Right-wing people are better looking than those on the left, study claims (we all knew that)

Research has found that being attractive influences many things in a person's life -- their salary, their popularity and grades in school, even the prison sentences they receive. So why not their politics?

A recently published study in the Journal of Public Economics concludes that the attractiveness of a candidate does correlate with their politics. They find that politicians on the right are more good looking in Europe, the United States and Australia.

The study shows correlation, not causation, but the researchers float a simple economic explanation for why this might happen. Numerous studies have shown that good-looking people are likely to earn more, and that people who earn more are typically more opposed to redistributive policies, like the progressive taxes and welfare programs favored by the left.

No study needed. We already knew this. As a handsome Hollywood right winger, I can state my *ss is better looking than obama. Liberals are just puke garbage ugly.

If somebody can post the GIF of Trigglypuff and the disbelieving girl that filmed her, it proves that a pic can be worth ten thousand words.

I remember Rush Limbaugh saying years ago feminism was equal rights for ugly women.
