Republicans Report Much Better Mental Health Than Democrats
According to a recent Gallup poll, liberalism is bad for your mental health. For a longer, happier life, become a Republican and go to church on a regular basis!
This from HotAir.com:
It’s not that the Democrats’ mental health actually is suboptimal. It’s that Democrats themselves think it is.
After so many years of bitter partisanship, it’s nice to see them finally agree with the boss on something.
No doubt the explanation will be that it’s all that darned reality the community has based itself in that’s got them down. I wonder if the real explanation isn’t something else, though — something that implicates the big A as well. Hmm.
The Gallup poll might have been even more interesting if they had asked an additional question, ie – “Did you vote in the last election?”
Other interesting shuffles of the data (on the Gallup website) showed differences between demographics of education and income.
I didn’t really find it surprising, though, that conservatives were more likely to have a self-image of healthy sanity. I mean, the father of modern conservatism, Wm F Buckley, Jr, certainly had a corner on that game!

Savage was right, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”
