Azzi Posts: 144 Incept: 2009-10-08	For a POTUS (or any other public office) candidate I think a strong point would be to publicly take a polygraph (lie detector) test and answer a list of questions about their platform. I know I would vote for one taking the test vs. one not taking one. Even if I disagree on some positions it would still be good to know what to expect. Do you think any candidate would be willing to do it? I see no other way to insure honesty. ---------- The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. - Thomas Jefferson 2012-07-17 11:36:48 Permalink

Setting aside temptations to inflate, that's not the locus of our problems at present. The locus of our problems resides at the level of commercial banking and its proper role. ---------- You can't cheat an honest man. ~P.T. Barnum 2012-07-17 12:32:08 Permalink
