Probably one-quarter of the KMT's nominees at city and county level have been accused of some form of corruption. It is interesting to contemplate how its strategy may prove ineffectual, or even backfire, because the KMT's "sacred mission" to reveal corruption in government may only serve to draw attention to its own less than perfect track record on this score.
Since the pan-blues don't understand themselves and don't understand others, this policy is likely to backfire, and they will only succeed in digging their own grave.
