Conservatives are more attractive than liberals, study finds
Indy100 ^ | 1/27/18 | Darin Graham

Hot people are more likely to support right-wing parties because they are stronger and more successful than their more liberal peers, apparently.

That's according to a study carried out by Rolfe Daus Peterson, a political scholar from Susquehanna University and Carl Palmar, assistant professor in politics at Illinois State University.

The researchers claim that never before has the effects of physical attractiveness on politics been examined on this level and that there is "good reason to believe that individuals’ physical attractiveness may alter their political values and worldviews".

The attractiveness of conservative or liberal folks would probably be about equal if liberals kept their mouths shut.

I was never rich but I did care about my appearance. I think that’s a conservative ideal - neatness, etc. Steve Bannon being a rare exception, of course.

The scholars said hot people lean towards the right because they grow to develop a blind spot that leads them to not see the need for more government support or aid in society - a core liberal value.

why take a negative view of beautiful people? It is just as easy to say that ugly people develop a need to be parasites and want big government to help them out. sheesh. This article must have been written by an envious ugly person.

LOL!! So TRUE about Bannon! Liberal women especially don’t seem to care about their appearance....wonder why?

If you watch Tucker Carlson on a regular basis, you see a cavalcade of liberal freaks walking through the show. Only the occasional “strategist” appears to have bathed prior to his tv debut.

Liberalism is the home of hatred and anger. Not two of the most beautiful attributes, and they certainly will have an effect on your appearance.

When I was out grocery shopping and some guy came up to me and said, “You bring the steak and I’ll bring the wine.” I was creeped out more than anything!

You’re right! Isn’t it funny? We noticed the same thing—you can always tell which woman guest on any news show is the conservative and which is the libtard.

You almost can’t blame the hideous hags for being so angry all the time.

The creep factor depends on if you’re male or female.

Didn’t need a study for that. Just watch TV.

Rush Limbaugh has commented on this for years. I always get a laugh when he points out (correctly) that a grouping of leading ‘RATS looks like the bar scene in StarWars.

In general: the most barf inducing fugly women on earth are female Leftard FemiNazis.

Just scan the crowd at a “women’s march.” The collective ugliness is jaw-dropping, truly jaw-dropping.

Mastador1, you know the FR rules! Before posting any photo of Helen Thomas, you must post a public service warning of some kind LMAO!!!

Or at least post some kind of an eye wash station afterwards.

Someone actually conducted a study to reach this conclusion? Just watch the news at night, or check out the difference between the left and right sides of the aisle in Congress.
