Biden: GOP Spending $200 BILLION on Ads

Uh, not really, Joe:

Conservative groups have not dumped $200 billion in political ads on the heads of Democratic candidates.

It evidently just feels that way to the White House.

In an interview with Al Hunt of Bloomberg News scheduled to be shown Friday night, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. commented on the need for disclosure when corporate interests contribute to political groups.

“I was amazed at the amount of money, this $200 billion of money that is — where there’s no accountability,” he said. “When I say accountability, we don’t know where it’s coming from. There’s no disclosure, so the folks watching the ad can’t make a judgment based upon motive when you say it’s paid for by so-and-so.”

Mr. Biden clearly meant “million” with an “M,” not “billion” with a “B.”

But his tongue slipped again a moment later. “So it really — I’ve never seen this before, so the only caveat I’d put in terms of the House is how much impact this $200 billion are going to mean.”

Even if the GOP spent $200 billion it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the $800 billion Obama spent on a Porkulus bill that accomplished nothing. At least the GOP ads will generate actual results.

And if he's so worried about accountability, how about making the unions reveal all their donors?  After all, they're the biggest spenders in this election.
