Dem strategist: GOP needs 'ideological vasectomy'

Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis thinks the Republican party must undergo a painful and potentially dangerous and irreversible procedure to prevent itself from reproducing.Or, something like that. Calling for a GOP "ideological vasectomy" on Thursday night's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, the occasional Hill pundit blogger seemingly felt those words needed a little extrapolation, so he took to the Internet the following morning. "Yes, it’s time for Republicans, if they want to survive as a viable political party, to cut off the far-right voices like Rush Limbaugh and Tom DeLay, move their party more to the left (or in their case, closer to the center), and come up with real ideas and solutions that don’t make the American people think that Republicans are completely out of touch with reality or living in an alternative universe," he wrote on The Hill's pundit blog.
