Conservatives are happier because they are less angry
That would be the conclusion I would draw from the report covered by Warner Todd below. But that conclusion must of course be interpreted to make conservatives look bad. So the assumption is injected that conservatives SHOULD be angry! No argument is offered to say why.
I will probably say more about this when the actual academic journal article underlying the report below comes online. One of the authors, John Jost, has however previously been shown as having some strange ideas about how to define conservatism so I expect further idiocy and bias in his measure of “rationalization”.

Here’s my take: conservatives are happier because we live in the real world, whereas liberals are unhappier because every time they try and bulls**t the country, they get caught.
I’m happier because I’m not a stinkbomb liberal. ;o)
Yes, I think perhaps hygeine has something to do with it as well.
Well, since I’m a moderate (somewhat similar to the GTL), I’ll be Bipolar.
