I've sometimes wondered what the Amish would think of a female veep or even president, but have thus far failed to get a reading on that.
Oh yeah, sure! let's pretend that this is a deep thought! One of the great unfathomable mysteries one might encounter while studying the Amish! You're such a total pile of a shit Eric! If Sen. Clinton were the candidate you wouldn't have any trouble eliciting a response. Come to think of it, you quoted an Amish guy here Who said "Old HIllary...I just can't find myself clapping for anything Hillary does."
the 14-year old brother of my friend Abe sort of had a general impression of what was going on in the election and could say that he didn't really like Obama. What he was basing that upon, I'm not really sure.
So the whole post you're going on and on how the Amish are apolitical. Yet the 14 year old kid manages to get a partisan dig in. What the fuck? Do you just naturally come up with this bizarre twisted shit or do you have to work at it?
But again, Amish tend to keep their noses far from the political sphere. In truth, most would probably take the 'you guys pick him, we'll pray for him' approach
As cousin Vinny said "don't forget about these guys" not to mention your own words
it seems to me that there are some closet political junkies among the Amish out there. I've been listening to interviews with Amish business owners I did in September for an upcoming book, and on more than one occasion our conversational digressions led into the political sphere.
