Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele pledged on Wednesday to place his party on a "12-step program of recovery." He added that if Republicans wanted to ascend back to the heights of political power, they had to stop trying to be "cool and hip in a Democrat way," and admit their past mistakes." I am putting the party on a 12-step program of recovery," said the RNC chair. "This is going to take some time, it is going to take some effort...We are not the party to be in opposition just for the sake of opposition."
EXCLUSIVE! PLANET WASHINGTON has obtained a first draft of the STEELE STEPS OF RECOVERY.
FIRST DRAFT
RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s
Twelve Steps of Republicans Anonymous
1. We admitted we were powerless over Washington —that our party had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to majority.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Rush as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our opponents.
5. Admitted to Rush, to ourselves, and to every human being the exact nature of others’ wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have Rush revile all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to overlook our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons who had harmed us, and became willing to accept amends from them all.
9. Made direct amends to people wherever absolutely necessary, except when to do so would injure us or ours.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when others were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and medication, especially medication, to improve our conscious contact with Rush as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to the media, and to practice these principles and deny all our affairs.
