Lie detectors aren’t quite as effective on sociopaths. There has to be an element of perceived risk and reward. There has to be emotional reaction and/or guilt associated with the subject inquiry.

While more effective than most judges would like to admit, a lie detector relies on the emotional, psychological and the ensuing physical reactions of guilty subjects with a fear of being caught.

I think lie detectors also wouldn't work well with people who habitually lie.

The average Hillary speech has at least a lie per sentence. If I were retired I might just follow her around the country and document every single lie for a week. That probably would involve writing down over a thousand lies and then writing a couple of paragraphs each explaining why it was a lie.

I think the Clintons depend on just wearing out their opposition with a blizzard of nonsense.

One example a few weeks ago were Hillary's comments on SCHIP and the family the Democrats chose as their example of how great the program was.

After one great FR poster, then bloggers, and then some of our favorite media outlets blasted this family as wealthy and probably tax cheats, Hillary accused George Bush and the Republican Congress of attacking the family's reputation.

Of course, W and the Republican Congress were wimping out as usual, afraid to take on the MSM propaganda machine, and had not said one word on the subject.

Hillary's lies were blatant and easy verifiable.

"...There has to be emotional reaction and/or guilt associated with the subject inquiry..."

The US' present widespread criminality problem is traceable directly to the introduction of Miranda rights, IMHO.

Miranda swept all the guilt out of a freshly-caught murderer.

Easiest way to beat a polygraph is to mentally ask yourself a question where the truthful answer is the false answer for the question asked by the person giving the polygraph. You're truthfully answering the question you posed to yourself.
