Gingrich at PLC: Obama Attacks Christians while Appeasing Muslims
Did you know that Baptist colleges would rather close their doors, forever, than implement Obamacare?

Election 2012: Will Contraceptives be a Winning Campaign Issue?
Here’s something: The newest attack on the Obama Administration is his health plan’s requirement that companies and organizations cover contraceptives for their employees.

Election 2012: New Poll Shows Rick Santorum OVER Obama—But is it Trustworthy?
To hear the Rick Santorum campaign tell it, you’re just a donation away from their guy becoming president. It’s not the general they’re worried about if you want a Republican leading the next four years—it’s the primary. Because if the former Pennsylvania senator can get passed past Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, he’s set to beat President Barack...
