Polygraphs only have about 75 percent accuracy anyway. The Green River Killer passed a polygraph test because he evidently had no conscience, no guilt about lying, and hence no galvanic skin, respiration, or heart rate response. Maybe in addition to a polygraph Mitt should get voice stress analysis and a Rosenstein electroencephalograph.

And if Romney passed all those lie detector tests, many would take it as indicating he is a true consciousless sociopath. I know I would.
