Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Saturday that Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul is “wrong” on his efforts to end post-Sept. 11 surveillance laws used against suspected spies and terrorists.

“What I admire most about my brother was he kept us safe,” Jeb Bush said at a Tennessee Republican Party fundraiser. “And I believe people will respect him for a long time because of that.” […]

If I had any doubt Paul was wrong on this, Jeb just cleared that up. Putz.

They are both mistaken that EITHER of them will be the winning candidate in 2016.

I’m not at all a Rand Paul fan. But on this one he’s absolutely correct!

Clarification: Rand is correct, not Jeb. The last thing we need is another F***ing Bush in the WH. Especially this one!

Jeb does not do the “aw shucks” act as well as the rest of the family. Which might be the only thing that saves us from him.

Of course he thinks we need to spy on everyone here, he’s in favor of letting in millions of fraudulently documented foreigners and letting them stay.

How about deporting illegal aliens instead?

Sadly, so does Senator Cruz.

It’s Rand Paul vs. Almost Everybody on Patriot Act

JEB, excuse me, but shouldn’t we be free from being watched? 99.9% of Americans aren’t terrorists (unless Dems are terrorists to the Constitution), so we need to check illegal, especially terrorists who can come in from Mexico!
We need to watch illegal...and you, too. You are a terrorist, too.

Surveillance laws that fail to apply to Muslims are only aimed at one group: US! The resistance.
