I guess the researchers weren’t aware of this study:
My personal belief is that many liberals grew up as social misfits. They were the ugly, the homosexual, the dork, the unchosen. The physically attractive tend to find more acceptance in society and are therefore more desirous to promote the society that accepts them because they find little wrong with it. This, they become conservatives and Republicans.
The misfits hate the society and find solace only with like minds who tell them its possible to change nature so they will no longer be misfits. That’s why unattractive people gravitate to the liberals and Democrats because they see in them hope for the revenge against society that they so crave. Of course, it’s not a hard-and-fast rule. And there are good-looking sociopaths (Bill Clinton, John Edwards) that join up with the Left more to exploit them than to be one of them.
maybe that is why they end up on Craigslist, with text message to the young pages in the House or tap the showes of a police office in a MN aiprot bathroom. Who gives hoot about their looks it matters how they vote and act...like adults - with morals.
