Drill, baby, drill
"Drill, baby, drill!" was a 2008 Republican campaign slogan first used at the 2008 Republican National Convention by former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele, who was later elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The slogan expressed support for increased drilling for petroleum and gas as sources of additional energy and gained further prominence after it was used by Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin during the vice-presidential debate.
==Etymology==
Michael Steele used the phrase "Drill, baby, drill" during an address to the 2008 Republican National Convention as he called for increasing domestic production of oil and gas, and the phrase proved to be popular among the delegates. Prior to the Republican National Convention, Erik Rush, a conservative blogger and author of ''The Other Rush'' blog, had titled his August 28, 2008 sheet "Drill, baby, drill!" Environmental think tank Post Carbon Institute released a contrarian report in 2013 titled "Drill, Baby, Drill: Can Unconventional Fuels Usher in a New Era of Energy Abundance?"〔Hughes, J. David, ("Drill, Baby, Drill: Can Unconventional Fuels Usher in a New Era of Energy Abundance?" ), (Santa Rosa, CA: Post Carbon Institute, 2013).〕
One possible source of the expression "Drill, baby, drill" was a similar three-word expression used by Bill Epton, an African American radical, whose three word statement "Burn, baby, burn" in 1964 led to him being "the first person convicted of criminal anarchy since the Red Scare of 1919".〔(Bill Epton, Former PLP Activist, Dies )〕 Another possible explanation of the origin is that Erik Rush or some predecessor modeled the phrase after the title of the 1966 Mario Bava film ''Operazione paura'' which was released in the USA under the colorful title ''Kill, Baby, Kill'' and also known as ''Kill, Baby... Kill!''〔(''imdb.com'' )〕 The 1973 Ray Austin film ''House of the Living Dead'' also used this same title ''Kill, Baby, Kill'' when released in USA video format, although this latter film achieved little of the popularity of the earlier Bava film. Another possibility is that it is a play on the "Burn Baby Burn" lyrics of the song "Disco Inferno."
