Gallup: Republicans Report Much Better Mental Health Than Democrats

A new Gallup poll shows:

"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.
...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."


So we now have hard evidence that the majority of liberals are nuts. We also have videos like this that show the same thing.
Gallup asks:
"whether something about being a Republican causes a person to be more mentally healthy, or whether something about being mentally healthy causes a person to choose to become a Republican."
Either way, what they are saying is that happy, mentally fit people tend to vote Republican, while depressed, and possible deranged, people tend to vote Democrat. So now we have a study to cite next time we call the hippies and feminazis from SAC crazy.
