Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush said Tuesday that the government should have broad surveillance powers of Americans and private technology firms should cooperate better with intelligence agencies to help combat "evildoers."

At a national security forum in the early voting state of South Carolina, Bush put himself at odds with Republican congressional leaders who earlier this year voted to end the National Security Agency's bulk collection of phone records.

Well we gotta vote GOP ‘No matter what” or we hate America. He being lesser evil and all.

So unless a lot of Freepers had a change of heart recently and disavowed their Romney crap, I expect that they will be calling this conservative after the GOP nominates him.

So Jebbie wants to make 'Big Brother' bigger.

Go figure. I'm stunned.

Just one more reason on the growing pile of reasons I would never vote for Jebbie.

What invasion of our privacy do you want, Jeb, exactly. What precise information would be helpful?

Don’t you really want the government to see everything?

Be honest, Jeb.

You do not care about our Constitutional rights. We cannot rely on any man or woman alive to keep our rights alive. We must do it and keep good laws, which are enforced.

Are you asking tech companies to spy for the government, Jeb. Be honest.

You and people like you are why we are in the fix we are in.

NSA is an important and powerful weapon to be used in defense of the nation.

However, NSA also has the capability to pry into private, loyal Americans lives. All safeguards must be kept in place to protect the innocent.

Jeb, you need to raise more money from Democrats. I know transcon flights are a pain, but you should be zipping back and forth between New York and California at least every other day. Come on!

Read the headline and instantly thought of Otter in “Animal House” ... “Jeb, look at my thumb.” WHACK! “Gee, you’re dumb.”
