Hello, my name is Jim, and I’m a Rehab Republican.”
snipity.......
It’s you needing the rehab. It’s you that’s gotta go, go, go! So here’s your customized 12-step program.
Step 1: Admit that the GOP has been powerless over its addiction to power for power’s sake, and that its lust for unchecked power has made the nation’s life unmanageable.
Step 2: The GOP must believe that a power greater than itself can restore sanity. Remember something called “the national interest”?
Step 3: The GOP must make a decision to turn its will and very existence over to that greater power. Work for the voters on Main Street, not the lobbyists on K Street.
Step 4: The GOP must make a searching and fearless moral inventory of itself. Nobody said this would be painless.
Step 5: The GOP must admit to itself and the nation the exact nature of its wrongs. Repeat after me: “Bush and Cheney lied us into the Iraq War.”
Step 6: The GOP must be ready to have all defects of character removed by a power greater than itself. Being in the minority a few more years might do the job.
Step 7: The GOP will humbly ask God to remove its shortcomings. That requires invoking God’s name for something other than political advantage.
Step 8: The GOP will make a list of all persons it has harmed and become willing to make amends to them. Get cracking: the families of 4,000 Americans killed in Iraq; hundreds of thousands of Iraqi orphans and widows; 620,000 veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD, traumatic brain injury or major depression; the friends and families of those 620,000 veterans; Katrina victims; Valerie Plame; Pat Tillman’s family—it’s a long list.
Step 9: Make direct amends to such people wherever possible. Give Iraq back to Iraqis, move all Katrina victims out of formaldehyde-poisoned trailers and rebuild their homes, improve veterans services, and repeal some tax breaks to pay for the nation’s needs.
Step 10: Continue to take self-inventory, and when the GOP is wrong, promptly admit it. Gee, imagine that.
Step 11: Seek through prayer and meditation to improve the GOP’s consciousness of, and service to, the national interest. Turning off Rush Limbaugh will make this step much easier.
Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening, the GOP will carry this message to all Republicans who really need rehab and will practice these principles in all its affairs. In other words, no more dry drunks in the White House.
Easy does it, GOP. One day at a time.http://alibi.com/index.php?story=23212&scn=news
