Tax Foundation:  Fact Checking Tax Policy Discussion in the Final Presidential Debate, by Gerald Prante

Finally, it’s over. It was painful and I would have rather been watching baseball, but honestly, it was not quite as bad as the previous two debates between Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama in terms of abuse of the facts on tax issues. That being said, however, both candidates did make many of the same dishonest and misleading statements they’ve made in the past two debates and on the campaign trail. And given that these falsehoods have been debunked countless times over and over not only here but by other organizations like CNN, CQ, and Factcheck.org, the fact that they continue to spout them over and over again shows that they don’t really care about the truth and would rather just say what sounds good in front of a camera.
