Do you believe in the quote "You are what your record says you are"?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

In the context of politics, your "record" is what you have done in public office.

So trump.presided over record unemployment and deficits. Right?

Trump illegally paid off a pornstar to deceive American voters right before an election... right?

The question gets messy.

 

[surada]

look at kammies over the last 4.

Vice President's never do anything

 

[JOSweetHeart]

What if nobody knows your record? You are how you seem to others.

If nobody knows your record, it could be due to the fact that you are trying to make things different now in a better way compared to how things are in your past. For example, how many people do you know still suck on a pacifier like they did when they were still an infant?

God bless you always!!!

Wow, you actually stumbled into the point!

That's what I mean, when I say, it depends how you mean.

No. That wasn’t what you meant nor was it your point.

Trump's 4 year record as a President was exemplary, that is why I am voting for him again. Why are you voting for Kamala?

 

[MarathonMike]

No. That wasn’t what you meant nor was it your point.

The usual Trump haters show up, drop a couple of meaningless posts and then run for the hills. SSDD

The great Hall Of Fame coach Bill Parcells once angrily stated about the poor performance of his team "YOU ARE WHAT YOUR RECORD SAYS YOU ARE!" I have always believed that is true whether in sports or in life. You are, in my opinion, defined by your actions, words and deeds. If you do not like the person you are, can own your past and vow to be better but you cannot disavow what you have or have not done. Do you believe this applies to political leaders or are they somehow exempt from their actions, words and deeds? Or do you not believe this statement is true at all?

People change over time, I am not the same person I was 30 years ago or even 20 years ago.

True, but a 60 year old Left Wing Socialist does not change her stripes overnight. The Democrats are trying to hoodwink voters into thinking a "new moderate" Kamala just dropped out of a coconut tree 4 weeks ago. No sale.

I don’t. Maybe in sports the scoreboard defines success, but in life there is no metric that defines it.

Lol what did he do to fix healthcare or stop illegal immigrants?

Fair.

I used to be a liberal and a registered Democrat.

My favorite line came from Reagan:

Q. Mr. President, in talking about the continuing recession tonight, you have blamed mistakes of the past, and you've blamed the Congress. Does any of the blame belong to you?

The President. Yes, because for many years I was a Democrat. [Laughter]

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No. That wasn’t what you meant nor was it your point.

It sure was. "It depends" were literally the first words of my first response. You will have to go sit in the corner and play with your strawman dolly all by yourself.

But she isn't a socialist, and you don't know what that word means anyway.

Nope. Try again.

You are caught on your lie and lying to sneak out of your embarrassment doesn’t help.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Sorry, anyone can see for themselves that this is just another out of left field tantrum by you. It's all there in black and white.

So, moving on, while Backagain punches his daily hole in the drywall:

It depends on what you consider the "record".

Twice impeached? Illegally paid off a porn star? Record deficits? Stole classified materials?

Does that count?

I believe it is true, with sports...

I do not think it translates in to all situations of "life" or in "politics"...

Everyone can see exactly what you said.

You can claim anything you want. But you’re the one who has stepped in it.

And you’re stuck with it.

Being impeached is meaningless. Purely political. He paid a porn star for an NDA. PERFECTLY legal.

“Record deficits” is also meaningless since Presidents don’t pass the budgets. Congress does. And higher deficits per Administration is far from new. Now, factor in COVID. Then, try being honest.

It was Potato who stole classified documents. I don’t believe that he will be prosecuted?

It might. The real question being asked pretty much is this one, "In what way do you want people to remember you?"

God bless you always!!!

P.S. In other words, it is more than just about what does or doesn't happen during sporting events. Its about what does or doesn't happen during life in general.

I took the phrase to mean something like your test score, or your win record in a sporting situation, tells you who you are, or tells others who you are....

And in real life, that is not always the case....you can have a person who always tests terribly, yet they are smarter than anyone you know, and kinder too....they simply aren't a good pencil and paper tester....

Or in another scenario a guy who gets straight 'A's without a lick of common sense or a lick of work ethics....he looks good on paper, but in real life will end up being a failure....so score wise he may appear to be a winner, but in real life, he's not.....

That's what I meant my response to mean....
