Surprise! Another study proves what many of us (liberals anyway) already knew: "[T]he more psychotic the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Bush."
We really need to find a cure for mental illness.
Christopher Lohse], a social work master’s student at Southern Connecticut State University, says he has proven what many progressives have probably suspected for years: a direct link between mental illness and support for President Bush.
…Lohse's study, backed by SCSU Psychology professor Jaak Rakfeldt and statistician Misty Ginacola, found a correlation between the severity of a person's psychosis and their preferences for president: The more psychotic the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Bush.
"Our study shows that psychotic patients prefer an authoritative leader," Lohse says. "If your world is very mixed up, there's something very comforting about someone telling you, 'This is how it's going to be'."
Tom Tomorrow, notes: "Anyone who's spent any time reading right wing blogs already understood this to be true."
