Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), who until late April of this year was a lifelong Republican<http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/28/specter-democrat/>, castigated his former party this morning on Fox News. Specter ripped the GOP for refusing to be a good-faith negotiator in the health care debate:

On the Republican side, it's no, no, no. A party of obstructionism. ... You have responsible Republicans who had been in the Senate - like Howard Baker, Bob Dole, or Bill Frist - who say Republicans ought to cooperate. Well, they're not cooperating.

Watch it:

Specter also indicated he would fight hard for the public option. "I'm not prepared to recede at all. I think the public option is gaining momentum," he said. "I am not going to step back a bit. I am going to fight for the best public option<http://www.politico.com/blogs/politicolive/1009/Thune_Public_option_compromises_still_public_option.html>."
