I get what you are saying, but it's a straw man. Newt's $2.50 is a sound bite statement. He is saying he will push policies that drive down the price, and is convinced he can bring it to that area with those policies.

The current price of gas is not the same at three successive gas stations. One would have to be mentally deficient to not understand.

Contact his campaign and tell them that Newt just darn well better start saying "somewhere around the general neighborhood vicinity of $2.50 a gallon, give or take..." or you will keep calling people stupid! That will show them.

Like "Hope and Change", it is meaningful to the ignorant and recognizably dishonest to the informed.

He is saying he will push policies that drive down the price,

Agreed and I believe it true.

and is convinced he can bring it to that area with those policies.

Actually, I believe he is smarter than that, but that he believes he is speaking to a audience that is not.
