Conservatives More Likely To Be Psychopaths
Came under fire when he showcased his theory in another paper. Now he has returned with even more data which, he insists, shows that socially conservative views are statistically linked to three anti-social personality traits:
Machiavellianism (deception)
Narcissism (overinflated sense of self-worth)
and Psychopathy (absence of guilt or remorse).

Perry Thurston for Florida Attorney General
FOR ALL FLORIDIANS

to change the people we send. Rick Scott, Pam Bondi, and the Republican

spend public dollars on private schools while cutting scholarships for our
students.
We have to change it. But I need your help.
