…..
It started nearly seven years ago when Democrats and President Obama pushed through the Affordable Care Act along strict party-line votes. Since that time, Republicans have promised in many ways to either repeal or at the very least, slow Obamacare’s roll…..
….
With the possibility of defeating Barack Obama in 2012, Mitt Romney started promising that if elected, he would seek the immediate repeal Obamacare.
When Romney lost, Republicans promised again they’d send a repeal bill to Barack Obama if they won the Senate in 2014. They won, did send the repeal bill to Obama and of course, he vetoed it. The GOP made more promises after Romney’s defeat. They said, “Give us the White House, and Obamacare repeal will be a thing.”
They have the White House.
Now, some in the GOP are acting like the dog that caught the car. They can do what they promised, and now they’re not sure if the want to do it.
….
Naturally, there are going to be plenty of people who are angry about it and who can blame them? For seven years, Republicans promised over and over that if they were in a position to repeal Obamacare, they’d do it. Instead, they are immediately hedging just 45 days after Republicans gained full control over the executive and legislative branches of government. Republicans better not blame voters for unrealistic expectations.
If the GOP is not going to do a full repeal, then they should apologize to voters for biting off more than they can chew.

Republicans Make Big Promises, Back Off, And Wonder Why Voters Get Angry https://t.co/bAh2J1ygbr

If we can have truth in advertising regulations for the banks, car dealers, drug companies, food, even building materials, why not for the politicians? Their campaign promises are their advertising, and we “buy” their product when we vote for them.
People usually just laugh when I mention this, do you, too???
