GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum has loaded up his Leadership for Life bus to hit Ohio — and he’ll be coming our way tomorrow with an early afternoon Cleveland stop sandwiched between touchdowns in Toledo and Youngstown.
Naturally, with his tight schedule, you’d think he’d head for the biggest pool of reliable Republican primary voters. So he’s going to — East 112th & Buckeye? The heavily African-American neighborhood generally votes about 90% Democratic — that is, when a Republican even bothers to run for office on this side of town.
But surely, residents of Buckeye will be eager to hear what Republicans are offering on the community’s most pressing issues, like unemployment, foreclosure, education, access to health care, and crime. So Santorum is going to talk about — abortion and gay marriage. He’s even bringing along the dour-faced Maggie Gallagher, who founded the National Organization for Marriage to fight against marriage for gay people.
Here’s what he’ll be trying to sell to the denizens of Buckeye, according to his campaign release:
While all the candidates in the GOP primary are pro-life, Rick Santorum stands out as a proven leader in this great human and civil rights cause of our time. It was Rick Santorum who successfully led the fight to ban the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure, and he proudly co-sponsored and fought for every single piece of pro-life legislation while in the U.S. Senate.
Folks here would probably be happier to hear he fought to get some decent jobs in their community. But never mind that.
Head on down to the Subway parking lot at 11217 Buckeye at 1:45 p.m. to meet the Leadership for Life bus and see if Lil Rickie will be dropping jams. Apologies to Jay-Z and Kanye West, who most likely will be voting for someone else. — Anastasia Pantsios

Mitt and Santorum still tied in Michigan with Mitt claiming foul play by the libtards for voting for lil’Ricky because everyone is certain he can not beat Obama. I think either one is fine because they are both so out of touch with the people of America in 2012 that I am not sure that Rick would even get the Catholic vote…or if Mitt would even get the Mormon vote. They are known ass-holes in their home-states and yet they think they will be different if they were to be given the highest seat in the free world. SNL, but more insane and ludicrous.
Since we live in a city completely dominated by Democrat politicians, how about if Anastasia Panstios writes an essay about what good they have ever done for Cleveland? Poorest city in America. Most rapidly depopulated city in America. One of the most violent cities in the entire industrailized world. Tell us how that came to be, Pantsios.
And I thought Mason was a democrat lawyer prosecutor. I had no idea he had such anger for good reporters like Anastasia Panstios. Must be a man thing…but dude please don’t blame all democrats for the mess we have in Cleveland and please don’t blame any women, with a very few exceptions..it has been ass-hole men like Jimmy and Frank and a bunch more mafiia wanna-bees who have helped charge the violence…as though we in Cleveland need some idiots like you and Jimmy and Frank to piss us off here in Cleveland and add fuel to our anger. Haven’t you pissed us off enough, Mason, by keeping us in jail for smoking a few fat-boys or letting off a little steam? My good and somewhat wild son spent six months in county for crimes I have still not have had explained to me. This was on your wathch, Mason, so you jumping my friend Anastasia’s ass on her own newspaper makes me double pissed. And Mason: You are part of the reason we have such a violent fucking city, so don’t act like a little goody-goody ass kissin republican now. Join Occupy Cleveland and get a life worth talking about.
