Republicans have been found to be more than twice as likely to have nightmares during sleep than are democrats, and it appears to be a result of their unreasonable and pervasive fears which are encountered most often when they feel a lack of strong guidance in their lives.Insecurity, in other words.
"Half of the dreams of Republicans in my study were classified as nightmares, compared to
only about 18 percent of the dreams of Democrats," said Bulkeley. "My speculation is that
people on the right are very attuned to the dangers in the world, and they're seeking ways to
defend themselves against those threats. They're drawn to a political ideology that favors
things like a strong military and traditional moral values. People on the left tend to be more
utopian and open to the possibility of going beyond the way things are now to how things
could be made better."

Uh, are "RePugs" the canine version of RePubs?
And, do RePubs legs twitch when they are having these nighmares?

nightmares occur with increasing frequency.
