Reflection on 2008, Forecast for 2009

The year 2008 will definitely go down in history as interesting.

The election of Barack Obama will be an interesting historical side note next to the mass defection from the old parties, lead by none other than myself.

Sure, it's ambitious to the point of almost hysterically out of touch with reality, but why not? That's what they said about everyone who changed the world. Plus, I'm not going to be the one who changes the world anyway, I'm just going to be out in front of the pack. It's not that people will be following my influence, but they will be following in my footsteps.

The old parties have compromised themselves right into a corner such that no escape is possible without stepping on large numbers of their constituents. In fact, for the DNC it is so bad that no matter what they do now the stain of their economic policies will tar and feather them for generations to come. People will leave the DNC party as if the letters identified them as a leper in the old testament.

Who would want to be a member of the party that caused more financial hardship in American history than any other? Only the die hards. Let them die.

The GOP will be seen as an ineffective shield against the DNC. Who wants to be part of that legacy? Only the die hards. Let them die.

The rest of the people will be looking for some place to go. The Libertarian party will be natural place for them to congregate.

Our future could not be brighter! I will have very little time to bask in the excitement of the party growth, as I will be busy finding the disenfranchised voters and leading them to the party of principle. But it will be worth it. The grass roots growth of the party of principle will be tremendous, and while it will likely not be enough to put a Libertarian in the white house, it may be enough to put one in a governors mansion. Then the true avalanche shall begin, and the whole political apparatus will be ours, and freedom restored.

Yeah, it won't be my doing, but I'm enjoying being out front calling back to the rest of you saying "Over here!"
