This is what the American Psychological Association has to say about polygraphs, which comports with what I've generally seen about them:

Polygraph testing has generated considerable scientific and public controversy. Most psychologists and other scientists agree that there is little basis for the validity of polygraph tests. Courts, including the United States Supreme Court (cf. U.S. v. Scheffer, 1998 in which Dr.'s Saxe's research on polygraph fallibility was cited), have repeatedly rejected the use of polygraph evidence because of its inherent unreliability. Nevertheless, polygraph testing continues to be used in non-judicial settings, often to screen personnel, but sometimes to try to assess the veracity of suspects and witnesses, and to monitor criminal offenders on probation. Polygraph tests are also sometimes used by individuals seeking to convince others of their innocence and, in a narrow range of circumstances, by private agencies and corporations.

The development of currently used "lie detection" technologies has been based on ideas about physiological functioning but has, for the most part, been independent of systematic psychological research. Early theorists believed that deception required effort and, thus, could be assessed by monitoring physiological changes. But such propositions have not been proven and basic research remains limited on the nature of deceptiveness. Efforts to develop actual tests have always outpaced theory-based basic research. Without a better theoretical understanding of the mechanisms by which deception functions, however, development of a lie detection technology seems highly problematic.

For now, although the idea of a lie detector may be comforting, the most practical advice is to remain skeptical about any conclusion wrung from a polygraph.

There's a lot more information at the link, that was just the conclusion.

But, of course. It's why I included the link. As mentioned, though, at least she's offered.

If I'm not mistaken, applying for many government jobs require taking a polygraph test.
 
Yeah, that’s proof right there.....
I hope I never have to take one that address's some thing I may have done 50 years back, like going in a nude mud bath tent at Vortex, Im sure I pinched an ass or two, after I was pinched first!
 
There certainly are a lot of questions to be answered. Nonetheless, as I mentioned earlier, we shall see.

I found this to be an interesting article...

Well, we're still trying to see if Big Foot exists, little green men are captives in Area 51, Kennedy was assassinated by LBJ and the moon landing was all staged in a setup using trick photography. Some crap never goes away. Now, excuse me but I've got an appointment to go visit Elvis.
 
Again, the alleged event happened right in the middle of the Packwood sex scandal. The Republicans would've loved to have had it been one of one (one R vs one D). They didn't. If there was any time that it would've been welcomed, that was the time.

Past allegations, of which NONE WERE SEXUAL ASSAULT.

Her story has changed, dramatically. Usually sexual assault victims don't drastically change their stories. They don't hide who did what to them, when they do tell people. They don't all the sudden remember, after years (or even months) of saying it was non sexual, to flat out saying "oh wait, I forgot. I wasn't wearing panty hose and he stuck his hand in my vagina".

Silly me, I forgot.

Not to mention that witnesses accounts don't tend to all agree with everything and then all change their stories after the main witness changed their story.

Well, this may very well be what it all boils down to for the left...

So come November, I'll do what LaCasse has said she will do — vote for a man I believed sexually assaulted Reade. And it will turn my stomach. But while we deserved better than Biden, no one deserves another four years of Trump.

Funny how you seem to be calling out people for supporting Biden, who you seem to believe sexually assaulted someone, but turn the blind eye to the multiple, actual documented accusations against the guy you support.

He's not an angel. Never said he was. But, I'll be voting for him.

nobody is an angel but you'll vote for the guy who's had 25 women come forward to complain about sexual harrassment and not for the guy who has 1 woman coming forward ….yeah...you're not voting for an angel. I'd say that's an understatement but you apparently can live with that choice....whew...I don't want to vote for either but I'll vote against your guy all day long...Trump out sleazes all the competition...he is hands down the worst president to ever hold the office...dump Trump and let's all move forward!
 
The interesting thing is, abortion is never going to be made illegal. Women don't take kindly having men tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies. Agree or not, you gotta move on from it.

It's like being against gays or gay marriage. The rest of the country has moved on. Might I suggest you do the same.
 
Yeah, we know, because he claims to support banning abortions.

