[Opinion]If His Political Belief Changed

Candidate Roh Moo-hyun, after winning Incheon primary, roared `it is significant to win a big plot and attack colorist`. Is it really?

I feel that it is impatience even if he said it as electoral strategy.

It seems like disclosing his own mind even if he wants to break free from the dilemma as soon as possible.

The story which candidate Roh called as `plot and color` is not the matter that can disappear easily because it is related to political ideology and policy of presidential candidate.

Even though he wins main elections and even major elections, his ideology and policy will follow till the end.

Plot and color is not a thing which can be cleaned by words simply.

He explained and protested the speech considering the then situation by `theory of market` however speech of `withdrawal of U.S. army in Korea`, `breaking up the plutocrats` can`t be erased by the word `now is different`.

And `withdrawal of security law` is still his belief.

Ideology of politician and his political belief, accumulated for a long time through experience and thought, can`t change temporarily and easily according to the situation.

And politician should not change political creed like that.

In addition, no one believes such speech which changes so easily like that speech of `nationalization`, `discontinuance` of press, which has become new issues, seems to have originated from the same thought.

Seeing such things, I feel sometimes that `did candidate Roh run for Presidential election really? `

Saying a word, how can he run for elections giving uneasiness and fear to many people?

If he wants to unify people after becoming President, he must know what people, who have different thoughts on the matter of U.S. army in Korea, the plutocrats and security law, are thinking now.

It is severe as it is related to regime basically.

Candidate Roh can think that it is the change of the policy; however, it is a convulsion of nature which overturns current regime to people who have different belief from candidate Roh.

Would they keep quite in this situation?

Explanation of `market theory` is a poor excuse to them and it raises doubtfulness more.

Moreover, such shock doesn`t settle down easily.

Candidate Roh should think about this matter deeply.

Explanation of candidate Roh created another problem.

How will he explain his changed stance to labors who were there and who acclaimed while shouting `we don’t need to keep ill-laws`, and to supporters who gave encouragement agreeing `withdrawal of U.S army from Korea` and `breaking the plutocrats`?

How about them?

If he behaves like providing first aid for the sake of victory, which got stuck in his eyes, in party primary, it is difficult for him to approach bigger victory.

The situation that candidate Roh is suffering explains this well

It makes us realize that how significant one word is, if politician wants to achieve big goals.

Now, people say that `Roh Wind` is blowing.

Candidate Roh should judge the contents of wind conservatively and carefully like counting numbers and not get swept away by this wind.

If he thinks that he eliminated ideology or colorist, he can fall in a bigger trap.

The procedure for verifying ideology which ended up as simple question and simple answer couldn`t attract fresh interest, however, the source of problem is still existent.

In addition, it was an event within National Democratic Party among supporters of President Kim Dae- Jung so far.

Major election`s situation will change. More places have stronger atmosphere of anti-DJ.

It is candidate Roh himself who has to reveal clear stance on political ideology

and policy.

Candidate Roh is likely to buoy in his wind even if he should not.

Changing word that was revealed while expressing his view on press and violent speech are actual examples.

I don`t know whether he wanted to give image of fighter to his followers, any way, it raised a moral problem on verifying person along with the question `isn`t he some how uneasy?`

See coolly. People are more in numbers and more strict than the members of party.

Control capacity is bigger quality of political leader in post modernism rather than the power of fight.

Primary in MDP and `Roh Wind` is playing a role of a devoted son as it intercepts public interest with regard to political corruption.

What causes concern at this point is the possibility that some of ruling party think like `we can change bigger things in this time, if situation is like this? `

There is suspicion to connect the withdrawal of candidate Kim Jung-Gwon on last 25th, before DaeGu primary, which is his home town and investigation of suspicion of compromise of DaeGu Mayor Mun Hee-Ghap.

And the suspicion for Yeonchung group in MDP to be involved in Primary has arisen.

The apple of plotting theory and reformatting politics is still alive in big frame.
