And they asked to focus on withdrawing our troops from Iraq, on expanding health-care access, on making sure that we can refocus our efforts in terms of alternative energy and putting resources into that. You know, they did not ask us to spend any time on the impeachment of the Vice President. And knowing the mainstream media, like we do, and remembering back to the dark days when the Republican Congress pursued impeachment against President Clinton, that is all that the media will focus on, that is all the attention that would be focused on in Congress, and we would not be able to spend the next 13 months focusing on the issues that are important to the American people.<br \/>\nAnd then to what end? At the end of the day we impeach the Vice President. Let&#8217;s say that we go through the Judiciary process and I sit on the Judiciary Committee as well  we go through the process and we impeach the vice president. And then what? We still have President Bush in office. So we replace the Vice President, and then we go through a confirmation process in the House of Representatives of confirming the new Vice President, and we will squander the opportunity to move this country in a new direction when what we should be focusing on are those issues I just listed and many others, and focusing our efforts on expanding the Democratic majority and electing a Democratic President.<\/p>\n<p>Schultz: That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about<br \/>\nWasserman Shultz: It is &#8220;\u00a6<\/p>\n<p>Schultz: November of oh-eight? I struggle with that.<\/p>\n<p>Wasserman Shultz: I have to tell you that I would feel somewhat differently, but only somewhat differently, if there were two-and-a-half years left in the Bush Administration. But I think that we need to tough out the next 12 months and focus hard on the results-oriented Democratic Congress that we know we are and make sure that we deliver that new direction to the American people so that they reward us by electing more of our Democratic candidates to the 14 &#8220;\u201c now 14 &#8220;\u201c open Republican Congressional seats because they are giving up and bailing out. And to beating more of their Republican incumbents and then electing a Democratic President so that we can really get the job done. If we don&#8217;t focus on those things, Ed, then what will happen is we will spiral downward into &#8220;\u00a6 and play right into the Republican hands. Why do you think they voted to table &#8220;\u00a6 against tabling &#8220;\u00a6 Kuncinich&#8217;s resolution the other day? Because they know that if impeachment happens, it will distract from the Republican failures and distract from our abilities to get the job done and move the country in a new direction. &#8220;\u00a6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/object><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Schultz&#8217;s combative impeachment interview with Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz &#8230; Part 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[122,38,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bush_era","category-florida","category-impeachment-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>[Video] Ed Schultz&#039;s impeachment interview with Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz &#8226; Impeach for Peace<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Citizen&#039;s impeach strategy.
