Gallup: Republicans More Sane Than Demorcrats

December 1st, 2007 Posted By Pat Dollard.

PRINCETON, 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.

The differences are quite significant, as can be seen. While Democrats are slightly less likely to report excellent mental health than are independents, the big distinctions in these data are the differences between Republicans and everyone else.

    Wow. Democrats right about something after all. Bush went to war and most of America lost its mind.

    More proof that sustaining hate (BDS) for so long does lead to mental health issues.

    What’s is going to be like for these folks when Pres. Bush is long gone in 2009? I shudder to think.

    Sorry,

    Posted that on wrong thread. We’ve always know that conservatives were more sane. Don’t need a liberal study on the fact.

    Another no shit sherlock report. I take it a lib put this one together…since the report has always been so blantantly obvious.

    Well, guess that `splains this:

    FBI’s Gun Ban Listing Swells
    Thousands Added To File Marked ‘Mental Defective’

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/29/AR2007112901238.html

    ” …. Since the Virginia Tech shootings last spring, the FBI has more than doubled the number of people nationwide who are prohibited from buying guns because of mental health problems, the Justice Department said yesterday.

    Justice officials said the FBI’s “Mental Defective File” has ballooned from 175,000 names in June to nearly 400,000, primarily because of additions from California. The names are listed in a subset of a database that gun dealers are supposed to check before completing sales. ….”

    Demor-crats.” Am I missing something? :wink:

    I guess if you’re trying to be a victim full-time you might have a tendency to slide into paranoid delusions like BDS, all right. The moral superiority of victimhood has a price, it seems!

    Oh! Missed it! Who are “Re-bulicans“? :shock: Any relation to Pelicans? :roll:

    And this is some big surprise? I refer you to a NY Times best seller by Michael Savage “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder”

    :lol: @ the typos in the title. I actually didn’t take notice until you said something.

    Egfrow - Thanks for posting Stuck Mojo - loved the videos - and that from a 47-year-old mom in Texas! :smile:

    This bit of news is actually more of a “confirmation” of something I already suspected.
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our Warriors, Pat and crew, and all here. God Bless America.

    Shit! Even the wacko dems are more sane than that Ron Paulie Girl.

  14. Lamplighter

    See–dems are wacked. You would have to be wacked to vote for a piece of work like Billary, to vote to hand over your life and your wallet to the government.
