Arlen Specter Slams GOP ‘Cannibalism’ in Senate Farewell Speech
(By Meredith Jessup, The Blaze) - Republican-turned-Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., used his final Senate floor speech Tuesday to take a less-than-subtle jab at his old party, claiming that conservative Republicans who recently supported tea party challengers over establishment candidates engaged in political cannibalism.
Claiming himself as a centrist, Specter complained that the U.S. Senate has become so politically polarized that it is no longer civil. “In some quarters, compromise has become a dirty word,” Specter said. After serving three decades in the Senate and claiming the title as Pennsylvania’s longest-serving U.S. Senator, Specter lost his bid for re-election to Democratic primary challenger Joe Sestak. Democrats lost the seat, however, after Republican Pat Toomey defeated Sestak during November’s general election.
