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.

Is this a surprise to anyone?? Liberals, with their constant b!tching, whining, moaning and believing the glass is always half empty bring these mental problems on to themselves. Conservatives on the other hand don't wring their hands and stay up all hours worrying about stupid sh!t like global warming of the plight of the supposed poor. We aspire to take all that life has to offer and do it happily without any guilt. Pity the poor deluded liberals..............

"Supposed" poor. They are delusional. The point is about how they rate themselves not what they actually are. Crazy delusional people always deny it.

You idiot, the poor are poor because of their own actions. They spend every dime they get on liquor, drugs. sex and lottery. Want proof? The $2000.00 debit cards handed out to Katrina refugess in Houston were spent exactly in that way. It's their way of life fool. Just low class scum.

Take a poll on the five most insane Bearpit posters. Every one would rate his mental health as excellent.

One could be quick to assume that these differences are based on the underlying demographic and socioeconomic patterns related to party identification in America today. A recent Gallup report (see "Strong Relationship Between Income and Mental Health" in Related Items) reviewed these mental health data more generally, and found that men, those with higher incomes, those with higher education levels, and whites are more likely than others to report excellent mental health. Some of these patterns describe characteristics of Republicans, of course.

Let's finish the partial quote you posted.

But an analysis of the relationship between party identification and self-reported excellent mental health within various categories of age, gender, church attendance, income, education, and other variables shows that the basic pattern persists regardless of these characteristics. In other words, party identification appears to have an independent effect on mental health even when each of these is controlled for.

Truth hurts, doesn't it Grizz. Fact is you people are head cases. And you are soooooooooo stuck to your juvinile beliefs that you will not even entertain the possibility that you could be WRONG in many of your cherished beliefs. But by all means go ahead and be miserable........................ It's your life, such as it is..............
