The type of complex that's found in bullies who know that people don't like them, so they dedicate their lives to make others suffer instead. Making other people suffer is what they do to compensate for the emptiness that they feel inside of themselves.
They try to compensate for their feelings of inferiority with facades of piety and opulence, lies and distractions of fear.
Republicans hated Bill Clinton because he was popular and charming, they hate Barack Obama because he's popular, charming and something other that the lilly-white whiteness that they cling to.
They force the myth that money makes a person more important than a person without it.
They are the party for people who hate themselves
And they're convening in Tampa.
It should be a humungous pity party, but instead it's going to be a spectacle of hatred, greed and hypocrisy. The sounds, lights and colors are all designed to make themselves feel better, to distract themselves away from the realization over how sad, angry, greedy and pathetic that they truly are.
It's going to be really ugly
And the Republicans will wallow in that ugliness shamelessly.

The republicans have absolutely NO credibility - they are hypocrites and liars.
The Republicans loved Palin when she gave her hate-mongering speech at the 2008 GOP Convention, this year they have 7 birthers that will be speaking.
It's going to be one HUGE Hate Fest.

(36,974 posts)Here's a link with a LIST of the 7 birther speakers: http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/08/24/743791/birther-convention/
p.s. I believe Gov. Scott and Gov. Jindal have said that they are skipping the convention now and staying in the home states to head up hurricane efforts.
