warlock, though men can join a coven and I suppose that makes them a witch? But they're not allowed to ride brooms, could cause damage.

They are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. And some useful idiots on our side are abetting them.


The deaths were a tragedy but that's the price to pay for having embassies in highly unstable areas.

Romney tried to use it against Obama in the second debate, it was then spun out to hurt him in the election. Now it is good to use against Susan Rice. The cauldron of Benghazi is already on the fire.

Round about the caldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' mummy; maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark;
Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark;
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,—
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Their intention is to find some pretense to impeach Obama. If they don't find one in Benghazi, they'll just make up another one.

so all they do is play gotcha politics. It worked for them in the past, but it seems many are finally waking up to their bullshit
