There is no pendulum.

In today’s paper, the Denver Post’s Kevin Vaughan analyzes the Colorado political scene after Governor Bill Ritter announced he would not seek reelection. (”Ritter’s decision throws Colorado into political upheaval once again.”)
Regarding a potential Republican comeback in 2010, Vaugh quotes former state Sen. Mike Feeley, a Democrat, “I think it’s inevitable that the pendulum swings back the other way.”

There is no pendulum.

Instead of movement from one side all the way to the other, political shifts are more akin to a mother moving her infant from one arm to the other. There is a slight shift, but the baby is never far from the teat.
The mother notices the difference, but the baby doesn’t.

But I thought the government didn’t have enough money.

From the Associated Press:

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter does not have a staff photographer – but he has billed taxpayers more than $200,000 to hire outside contractors and pay for photographs, videos and TV ads promoting his accomplishments since June 2008, including videos of him receiving a “Father of the Year” award and a press conference naming his friend, Michael Bennet, to a U.S. Senate seat.

Until nonsense like this goes away, statists can save their tears about a lack of government money and the need for more taxes.
The government need for more money is a lie.
