    Interesting! Any ideas why?

    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.

    Ignorance is bliss.

    Delusions can be quite comforting.

    Is it because the Republicans have had control so long, and have instituted so many cruel and discriminatory laws, that it drives fair-thinking people a bit crazy?

    Better delusionists, and they can afford private health care. Or makeup that is trowelled on like Tammy Fay Bakker Mesner-doesn't explain Fred Thompson, though.

    Crazy people don't know they are crazy. They think they are the only sane ones.

    Judging from the reactions of Republicans on thisBoard, it is because they never let a fact get in the way of a decent rant.
