"Conservatives need to do a better job of explaining how they would lower gas prices. More drilling is a great piece of the pie, but there needs to be more. Governor Sarah Palin and Eric Bolling, Fox News host of of The Five, have put together a comprehensive plan to lower gas prices and they mapped out the details in the video below:

This was a great one to watch. Lots of statistics and information that they related direct to the things average people buy every day.
Gas prices up 115% since Obama took office.
Food prices from 2.9% all the way up to over 27% on something like peanut butter. The farmers aren't making any more money and the middle man processing isn't making any extra. It's all fuel.
It's tough to read up on the self-sufficiency standards just done for Aspen and Breck. They were done before the soar to over $4.00 a gallon. People have to gas to get to work and then can't afford to take a lunch and go without just to cover the extra. Or they skip or lower debt bills and juggle further than they already are.
This is a good one to watch. Very interesting and brings it all into perspective.
Say what will about Palin. She can talk to an audience and get them relating with her one on one better than any public figure we’ve got on the scene today. There is no liberal oriented woman that can say the same. Couric, Sawyer, Clinton, none of them. It is a good video. Nowhere are we as a country getting hit harder by high gas pricing than in construction of all kinds. Every single thing that walks on to a job is hauled in. Freight has gone through the roof making custom building near impossible for a homeowner to afford to do. Those kinds of projects kept it going in the earlier years of the recession because gas wasn’t through the ceiling. Now, there’s no way. People are really hurt and the downside is there’s no way to recover. Nothing flows without something else taking it away. If a real count of the economic status of the average household could be done, the numbers would probably shock us all. People won’t tell the whole picture because if they do, especially if they’re self-employed, they’ll lose work or status they have to have for work. I don’t donate to the food bank or shelters anymore. I put what I can direct into a single mom’s hands. Load up scrap wood off from the shop and take it to a retired couple I know. Living on $1,000 a month social security and rent is $700 bucks. Both of them disabled. Heat is electric. The reality check on it all is in our own backyards. Had hope when it was Perry and have none now. Romney will hold the status quo and gain slightly. But we need a full frontal assault to stop taking on water.
