Catching pols in LIES with POLYGRAPHS: Is Mitt Romney, like Meg Whitman 20 months ago, [View all]
willing to offer to take a polygraph test to verify an alleged memory failure?
In his now-famous interview by Brian Kilmeade on Fox Radio, Mitt Romney said, "I don't remember" leading a group homophobic assault at Cranbrook prep school on John Lauber and cutting his hair, as the Washington Post alleged this week and five witnesses corroborated.
Many people believe Romney's statement was an OBVIOUS lie.
IMO, this is an important character issue, because the American people need a President they can trust, not one whose first impulse under stress is to lie like a sociopath. Imagine a future President Romney (shudder!) press conference, where a member of the WH Press Corpse asks him, "Are there weapons of mass diestruction in Iran?"
In a very similar incident involving Meg Whitman's race for governor 20 months ago, she offered to take a polygraph test to verify her statement that "she did not remember" something important. Is Mitt Romney willing to make the same offer? Will anyone with press credentials or in one of his audiences dare to ask him?
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?

"Meg Whitman offers to take polygraph test on maid charges
Posted by CNN's Alan Duke Sept. 19th 2010
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) Meg Whitman, California's Republican nominee for governor, denied Thursday ever seeing a letter from the federal government questioning her former housekeeper's Social Security number.
Whitman said she would be willing to take a polygraph test, to prove that she was 'really stunned' to learn just last year that Nicky Diaz Santillan was an undocumented worker.
'If it comes to that, I would be delighted to do that,' Whitman said at a news conference."
