Welcome to Political Headslap! with Keith Curtis! Each week, we invite political candidates to come and discuss issues on our show! The difference? If any one of them uses any of the buzz words or nonsense phrases on our list, Keith slaps them upside the head. Remember, they can discuss issues, even attack their opponents. [...]
