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."

He want’s to spy on Americans but won’t do anything about the hordes of illegals crossing our border. Make’s a lot of sense, doesn’t it?

I wish Jeb would get rid of his Goebbels playbook

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

That ain’t broad — That is a “wide load.”

Hillary Clinton “the queen of the double wide pant suit.”

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Broad surveillance. Big spending. Open borders. Go back into Iraq. He’s sounding more and more like his brother every day. I, for one, don’t want another George W. Bush administration.

Is that a specially tailored prison jumpsuit she's wearing?

[Westbrook]

No need for anything like that if you outlaw Islam, close the mosques, and deport or exile any islamic proseletizers.

[MeshugeMikey]

The Donnie wants to give away my privacy does he?

who could have guessed!??

[Lazamataz]

Is there ANYTHING this guy says that is REMOTELY conservative, REMOTELY American, and even 1/1000 divergent from Obama’s voice?

[nathanbedford]

If you and your brother would leave the border nothing but a porous sieve, you need Big Brother watching everybody because you don't know whom you let in.

[cripplecreek]

Ancient history way back in June.

[Rebelbase]

That screams for INMATE to be MS Paint or Photoshopped upon it.

[MeshugeMikey]

Soooo old school....

his position may have evolved since then,.....

the donnie on the other hand seems rather pleased with the NSAs spying techniques

[Buckeye McFrog]

He’s gonna lose all the Rand Paul/Ed Snowden fans with that one.

This fool is running to a “mainstream middle” that no longer exists in this country.
