Jeb Bush calls for broad surveillance

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.

The former Florida governor said Congress should revisit its changes to the Patriot Act, and he dismissed concerns from civil libertarians who say the program violated citizens' constitutionally protected privacy rights.

"There's a place to find common ground between personal civil liberties and NSA doing its job," Bush said. "I think the balance has actually gone the wrong way."

Orange is the new black. I hope that crook gets to wear an orange jumpsuit for 20 years.

[refermech]

We need broad surveillance of politicians first.

[capt. norm]

Won’t the women’s groups get uptight that he only wants to surveil “broads”?

[WMarshal]

Fat bottom girls make the rockin’ world go round! Frickin’ pantsuit nazi.

"There are many crimes being committed on our feral government that go unchecked. Start there and show us some integrity."

It won't be long before the American people say two can play this ignore the laws game so screw your taxes and regulations.

As I recall the public beginnings of this was when in Iraq and or Afghanistan they captured cell phones from enemy combatants and their leaders that contained phone numbers in the U.S. and the NSA, CIA or whoever wanted to put a trace on these numbers without delay, for our protection from terrorist, I thought that was reasonable. Many opposed this because they said the government has no self control and they lie and they will invade the privacy of all of us, they were right and I was wrong. Wrong to believe our government agencies could be trusted to act either in our best interest or tell the truth.

(Is that JEB running the camera????)

[GOPJ]

Jeb wants to go after the ‘vast right wing conspiracy’? Find a few lone wolves while millions of radical Muslims are plotting to kill hundreds of thousands?

Go away Jeb... Move to Mexico .... maybe then you can care about Americans...

[Cboldt]

He wants to spy on the illegals too.

[JEDI4S]

If they are good looking broads...I can help look too!

[jughandle]

And who gets to determine who is an “evildoer”?

[mountainlion]

Actually Klinton had a program called echelon in which Canada, England and USA all spied on another country and shared the information with that country as it was illegal to spy on their own people, at least then.

Thank-you, that is perfect!
