"Drill Baby Drill"

Okay right wingnuts.. do not think for a second you are going to get to bury this



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill,_baby,_drill

Drill, Baby, Drill!" was a 2008 Republican campaign slogan originally used at the 2008 Republican National Convention<1> by former Maryland Lieutenant Governor, current RNC chairman Michael Steele.<2> The slogan expressed support for increased drilling for petroleum as a source of additional energy.

Drill, baby, drill" is now, "Hush, baby, hush."



The Republican battle cry that crystallized the growing popularity of offshore drilling has dropped from view since the Deepwater Horizon rig sank last week and the well it drilled started shooting crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

As Democratic opponents of the oil industry stepped up their attacks and demands for a sharp turn away from drilling, Republican leaders in Congress have slipped out of rapid-response mode and are generally holding their tongues.

A Nexis search turns up only four mentions of "drill, baby, drill" and Rudy Giuliani or Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who drove the slogan home during the McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. Three are liberal cable hosts mocking the slogan.
