Santorum aide: Cain should be more ‘forthcoming’ on sexual harassment allegations
DailyCaller ^ | November 1, 2011 | Alex Pappas

Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign on Tuesday called on GOP frontrunner Herman Cain to be more “forthcoming” about harassment allegations dating back to his leadership of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.

Santorum adviser John Brabender made the remarks during a forum of top aides to the 2012 presidential campaign managers in Washington D.C. hosted by the National Journal. Brabender appeared irked during the discussion when Cain’s campaign manager suggested Cain is the front-runner of the race.

“What I would encourage the Cain people to do is if you are the front-runner and you plan to be the nominee to be forthcoming so that you are vetted and we that we don’t get into a situation where you’re the nominee and we find things after the fact,” Brabender said.

I was a Cain agnostic before the attacks.

Now I am sending him money.

The smear is blowing up in their faces.

Santorum had better spank this guy or it will not go over well with the base.

Time for Santorum to shut up and drop out.

Go home, you can’t even win the re-election as a senator for your own state. You even support a liberal like Arlen Specter over the conservative like Pat Toomey; when your in the White House you going to appoint left wing judges too; pack your bag, you can’t win sir.

If those comments had been made in private and never reported, I would consider that a positive (but I would not know). To make those comments in public was a mistake, one that makes me more confident that the voters got it right when they decided to ignore Santorum.

The MSM should just ask Cain, “when did you stop beating your wife?” since they just want to throw this stuff out there.

Maybe they should ask Obama when he stopped doing coke?

Hey, Ricky, how about calling for Cain’s anonymous accusers to be more forthcoming, starting with revealing their true identities, so that we can investigate their backgrounds and make an informed judgment of their credibility.

But, of course, that would only serve to help Herman Cain, and not destroy him, so you’re not interested.

F-U-R-S!

I am more and more convinced that poor ole Rick Santorum just ain’t that bright. Neither are his consultants.

He keeps attacking Cain, as if Herman Cain is the problem ANY of us face today. It’s not. It’s Obama. As long as Santorum attacks Cain, he will continue to lose support. Especially if he does it on the backs of liberal talking points and liberal smears.

I always suspect that those with no chance of winning, hang around because they are doing the dirty work of one of the front runners.

Seriously, Rick... don’t join in the smearing. You’re going nowhere in this campaign and you’ll not benefit from this.
