Are you surprised at the results of this Gallup Poll?

Question

http://www.gallup.com/poll/102943/Republicans-Report-Much-Better-Mental-Health-Than-Others.aspx

For those of you who are too unstable to look up the link, the poll revealed that 58% of Republicans polled considered themselves to be in excellent mental health, as opposed to 38% of Democrats and 48% of Independants. The self-help solution is pretty obvious.

Answer 1

Well what did you expect? After all I've stated it many times before that liberalism is mental disorder. But I am surprised that so many Dem were so honest. Maybe there's hope for the Dem party after all. Idk.

Answer 3

Thinking through the conservatives that I know personally, many of them are severely depressed, but the constraints of many of their political and social beliefs leads them to

1) Refuse to admit any personal weakness.

2) Assume that having a chemically based illness such as chronic depression must be a sign of a character flaw

3) Are petrified of anyone "getting inside their heads"

4) Have such an almost neurotic need to "handle everything themselves" even things that are simply not handleable without some help.

5) View things in terms of black and white. Either you are independent, and never need any help with anything, or are "dependent" and always need help with everything. The concept of interdependence, where one can be independent when possible, and is free to ask for help when they need it working together, simply never registers as a possibility with them.

6) Tend to sweep issues, problems, and conflicts under the rug. Refuse to acknowledge the 2000 pink elephants hanging about in their houses.

I am terribly confident that every single one of them would claim to be exceedingly happy and mentally healthy. Although any outsider with half an IQ could observe their posture, their body and voice mannerisms, and their faces when they don't realize anybody is watching them, and clearly and easily come to the conclusion that they are very unhappy indeed.

Sorry, since there is no way to back up the results of this poll, by having each participant evaluated by independent therapists and psychiatrists, I cannot give much credence to it.

Answer 4

I'm only surprised that only 62% of Democrats are insane. I think 38% are liars.

Answer 5

I don't know how many times I have to remind people that Gallup advertises Ann Coulter on their website...

They have been repeatedly criticized for asking leading questions during the 04 election against John Kerry's military record.

Gallup is conservative... enough said.

The polls all seem to be biased toward the right or left... Gallup is just one of many.

I think this is just the beginning of their spin on the Hillary campaign hijacker....

Answer 6

I do think this poll is accurate. Think of the vile utter hatred libs have for our President. I dislike Bill and Hillary but I'm not going around foaming at the mouth about them like libs are to Bush...

Answer 7

Oh, my, I'm going right down to the regestrars office and change my political affiliation to GOP so I can become mentally conditioned and healthy. Gosh, I feel better already!
Thanks

Answer 8

Those are self reports. Frequently part of being in bad mental health is thinking that there is nothing mentally wrong with you.

Answer 9

Republicans are not very self-reflective so I am not surprised they all think they are normal. I'm sure Larry Craig thought he was in excellent mental health before that bathroom incident.

Answer 10

It's because the Republican's will never admit that anything is wrong.
