RINCETON, NJ -- Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and Healthcare polls. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age, gender, church attendance, and education. The basic data -- based on an aggregated sample of more than 4,000 interviews conducted since 2004 -- are straightforward.

You’re right. Where Republicans tend to be skeptical about anything the news media says, Democrats tend to take as gospel anything they read or see on TV. No wonder they’re bonkers.

Yep. Modern dems are freaking kooks.
No news to me.

Liberal speak... eeeks!!

“I still haven’t gotten over Bush win over Gore... Bush win over Kerry”

“My car still has Gore 2000 and Kerry/Edwards 2004 bumper stickers (although they’re a little faded) right along with all my other moonbat stickers”

“I’ve spent $$$$ trying to come to grips with these situations BUT nothing helps. My shrink suggested it might be the company I keep...”

They can’t answer a “yes or no” question.

The survey might or might not be BS, but you can bet that it will get 1/100th the publicity it would have gotten if Dems reported better mental health than Republicans.

I thought this was interesting:

The more a Republican goes to church the better his/her mental health is. Democrats have marginal effect and in some cases goes down the more they attend church.

One wonders

I think it is called cognitive dissonance.

They think it is ok to kill babies in the womb i.e. the
most innocent among us and it is not ok to execute
murderers i.e. the most evil. among us

I’m surprised that when their brain tries to reconcile
these two beliefs that their brains don’t go squirting out
their ears.

Being a liberal means always having to say that you’re sorry. All that apologizing must take its toll, over time.

“I felt very depressed for weeks after the election.”

Hmmmmm... I may file this one away for use a year from now.......

There may be hope if 62% of rats know they’re utsne.

The absence of God is the problem with most lefties.

Pinging some ping list holders and others. This confirms much!

The Great Depression - Is an epidemic of depressive disorder really sweeping America?

[darkangel82]

That’s what socialism does to you.
