Jeb is proof you don’t need to be smart as long as you are from the right family.

If you don’t let the “evildoers” into the country in the first place and you ruthlessly kill the “evildoers” the first time you catch them doing evil then you don’t need a massive surveillance state.

What a puke.

Yeah, more Bushie talk. Like “Homeland” Security. They’re internationalists, globalists. To them, this is the “homeland.” Not their own country, America.

I’m sure he’ll want us to “put food on our families” any day now.

Hilarious!! All our data is being hacked, breached and compromised non-stop. No one seems to be doing a decent job securing it. Health care, IRS, OPM, hospitals, businesses, etc. If our glorious Orwellian masters can’t seem to surviel us properly, they’re dumber than everyone else.

Courtesy phone for Jeb.

Clinton: You were supposed to throw the election AFTER you got the nomination.


Hope he doubles down by trying to be like Trump and refuses to back away from this stupid comment.

Sooner Jeb is out of the running the better.

Bush, “Despite the articulated Right to be secure in your person and place and the need for a judge to sign off on a warrant, we are going to ignore that in case one of you is a terrorist. We also want home decorators to remove all curtains and blinds from offices and blinds to give us a better view of any evildoers.”

Nope. I’ve come to thes conclusion after much study on the subject that these agencies are more dangerous to citizens than ‘evildoers’.
