A big part of the problem is that the media knows that the “citizens” are too stupid and ignorant to understand the issue. I have run across so many in this rural county in which I live who have no idea as to what influences gas prices. I think that they think they are decreed by natural forces they cannot comprehend. Stupid and indifferent beyong belief.
Bingo. Ditto here in the "big city."
Don’t you think it would be wise for the Romney campaign to harp on this over and over until people DO understand?
