    ...oh, so now you're questioning the legitimacy of her polygraph?...seriously?...the GOP was given the opportunity to have the person who gave the polygraph to testify before the committee but they refused to allow that...can't have it both ways...sorry.

    Yes. It should consist of more than two questions.

    1. Where's the goddamn poll?

    2. Of course. And I know one of the baseline question: "Do you like beer?"

    I mean, answers.com isn't the normal place for hard-hitting research, but crowdsourcing answers can help when they're corroborated. Here's a question from 8 years ago about polys:

    Best Answer: Crying can definitely affect the outcome of a polygraph test. Crying will interfere with your normal breathing patterns, which account for two of the four or five channels of physiological information that the polygraph monitors. Interrupted breathing will also have a negative impact on other physiological activity, leading to polygraph charts that are difficult or impossible to accurately interpret.
    If you cry uncontrollably, I would advise against taking a polygraph test.
    Louis Rovner, Ph.D.
    Source(s): PolygraphReality.wordpress.com
    PolygraphWest.com

    I am a court-certified polygraph expert with nearly 30 years experience. PTSD will not affect your exam, but you should advise your examiner about it before the exam. Crying a tear or two during the exam should not pose a problem, but if it becomes excessive or caused you to move during the exam, the examiner may terminate the test. The polygraph will not assess your charts as "deceptive" simply because of a few tears shed. - Michael Martin (President, Global Polygraph Network)

    So, a) "emotionally unstable white privilege" Kavanaugh may not have a great test anyway. Exhibit b) (and it's a meme, I will not vouch for the veracity of the "fact", other than it seems interesting compared with the above PhD's and experts)

    So the questions about Ford's polygraph would normally be answered by calling the polygraph examiner as a witness...

    Funny that didn't happen here, I wonder why not?

    One potential explanation - she mentioned that the test took much longer than she expected - it could be because the examiner had to wait till she finished crying and ask the question again. But I don't know anything about the mechanics of polygraphs.

    Took place in a hotel lobby right after her grandma's funeral they had to rush as she had a plane to catch. You know a pretty standard test

    Sure... again, one would ask the examiner for evidence the test was conducted properly.

    I see the opinions flow, but the logic is missing.
    Is there a person in this forum that has been his class Valedictorian, Captain of the BB team?

    There is one, is there another?

    Then let's add to the above qualification, that this person also drinks himself stupid way too often.

    Is there one of these in this forum? I know of none, do you know of one? Is it a plausible set of qualifications?

    As I said in the other thread. When it comes to moderating I am fair and unbiased. My opinions remain my own. These two remain seperated.

    That post was in reponse to a poll that stated most republicans would be for nominating him even if he did it. I find that disgusting. I don't find everything about conservatives to be disgusting.

    I'll tell you one thing about excessive dinking, it's incredibly dehydrating.
