I think it reasonable for a presidential candidate to know how many
houses he and his wife own. I wonder if McCain knows what a half gallon
of milk or a dozen eggs sell for? I doubt it.
Neither do I. I haven't had a glass of milk or a real, home cooked egg
in about 3 years. So what?

You're not running for public office. Someone who is...should
Don't you go to the supermarket?

Very rarely. We don't have kids living in the house anymore. There's no
reason for me to be current with the price of a gallon of milk. So, I don't
have a clue, and I don't think it makes any difference if I were running for
public office or not.

I *do* know, based on conversations with my daughter who feeds two growing
boys with bottomless pits and my two sons' wives and their families that
food costs are going out of sight. I know pretty accurately how much they
all spend a week for food.

I think *that's* important to know, not an itemized grocery shopping list.

Ask McCain about the high cost of food. I think he has an idea.
Ask him how much a lb. of boloney costs and I won't hold it against him if
he doesn't have the current answer on the tip of his tongue.

This stupid stuff is nothing but political spin and frankly, it is an insult
to the intelligence of the American people.

Democrats always fall this cult of personality like they have done for
Obama..It is part of their pathology of wanting to be taken care of by
a father figure. Remember how many Dems thought papa Joe Stalin was
ok and they went into near depression when Krushev denounced him?
Remember how many Dems went gaga over Mao? They always do this
because the average Dem isnt smart enough to take care of himself so
they need an authority figure to tell them what to do.
