Unknown Author

4.9/5 (14993 ratings)

Description:A revealing memoir by the longtime Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter. Arlen Specter served for 30 years in the United StatesSenate, but of the more than 10,000 votes he cast, it was just one that led to his defeat. Throughout his career in office, Specter maintained a reputation for his independence and a willingness to break with his party in the interest of Pennsylvania and the nation. His key vote and leadership in the passage of the Stimulus Bill in 2009 created irreconcilable differences with the Republican Party. And his town hall meetings on health care later that year would become known as some of the first appearances of the nascent Tea Party movement. In Life Among the Cannibals, Specter candidly describes how growing extremism in the Republican party led him to make a headline-grabbing party switch to the Democrats after decades as a Republican. He recounts the difficult transition, the unexpected struggles he faced, and his tumultuous campaign and eventual defeat in the 2010 Pennsylvania Democratic Primary.Taking us behind the scenes in the Capitol, the White House, and on the campaign trail, he shows how a new standard of extremism and party tyranny has ended any chance of a moderate, bipartisan consensus.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
