Is there something mystical about the number 47 for the Republicans that I just can't see?
It was just a few years ago that presidential candidate Mitt Romney inserted his foot well into his mouth with comments about how 47% of American voters were "dependent on government", who "believe they are victims", who "pay no income tax". Maybe a better way of saying it is that Romney shot himself in his foot before putting it into his mouth. More than a few commentators at the time believed that one comment cost him the 2012 election.
Now, the Republican contingent in the Senate is at it again, with 47 Republican Senators signing the infamous letter to Iran.
So what's up with 47?
Is it a demonic symbol? The insignia of a mystical society?
Or could it be that the Democrats now have a lucky number?
