Well the election season holds no lack of fascinating stuff. While at school, I hear alot of debate, and luckily for our country, a little less venom than in the last 20 yrs or so. I brought up a point that I wasn't interested in candidates that are hated by half the country---regardless of if I like them or not. I kinda miss the times when perhaps half the country merely "disagreed strongly" with a leader, versus outright hatred (Bill C and GW Bush.)
So the conversation turned to Hillary. I remrked that too many people hate her with immovable venom. The conversation turned to just why so many people don't like her. There was a host of reasons----and most of them were very fuzzy, if not completely inexplicable. Keep in mind that we weren't discussing whether Hill should be president, but just what is it about her that people don't like. So the next night I watched her on 60 minutes during an interview, and it hit me like a ton of cement. Hillary gives off some of the most conflicting non-verbal body language I have ever noticed from a politician. I am not here to say that she is completely full of balogna, but I noticed how frequently she shakes her head "no" when she speaks in positive tense. We have learned from the study of Kinesics that our brains are hard wired to unconsciously interpret non-verbal communication, while our conscious minds only process a small fraction----whichis a theory that explains why some people just make us suspicious, yet we can't put our finger on it precisely. Watch her in this interview closely, and tell me not your previous political bias, but a strictly panthemime interpretation. Perhaps people who either do such conflicting non-verbal moves are either afflicted or just plain full of S___, I don't know for certain.

Wow! I personally can't stand the woman and this is probably why! Do we know if she ever had a head injury? She usually speaks well but after watching this segment it appears possible neurological issues or she is just a big fat liar.

I am no fan of Hillary but I think it is a pretty big jump to say she is outright lying. It is obvious however, that her body does not agree with what is flowing from her mouth!!!!

Another way to look at this is that at the time of the interview she may have been in "disbelief", "shock", and "amazement" because of the success of Barack Obama.
Her non-verbals seem to be saying "I cannot believe that I am in this situation and that I am behind in the polls to Obama." Her non-verbals show a lot of disbelief, which may be due to disbelief in what she is saying and/or disbelief of the situation of being behind in the polls.
