Let's not be stupid... The repeal of Glass Stegal was the "Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act" in 1999. Those are 3 republicans in the name of that act. It was a republican house and Senate and some of the last months of the Clinton administration AFTER Bush had won election. It would've been passed under Bush but this way Clinton was able to also get some policies the Democratic party wanted in a lame duck session before he left.

False equivalencies do not make both parties the same.
