It's just as I thought: Democrats suffer from mental illness. Make me your emperor and I will solve all your problems.

I would think that being a Democrat is more likely to be a consequence of mental illness than a cause.

It continues to be a source of entertainment, when a study, such as this, disparaging liberals is released, there is little comment. When something of the sort appears re: conservatives it becomes "hot topic" de jour.

Is this because: Everyone, even liberals, already know (or) Liberals go mum in hopes no one will notice. I favor the former. 😛

Liberals are proof that people often throw out the baby and raise the bathwater.

Self diagnosis is renowned for it's effectiveness.
I guess it goes to show that ignorance is bliss.



Is there a link to the actual study anywhere?

I posted a link to the Gallup poll a couple of days ago in a different thread. Don't remember for sure, but I think it was the one about America invading Palestine.

No; being a Republican means you pretend like you're mentally healthy even when you're not. Notice this is all based on self-reports, not evaluation by a trained psychologist.

Or, maybe, those who need mental health care may tend to support those who provide it.

An unclear definition of mental health and self reporting, excuse me if I disregard this "study" untill some real science backs it up.

Yeah, it doesn't mean republicans are less likely to be mentally ill; it just means they're less likely to know they're mentally ill.

Most of us good conservatives are smart enough to realize that all this "mental health" nonsense is just a bunch of new aged mumbo jumbo.
