Democrats: "We're nuts!"
According to a new Gallup poll, Republicans have a much higher opinion of their mental health than Democrats. Peter Lawler explains:
"Other variables, such as income, can’t account for ... the difference, and so being a Republican is clearly a significant cause of self-reported sanity. It could be that Republicans are as crazy as Democrats, but have a manly sense of self-confidence that causes them not to notice. Or it could be that Democrats just whine more and are angling for mood brighteners."
