That Big Debate Lie Detector Test Turned Out to Be a Huge Disappointment

The lobbying group that put President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney to a lie detector test during Wednesday night’s debate announced Thursday that their results were inconclusive.

“The lie detector voice analysis tests of the presidential debate were found to be inconclusive by Voice Analysis Technology,” Americans for Limited Government said in a message on their website. “The technology can detect a deception if the person knows they are deceiving, but if they believe what they are saying is true, even if it is not, it is not picked up.”

The group said it was reviewing the reports further.

On Wednesday, Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson said the technology would be a “breakthrough for the American people.”

“For the first time, within a few hours of a political debate, the American people will know if the candidates are telling the truth, and better be able to judge what promises are real, and which ones are nothing more than political pandering,” Wilson said.”

  Oh Ok and that is compared to a guy running for PRESIDENT who holds his money in off shore accounts and uses shell companies and IRA tricks to avoid paying taxes. So on the other side you have a pseudo citizens who lies in virtually every ad he has run in the primaries and also a tax cheat. Its fine to just vote against the PRESIDENT. But let’s not pretend Romney is a man of high character, integrity or ethics. Last nite you saw a good art critic and salesman. That’s all.

  @JROOK – how do you know he has off shore accounts, you have personally seen the account statements? So what are the names of his ‘SHELL COMPANIES’? EVERYONE tries to avoid paying taxes, and Mitt had to pay 3 million or so last year. ‘Pseudo citizens’? really? how about the illegal alien -in-chief? does that bother you? If Mitt realy was a tax cheat, the Obummer would be required to turn the IRS lose on Mitt, but that has not happened, because he pays his taxes – obviously! Now name 1 Ad Mit has lied in. Just 1. Romney is a man of high character, integrity or ethics. His personal story proves it. You are an A$$ hat.

  OK now that Mitt released his tax returns can we see Obama’s college records? Why do people hate Mitt for being rich? they must be jealous… BTW, everyone takes advantage of every tax break they can get. (notice how much he gives to charity? I’d rather the charity have it than the government/Obama supporters/green energy frauds/lazy.

  Mitt Romney released a small number of his tax forms, which were manipulated so that he had to pay over 13% (he actually paid slightly under this). The IRS can’t ‘go after him’ because the number is, to the best of anybody’s knowledge, the legal amount he is obligated to pay.
  
  Mitt Romney’s so-called charity goes to the Church of Latter Day Saints, an organization that almost everybody on this sight should consider to be blasphemy.

  They probably found out that Obama was heavily lying and do not want to publish the report.

“The technology can detect a deception if the person knows they are deceiving, but if they believe what they are saying is true, even if it is not, it is not picked up.”

I made this very observation in a comment yesterday when The Blaze announced that the voice analysis would be done. I wrote the following:

There are two things that are in Obama’s favor, and will fail to register lies on his part.
1..By all indications, he is a pathological liar.
2..I think he honestly believes his own lies.

In Romney’s case, the least indication of evasion or deception will be shouted from the rooftops by the MSM.

Let’s talk this ridiculous ‘redistribution’… If you took all the money in the World and distributed it “equally” (which could never happen because those in charge would be diverting it to their own pockets and interests – the problem with socialism and communism), the very next day this money would be again finding it’s way to the productive, even as the rest of it is spent at walmart on cheap trinkets and beads. It is a ridiculous concept as opposed to making it easy for every individual to find and then do what they are good at and making a living at it, even invent a business or dynasty from it.
This is the farce of obama and the depths of his confused ideology shaped in the federal funding rich environments of Chicago and the political offices and ‘distributionists’ of the ‘project ghetto’ schemes.

  Ghandi – that kind of enterprising mindset has surely landed you into the upper 1% of the country’s wealth! This would mean that you currently possess around $8.5 million!
  
  Although, most of your fellow 1 percenters didn’t actually MAKE their millions, they inherited them… but still, not only do they deserve that money, they deserve to pay a LOWER tax rate than the rest of the country (around 15% as opposed to 25%). Because they are rich and should be able to do whatever they want.

So needless to say, Obama actually believes in his own lies and fantasies for a perfect world. He thinks his failures don’t matter that we can try again and succeed the next time around. what’s the definition of insanity again?….think I need a refresher

Romney pays “MILLIONS” in taxes! why does it matter that he has money overseas. Maybe its a lack of confidence in the current administrations economic policies!? or maybe its common sense. Regardless, the man has a right to do what he wants with his money.

  Don’t you think the important measure of the taxes you pay should be the percentage, and not the total value? If i make $500,000 per year and you make 50,000, would it seem fair to you if we both paid $25,000 in taxes?

So lying is based on ‘voice analysis’ and not fact?
Obama lied continually about medicare and taxes throughout the debate.

I thought Obama was incoherent at times. He made no sense and talked so haltingly that I couldn’t understand what point he was trying to make and he didn’t even attempt to answer the question that was asked. Maybe that was me, but I’m usually no slouch.

Of course, if ROMNEY had flubbed it, the results would be known around the world by now.

Listen the stupid thing failed for two reasons – Romney is real, he tells it the way it is and holds firm to his convictions; Obama is a professional politician, insane and a narcissist – thus he fools such a machine easily.

I’ll make it easy for everyone. Obama lied every time he opened his mouth. Cutter was just on TV stating that Obama has to do a better job of stating his position to the American public. BS! The more he goes into detail, the more clear it is that he is a complete failure and his plans do not work.

  Not only that, no one speaks naturally at the debates. The speech has a cadence to it, lots of pauses and stressing certain words. The software probably had no idea of what to make of it. Or Obama’s “uhhhhhhs”
