I gave $700 to Bush's campaign - first time I've given a candidate anything. And while I hate to admit it, so far all I've gotten back is permission to lick his boots.
I think blacks tend to own homes in lower percentages than whites due to income differences. The solution? Stop de-valuing an education, stay out of prison, get a job, and work to make enough money to buy a house. (BTW - at 44, I don't own a house...)
If there was reason to believe blacks didn't own homes because vicious whites wouldn't sell to them, then there would be reason for the government to get involved. In the absence of any evidence, this is just using my taxes to buy houses for people who don't pay taxes. And that is wrong.
I've gone from a hard-core GWB fan to not knowing if I'll vote in 2004. But I don't think Rove cares - he figures he can buy more votes than he'll lose from conservatives. Maybe he's right - but I have no respect for a Republican who betrays principle like that!
