I’m not a big fan of some of Deery’s views but mention of Beckwith in connection with a candidate is an automatic disqualification on my ballot.

Thank you for timely coverage. No surprise. Micah Beckwith and cohorts need to address his ongoing support of pedophiles and abusers going back to Micah’s days as youth pastor at Northview megachurch in Carmel covering for a colleague and NOT reporting what he knew to police. Now we see what has happened again with son of another pastor colleague at Life church being charged with.... Beckwith is also a grifter and self proclaimed White Christian Nationalist.

BTW “Pro-life” people are never about actual lives.

"Paula Copenhaver – a former Fountain County clerk, chair of the Fountain County Republican Party and a governmental affairs director for Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith – announced Tuesday that she will challenge state Sen. Spencer Deery,..."

So, the woman who thought it was a good idea to endanger other people's lives by refusing to wear a mask during a pandemic, someone who supports "Christian" Nationalist Beckwith, wants to unseat Deery. All because he didn't bow to president felon's call for mid-cycle redistricting (needed because Republican policies are SO bad they're even losing Republican voters) which even Republicans are against. Let's make sure she fails miserably.

You’re the one who started it with your bullshit opinion, trying to do some craven victory lap; if you like the pain being inflicted on others (or just don’t care), that makes you a complicit and a craven asshole… my opinion.

Maybe before telling me to go find a hobby, consider first that your current hobby is cheerleading people who don’t give a damn about you. At least my anger is geared towards defending myself and those I care about. Not sure what you care about

No my hobby is golf, reading and cooking. Not cheerleading.

Maybe I should lower my standards and start cussing like you.

You are probably so mad at Purdue because you didn’t get in.

Keep swimming in your pool of chaos of the left! You make it fun to troll.

Yeah, you can’t get more craven than that. What’s slimey and slick about conservatives today is that they can play this dumb nice guy routine when espousing their bullshit because they’ve already come to terms with how much evil they eat every day to be who they are.

I shudder to think of who you really are under the mask you present of the upright citizen, even a troll spreading hate is contributing to harm.

And I’ll remind you the first comment in this thread was you saying “policies that are SO bad just won a presidential election........:)”, which looks a hell of a lot to me like a powerful cheer.

You just keep warming up that spirit block in the Trump cheerleader section bud. 🎊🎉

"just"? That election was won on the lies the felon told. He has not brought down prices; he has not even brought down the federal deficit, much less the debt. He lies about who ICE is arresting. He just lies.

Bad is a subjective term, some folks find jouissance in being cruel fucks

Yeah, Beckwith support says everything needed to know this one party rule Christian nationalist MAGAt is NOT someone who represents the best interests of all residents. My recommendation to district 23 democrats is to get a republican primary ballot and vote Deery to keep her from winning on May 5th.

Oh, I remember her from the primary last time. "Out there" doesn't cover the half of it.

Got some attention for being an anti-masker when she was clerk. She & her ex-husband have been the subject of a couple of court of appeals decisions over the years.

Copenhaver sounds like someone asked ChatGPT to generate a generic empty MAGA word salad...

LOL... Indeed...and she will be serving a lot more salad over the next year.

I think we can all assume Copenhaver will accept as much cash from Trump and Maga as she can get her hands on. They are all terrified of the 2026 Elections.

I plan to vote Deery in the GOP primary, like I did four years ago. However, I am undecided if I will vote for him in the general election or vote for whomever is running as a Democrat.
