In the Democrat primary for his Senate seat, Arlen Specter has fired an opening salvo against his opponent, Joe Sestak by questioning the character of the former admiral’s service<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“Joe Sestak, relieved of duty in the Navy for creating a poor command climate,” a narrator says in the ad, referring to morale among Sestak’s subordinates. The spot, which began running Tuesday, also smacks Sestak for missing 127 votes in the House last year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pennsylvania veterans are up in arms;<\/p>\n

At the American Legion Hall Wednesday, the commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Folsom, where Sestak is a member, criticized Specter.<\/p>\n

I feel a measure of satisfaction watching Democrats do our work for us, however the Navy has never released a statement on Sestak’s firing, according to the article. I really can’t judge Sestak’s service from what’s public knowledge…but neither can Specter. Specter’s service lasted three years stateside as an Air Force OSI 1951 – 1953. I’m sure he wouldn’t like that service characterized by an opponent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
