Romney & the number 47 [View all]

Damn! This number follows Mitt Romney around like a curse.

He makes that ignorant comment on that video talking down to 47% of the population.
And he ends up getting 47% of the Popular Vote in the election.
And didn't I hear that when this jabroni was Governor of Massachusetts, the state was 47th out of 50 states in job creation?

47.
Do you know of any more instances where the number 47 applied to Romney?
I know there's got to be more.
John Lucas

P.S.: Maybe that's how high Obama should raise the tax rate on the rich. Poetic justice.
