For that matter, do they vote?

I was thinking about this last night.  Given their strict religious beliefs, I'd imagine heavily Republican.  I also considered how the fact that they don't use phones might throw off telephone polls in a certain way, but they're probably too small a group to make have of an impact on elections.

Okay- so to sum them up, they're probably extremely pacifistic, but probably vote on social issues more than anything else. (I find how they voted overwhelmingly for Bush kind of surprising, but then again, Kerry wasn't exactly Mr. Pacifist, either.)

I'm not sure, however, how they'd feel about gun control or fiscal issues.  Their independent nature might reflect on their attitudes about those things, but I don't think many of them would object to welfare programs.
