Hope clouded my vision. An X post by preacher Micah Beckwith [FN1] read: “Life Church has hosted several of the gubernatorial candidates to provide the public with an opportunity to answer questions. Next Up: Current Lt Governor Suzanne Crouch ” [FN2] Nuts. I saw 1/8

“Beckwith” & “answer questions.” Hope pasted “would” over ampersand. Beckwith, a/k/a Merde de Poulet, does not like voters, the general public or any who call him on his false claims. [FN3] Back in reality, I thought of questions any GOP candidate for Gov should answer: 2/8

1) Should the Lt Gov be a thorn in the side of the Gov (as Beckwith has said he would be)?
2) Is it prudent for IN Gov to have a food taste tester on the State payroll? (After all, one can’t be too careful when a power-hungry individual is next in line to run the State.) 3/8

3) Would you require a Lt Gov who says he talks politics w/”The Lord” to provide an accurate summary of all such talks, to date? (On 1/7/21 Beckwith said “the Lord” claimed credit for Jan 6, then added details in at least 1 later interview. Prevent new “talks” from popping up.) 4/8

On other matters. A person said my blog/tweets merely “preach to the choir.” I see three groups. The left (blue), the right (red) and those between (gray). The people in the gray are of various beliefs, and some might agree w/me. Even a few in the red might see a light. 5/8

I researched Germany 1932-33, Italy 1921-22 and Spain 1936-39, as well as other authoritarian regimes. It appears dictators do not debate. Beckwith seemed to want to debate back in 2020. He might be chicken. Perhaps we never shall know, although I know I’d have fun. 6/8

FN3. I’m a voter, a member of the general public & I love to call Beckwith out on the “merde” to his “poulet.” I hit a trifecta. 8/8
