Nancy Foster, New Hampshire Union Leader — Though Elizabeth Edwards was in town to talk about her husband’s universal health insurance plan, once she turned the floor over to the audience, the conversation quickly turned to impeachment.<\/p>\n
Several people from the audience of nearly 100 who packed into the clubhouse at The Fells of Amherst pressed Senator John Edwards’ wife about the presidential contenders stance on impeachment.<\/p>\n
Edwards said that her husband opposes plans to impeach President George W. Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney.<\/p>\n
She said that devoting valuable time and money to ousting the administration would tie up Congress and wouldn’t likely have the outcome pro-impeachment are hoping for.<\/p>\n
Cheney would have to be impeached first, she said, “because none of us wants to end up with a President Cheney.”<\/p>\n
And once Cheney was impeached, Congress could go after Bush, but the result could be a President Condoleeza Rice or Michael Chertoff.<\/p>\n
“We’d end up like a dog chasing its tail … ” Edwards said.”I know there’s frustration. I can see it on your faces. But it’s better to attack the problem after the fact.”
