According to the study, whiny insecure kids grow up to be "rigid" Republicans who follow "traditional gender roles" and are "uncomfortable with ambiguity." That's about as good a description of Bushie as you can find.
And liberals? "[C]onfident, resilient, self-reliant kids" mature into liberals, or "bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests."
