A question for Mitt Romney
So my question for Romney would be, "as Mormons, does your family have a one-year food supply in storage, and do you recommend that non-Mormons take similar measures? Why or why not?"
It would be interesting to hear what he has to say.
UPDATE from TigerHawk: This seems like a missed opportunity for Mitt to lock up the survivalist vote, which readers of this blog might assume is larger than popularly understood.
Bwahahaha!

well now....
as a McCainiac...and someone whose friends consider him "hawkish" and "conservative"...it brings a smile to my face to read people *I* consider hawkish and conservative mocking Romney.

I think a much better approach would be to ask that question to the *other* candidates, as in how much personal responsibility they think individuals bear for their own needs during an emergency vs how much should be provided by Government (at all levels).

Is it nit-picking to note that Walton Feed is in Idaho, not Utah?

As a Mormon I think Mitt would encourage everyone to store up a little for a rainy day. I didn't have a years supply, but about 15 years ago I was unemployed for about 8 months. My wife was still working, but because of our storage we lived for 8 months without help from the government, either of out parents, or the church, which has it's own welfare program. We lived on about a negative $100 a month for the entire time. Being prepared for problems like this allows a certain amount of peace of mind and freedom from panic.
