“in country line dancing there is a dance called the two-step. When it comes to energy policy, the Democrats have come up with their own dance, the four-step. Here is how it goes: First, Democrats do not acknowledge the supply component in the supply and demand principle of economics. When confronted with solutions to the supply problem, Democrats always vote ``no'' and drive up prices. Step two for Democrats is to scream about the evil of SUVs, even though they may be driven around in one. Step three for Democrats is to call for investigations, point fingers, call for investment in R&D that already exists, and say that if it weren't for those darn Republicans, we could get off oil tomorrow. Finally, step four for Democrats is repeating steps one, two and three until voters and the media stop paying attention. Mr. Speaker, if this sounds familiar, it should. Since President Clinton vetoed ANWR in 1995, Democrats have performed this dance when it comes to increasing our energy supply. But with gas reaching $3 a gallon, Democrats need to retire it and learn a new dance, but they should try to learn one that will actually increase our oil supply. ____________________”
