RE :”Once the Democrats had the policies in place, do you think the GOP had anywhere near the power to reverse it?”

You mean the Republican party that had the WH and both houses of congress? Bush was too busy doing this with his presidency:

Bush pushes minority homeownership (FR post | June 15, 2002 | By KATHY A. GAMBRELL)

Bush seeks to increase minority homeownership (FR post USA Today ^ | 1-20-04 | Thomas Fogarty )

President Bush Mortgage Speech 2002(Helping those w bad credit buy houses)

Speaker Hastert Touts Law Closing the Homeownership Gap for Minorities (FR Post Wednesday, October 01, 2003 )

Fact Sheet: Expanding Homeownership Opportunities for All Americans (December 16, 2003 American Dream Downpayment Act of 2003)

Compassionate conservative was proved to be a huge failure under Bush as all those minorities voted Democrat by 2008 after they lost all those homes promoted above.

Yes I know what the Republican-Bush-Apologist talking points are about this, that is the main reason I have trouble listening to talk radio.

Yes, the Repub party which had both Houses of Congress and the WH.

I guess you missed how the MSM/Dem axis slung mud daily at Bush, flinging lie after lie on an hourly basis about the WOT and you missed how the public ate it up?

Do you really think legislation to "deny minorities the most basic of human 'rights' " (i.e. housing) would have worked?

What would have happened is that the Dems would have taken the House 2 years earlier and all war funding for the WOT would have ceased.

You cherry-picked quotes from Bush talking about minority ownership (which by the way DID increase even in the sub-prime area), but did not comment on how Bush sent his guys to Congress to warn them to reform the laws. Do you really think Barney Frank was going to shut up and the MSM was going to report things honestly?
