The study should have also mentioned that there is a direct link between laziness, corruption, weakness, and thinking you are smarter than everyone else and support for the Democratic party.

His master's thesis is darn stupid.

69 psychiatric outpatients were his study group.

Someone in the social services ought to know a few things. First, that outpatients aren't psychotic, or they would be hospitalized. SECOND, they do not like change.

So, in his idiots charade, he could have easily concluded that all the years of training the patients have been fed in their outpatient health care programs, one of the main themes is big changes, in fact any changes are not good and make it difficult to maintain a "stable" condition.

Since he focused on asking in 2004, Bush was already POTUS, therefore, those who were 1. unstable or "psychotic" were merely following years of social workers counsel and making sure they did what they could to keep the presidency from changing. or 2. Found it easier to remember who Bush was with 4 years of possible tv radio and newspaper sightings, and weren't as capable in recalling Kerry or some other candidate.

Be aware, when patients are questioned by psychiatrists to see if they are psychotic and need admission to a mental hospital or not, one of the questions asked is almost ALWAYS " who is the President of the USA ".

One can easily surmise a patient feels as if they have passed the "test" if their answer to who they were voting for was the current POTUS.

So, in this short essay, I have utterly DESTROYED his master's thesis.

[ Lohse says his study is no joke. The thesis draws on a survey of 69 psychiatric outpatients in three Connecticut locations during the 2004 presidential election. Lohse’s study, backed by SCSU Psychology professor Jaak Rakfeldt and statistician Misty Ginacola, found a correlation between the severity of a person’s psychosis and their preferences for president: The more psychotic the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Bush.

But before you go thinking all your conservative friends are psychotic, listen to Lohse’s explanation.

“Our study shows that psychotic patients prefer an authoritative leader,” Lohse says. “If your world is very mixed up, there’s something very comforting about someone telling you, ‘This is how it’s going to be.’”]

There's another side to the Dems' authoritarian bent:  The tendency to ram policy down the throats of the people by getting a judge to impose them from the bench.  Lately judges have even usurped the legislative branches of states by ordering tax increases and requiring new laws related to gay marriage.  Abortion wouldn't be legal in several states if the courts hadn't imposed it on all of them.  And that's the most obvious example.

Reminds me of the old saying "A Republican is just a Democrat that has been mugged."  Also considering we were attacked during the term of this President pschological factors are probably more measureable though still open to misinterpretation by students.

It's common knowledge (backed up by dozens of studies) that the prisons and the nuthouses are predominently full of people who would vote Democrat if they were allowed to.

Wait... so now we're the "Kool-Aid drinkers?"  D'oh!

Sorry Mark, can't diagnose you're mental health.  I haven't made a formal study, but most Republicans I know tend to be more trusting of authority, unless the authority is a Democratic President.  Most Dems I know tend to be distrustful of authority, with the same exception.  Personally, I think anyone who follows the "party line" is nuts.  In the commercial market place we have almost infinite choice.  In the political marketplace, really only two.  If the Party moves away from your personal best interest and core values, move away from the party.  Besides, labels are onerous.  Don't worry if others consider you "authoritarian" you know what you really are.

Is it me or is liberalism trying to commandeer America by telling us how to think, telling us what to believe, and tell us who is right and wrong? And if the average American resists, then support your whack job theory with Science. Because science is never wrong. Global warming a scientific fact, the gay gene, liberals are more compassionate, etc etc etc... This is just the latest... if you're a republican, then it probably means your psycho. I for one am sick of it. I'm sorry but more and more it seems that politics is seeping its way into science. I just thought of the 'findings' a few years back that said basically that people who believe in God are most likely mental and psychotic. Or something like that. I can't remember what it was exactly...

I did a little scientific study in my backyard and just used me as the primary conclusions.  In my scientific studies I have come to the conclusion that left wingers are stuck up snobs who think they are better than everyone else.  They are the kinds of people that drink wine, eat cheese and go to the symphony and then dress up real fancy and think they are the cream of the crop.  Now I would rather drink beer, eat pretzels and sing along to David Allan Coe songs and act crazy, than hang out with stuck up left wing snobs.

So for all the crazy people who aren't stuck up here are the entire lyrics to "You Never Even Called Me By My Name"  Make sure to sing along if you aren't stuck up and make it loud.

You Never Even Called Me By My Name

Written By Steve Goodman
As Recorded By David Allan Coe

WELL, IT WAS ALL
THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM CRYING’
SOMETIMES IT SEEMED SO USELESS TO REMAIN
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN’, DARLIN'
YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME

YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME WAYLON JENNINGS
AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME CHARLIE PRIDE
AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME MERLE HAGGARD/ANYMORE
EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE ON MY FIGHTING’ SIDE

CHORUS:
AND I’LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING’ IN THE RAIN
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN’, DARLIN’
YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME

WELL, I’VE HEARD MY NAME
A FEW TIMES IN YOUR PHONE BOOK (Hello, Hello)
AND I’VE SEEN IT ON SIGNS WHERE I’VE PLAYED
BUT THE ONLY TIME I KNOW
I’LL HEAR "DAVID ALLAN COE"
IS WHEN JESUS HAS HIS FINAL JUDGMENT DAY

REPEAT CHORUS

RECITATION:
WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED STEVE GOODMAN WROTE THAT SONG
AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG
I WROTE HIM BACK A LETTER AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG BECAUSE HE HADN’T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT MAMA,
OR TRAINS,
OR TRUCKS,
OR PRISON,
OR GETTING’ DRUNK
WELL HE SAT DOWN AND WROTE ANOTHER VERSE TO THE SONG
AND HE SENT IT TO ME,
AND AFTER READING IT,
I REALIZED THAT MY FRIEND HAD WRITTEN THE PERFECT
COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG
AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT ON THIS ALBUM
THE LAST VERSE GOES LIKE THIS HERE:

WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON
AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN
BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK
SHE GOT RUN NED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN

CHORUS:
AND I’LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING’ IN THE RAIN
NO, A’ YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN’, DARLIN’
YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME
WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON’T CALL ME
WHY DON’T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME
