Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) doesn't agree with critics of the National Security Agency's surveillance programs.
"There's not a shred of evidence that anybody's civil liberties have been violated by it. Not a shred," Bush said Thursday in New Hampshire, in comments after a breakfast organized by the Concord Chamber of Commerce, according to the Huffington Post.
The comment puts Bush, who is considering a presidential bid, on the opposite side of one his likely rivals, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky).
Bush vocalized his support for NSA surveillance just hours after Paul, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, ended a 10 hour Senate filibuster in protest of the government surveillance. Paul was speaking out againt the renewal of portions of the Patriot Act, anti-terrorism legislating signed into law in 2001 by Bush's older brother, former President George W. Bush. NSA surveillance is authorized through the Patriot Act.

Every time this entitled clown opens his mouth it gives me another reason to despise him.
Isnt a scintilla smaller than a shred?
In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
That has been an argument of Mark Levin too.
GMTA!
I cannot fathom who this man thinks his constituency is.
“Not a smidgen.”
Where have we heard that phrase before?
Somewhere there is a huge omnibus Rove-ing in the territory once known as “the United States of America”, and it has a small, elite group of passengers, who only communicate by dog whistles and talk in code to each other.
This! Is why I will not vote for Bush.
He’s more toasted than a marshmallow at a campfire.
Jebbie doesn’t look like someone I could trust. Look at the eyes.
Yes. Hillary and her ilk have parsed that to no end.
Yes, but a scintilla is shinier.
Only thing missing is “At this point, what difference does it make?”
Keep diggin’, Jebbie boy. You’re makin’ a fine hole.
Yet another reason to have great distrust of Jeb, Bush III.
He’s akin to Ted Kennedy in that dynasty ‘ s trifecta order, and likely about as trustworthy for our national interests.
There is no shred of evidence that Jeb Bush is not a Democrat plant.
I wouldn’t cast a vote for Jeb Bush if he were the last ded-gum republican on earth.
If he makes it to the general, I will be voting Libertarian/Constitution party...whatever, but it won’t be for the Bush “dynasty”. Now way, no how.
The Democrats/Republican establishment were desperate to come up with a candidate worse than Hillary Clinton. So they tapped Jeb Bush.
