December 21, 2010 4:27 PM Specter Hits GOP "Cannibalism" in Goodbye Speech Posted by Brian Montopoli
In a farewell speech on the Senate floor today, departing Republican- turned-Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania said members of the GOP who backed Tea Party candidates over establishment Republicans this year engaged in "a form of sophisticated cannibalism." The 80-year-old Specter, who has served in the Senate for more than three decades, said he was offering "not a farewell address but rather a closing argument." He complained that members of the Senate had grown too ideological for the good of the legislative body. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20026339-503544.html -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