I guess to you, how a man treats women isn't important.

He also relocated the American Embassy to Jerusalem...where it belongs. He's pretty much kept us out of military conflict. I support his policies on immigration. I have no doubt he'll develop a balanced plan on health insurance. He's grown the economy. He's taken on China. He's doing what he can to protect religious rights.

I've said in here before, if the (sexual offenses, et al) playing field has been leveled between these guys, then all you have left is policy. I'll take Trump's over Biden's any day of the week. I just can't imagine a Biden Presidency.

pretty sad state of affairs when the competition is who's less sleazy

I don't give two shits about Jerusalem or Israel.

So you must be a huge fan of Jimmy Carter...

When has he shown ANYTHING that is balanced??

the thing is, the playing field isn't level between the two guys.

You really need to step outside of the bubble. He doesn't care about the religious right or even religion as a whole. He's n ot a religious man, he's a con man who has conned ignorant people into believing he cares about them.

Tell me, what do you think Joe Biden will do for the country?

Well for one thing, he probably won't lower the taxes on the insanely rich, he probably won't lie every time he opens his mouth, he won't be a huge fucking hypocrite when it comes to golfing on the job, he'll probably be much better for national parks and the environment, he probably won't be the laughing stock of the rest of the world, he probably won't be a bully to the media, he won't stay things in codes for the racists of the country, he won't call nazi's "good people", he probably won't hire incompetent fucking idiots for his cabinet positions, he probably won't pardon people left and right, he probably won't act like every criticism of him is a hoax or a witch hunt, he probably won't blindly praise himself when there's a pandemic going on, he probably won't toss paper towels to hurricane victims, he probably won't be a pathological liar, he probably won't load the supreme court with nutjobs, he probably won't have a press secretary who is combative and lie all the time, he won't go around praising Putin and Kim Il Jong and most importantly, he won't be a racist bigot who thinks he's the smartest man in the room while actually being a fucking idiot.

But he WILL name drop Obama all the time.

Glad he checks all the boxes fer ya.
 
I do?

Heh, you just labeled everything your guy Biden is not. Doesn't say a word about anything he is.
You're wearing Trump colored glasses dude.....Biden is a thousand times the diplomat that Trump would ever be...he's worked across the aisle ...Trump has not. That alone should tell you something..if you really want to check Biden's record in govt....see his work with Kerry in Vietnam...Biden is not obsessed with himself or his own self image. That alone makes Joe the better public servant. I don't know how you can live with the lies your guy spews by the tens of thousands....time to get woke to who he actually is.....and what he really represents. There's no argument to make about Trump at this point...to me a vote for Trump is a vote for not giving a shit about much...Biden is not great but you don't have to be to be better than Trump

Yeah, he did so well with his 1994 Crime Bill. Minority communities were changed for decades.

In his 40 or so years of public service, he's fucked up and been on the wrong side of history...he's also admitted it and changed many of his stances since he and Bernie were young polliticians...Trump however will never admit wrong doing....bad, bad trait for a leader. Joe's flawed, sure...Trump is damaged beyond repair...and Trumps family biz is peppered with racist practices going back to Fred Trump....it's how he did business...Trump has more in common with the mob than he does with any patriotic figures...it's a lesser of two evils election but one is way more evil than the other

Oh you mean the guidelines to colleges recently where male students can’t get “due process” yet he wants due process for his allegations? Sounds fair.

guidelines to colleges? male students can't get due process? They need better lawyers then. there's no justification for unfair treatment of anyone....I didn't realize Joe made college policy for every college in the country...that's a big job since there are about 5,300 colleges here...recently to my knowledge Joe Biden was retired from politics...he was reluctant to even enter the race at all other than to unseat the idiot in chief...you can dig dirt on Joe mags...I don't have to dig at all for Trumps dirt....it's all around him..seen enough. I spend very little time actually listening to anything he says anymore....bring on the vote!

May have already been posted, but here’s some more “corroboration” from 1996. Court documents, Reade’s ex husband claiming she experienced a traumatic event in Biden’s senate office.
