No. The ROK government just gives me the right to pay taxes.

Only a self-hating fool would vote for Chung.

or, if he wins, then I know I have to step up my plans to get out of here.

I know. I’m just lazy.

Here’s one report and one editorial cartoon about it:

Great cartoon. But it’s preaching to the choir.

It would be great if this torpedoed his chances to get elected, but you know the true believers got a woody when they heard him say “comrade,” and he does have that game show host kind of plastic charisma, so he’s probably still a contender.

The “true believers” are already voting for him, so it makes no difference.

Without the capital relocation to garner ??-area votes, I think his chances are much slimmer than Roh’s were.

And yes, the term used was ??.

I can’t find the post on Chung using the term “comrade,” so I’ll just post my questions here.

It was ?? that he used, right? For you Japanese or Chinese speakers, is ?? the same term used for a “like-minded” comrade?

Is this comrade comment on tape? Do they have him saying this where people can see it? If so, I don’t see him winning the presidency. That would rob just too many people the wrong way.
