I laughed so hard at this...had to post it.

The bearded Stolztfus proudly says the Amish are "sort of swept up with Bush fever. You could hold up a dead mouse with a sign 'I love Bush' and we'd still probably think twice about stomping that mouse underfoot."

Somebody, please caption that!!

How about a hampster with a Kerry sign?

[gobucks]

Ok, I'm laughing harder ... but, do you mean a gerbil?

[cripplecreek]

I Meant gerbil before i meant hampster.

[KOZ.]

if it was a gerbil with a "vote for bush" sign, would richard gere still.....nevermind.

"If I know Republicans and their grass-roots operations, they'll spend most of their time trying to phone bank the Amish," said Kerry spokesman Mark Nevins.

What a maroon.

BIRD-IN-HAND, Pa

So does this mean that GW gets two votes in this precinct??

[workerbee]

I'm assuming he was being sarcastic.... at least, I hope so.

OK, now that Hamster Dance tune is running through my head!

"If I know Republicans and their grass-roots operations, they'll spend most of their time trying to phone bank the Amish," said Kerry spokesman Mark Nevins.



UMMMM. They don't HAVE phones. Their Amish.

[gobucks]

I laughed at that one too ... it would only make sense the democrats would even think about phone banks for everyone, including the Amish. Right?

Bird-In-Hand is just up the pike from INTERCOURSE, PA. I'm not kidding. I grew up in Western Maryland - you ought to get out an atlas and see some of the funky village names across southern PA. It's a hoot.

Bush gets a dead mouse bounce!

"If I know Republicans and their grass-roots operations, they'll spend most of their time trying to phone bank the Amish," said Kerry spokesman Mark Nevins.

UMMMM. They don't HAVE phones. Their Amish.

I think that is Mr.Nevin's point. He thinks Republicans are so culturally unaware that they would presume that most Amish have phones in the first place and waste a lot of time/money on trying to rally Amish voters on the phone.

It's supposed to be a joke. Haven't you heard, dems think all conservatives are maroons.
What they don't realize is that Amish aren't cavemen.

Dead Hamster Bounce Bump!

Old central PA saying: "the road to Paradise is through Intercourse!"

[atomicpossum]

My wife used to work at a construction truss company, and they would have Amish builders come in and train on their computers and software. Just goes to show you the Amish aren't the simple cliche they're made out to be.

And of course they vote Republican. Do you think Kerry could show up, take a position pro-Gay-marriage and pro-abortion and these people would snap it up??? They'd build a new woodshed and throw away the key.

Yes, but if you take the wrong road you might end up in Blue Ball. (Lebanon County boy)

[Rebelbase]

How long will the President allow the tragedy of Amish technology to continue?
