" should your "vision" for Taiwan not come true. Something you wrote about in a past comment:

"In time of INTERNAL CONFLICTS. I (carltanong) will stand and hold the flag of Republic of China."

Meaning?
Fight fellow-citizens?

Carlnatong, stop shouting your cheap-sounding and childish "I hate all that's Green" remarks and try to grow up. You'll be a happier and potentially less dangerous individual.

@andyschleck
The word hate and hatred is not in my dictionary. Pretending to "love" my country? Then you are childish with cheap sounding and false raw accusation in supporting the DPP evil principles.

Try to think and control your sense and read it carefully... "Without a Country. Where is your home? Without a home. Will your family have any future"?
You say I’m pretending that I love my country. You read carefully again... "My country R.O.China and my countrymen are my LIFE". Do you understand what I mean?

I write: "In time of INTERNAL CONFLICTS. I (carltanong) will stand and hold the flag of Republic of China".
+And you added "Meaning? Fight fellow-citizens?"+.
My answer to you and the greens are simple. Not only me but many even the Taiwanese Chinese and the Taiwan Aborigines will fight against you and the greens. Because it’s too hot for the Red Sun to come back again in our beautiful island.

Just post all the comments from the past and present of my statement. And let all the readers online read it.

And thank you for your advice "You'll be a happier and potentially less dangerous individual"! But I don’t buy your senseless advice. Because I’m a young successful energetic man.

My advice to you.
Better grow up than to be a stubborn supporter and take for granted from the Devil Political Party and the Greens dreamers.

GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND ANDY.

Unless you're trying to crack jokes in your comments, you need to seek psychological assistance.

Mr. Carltanong,

Those millions of Taiwanese who did not vote for the KMT are also part of Taiwan. You talk about "fighting against the Greens". That would involve fighting against 40% of 17 million voters who did not vote KMT in 2008. I see the point of one commentator above: your mindset is a dangerous one.

""Just post all the comments from the past

for Carltanong:

I did because I was curious. This is for you, Japan-hating person:

There are lots of good things you need learn from Japanese people. As a Taiwanese, I also feel some emotional distance from Japan as a country but I love the Japanese people. These are kind, polite, and honest people and also have good manners. They try never to inconvenience anyone. Compared to your words, Chinese people appear rather rough and coward.

My only comment (7/20) can bring up so many greens but maybe just only one with different pen-name with unhealthy mind. Heheh. Very interesting. It shows that the greens are really full of KAP L_N. So narrow minded. But it’s nice to hear from all of you but just only and only one greenish against all peace loving Taiwanese. Even my Japanese friend who was drinking with me was shaking his head with disbelieved what Sir my8words wrote "i love the Japanese". Heheh.

@my8words

If you're a Taiwanese of Chinese descent, then you're a disgrace to your ancestors. I have nothing against Taiwanese independence or whatever you wanna call it as I'm not interested in politics whatsoever. But saying you LOVE a certain group of people who have been despising Chinese (as in ethnicity, not nationality) people is beyond me. I admire them, I don't love them!

And YES I love carltanong!

"can bring up so many greens"

Where is YOUR support? Maybe ask your Japanese "friend" to have pity on you and post a comment?

"but maybe just only one with different pen-name "

That's your specialty, isn't it? Just try not to SHOUT or we will know it's you.

I love him too. I just disagree with about 99% of what he says and thinks.

Chen is a good lawyer and an amazing crooked president where his wife did the corruption, bribes and other sources of money under Chen guidance, which he denied of any knowledge. When a corrupt person in power, he did was to change judiciary system, and installing various dummies and cronies such as policemen, judges and prosecutors across branch offices during his terms in order to get exemption even violated every law of land after his term is over. All the good things done by ex-Pres. Chen or any person will become useless after revelation of his true beings. Would you drink a glass of water with cockroach inside? Pick your poison: KMT or DPP?
