During the past few elections the KMT has continually emphasized its track record as the party of the economic miracle, political democratization and social stability. But by one of the quirks of history the public doesn't seem very grateful to the party that successfully led Taiwan through crises such as the shelling of Kinmen in 1958, derecognition by the US in 1979, and the recent Asian economic crash.
幾次選舉，國民黨的訴求也不脫經濟奇蹟、政治民主、社會安定等政績，但歷史的弔詭在，帶台灣闖過八二三砲戰、中美斷交、亞洲金融危機的國民黨政府，看起來民眾並沒有感謝它。
