As usual, you speak forcefully but you're wrong on most counts.

It started with the impeachment of President Clinton, when the Republicans could not beat him in 1996.?
HAHA. The big issue there is that Clinton LIED to the face of the American people. Anyone who does that is not fit to run a country, period. Also, if a CEO of a large company had been accused of inappropriate sexual relations like that, he (she) would certainly step down. That had NOTHING to do with republicans trying to subvert the democratic process. Read the article for more info on the subject.
I'm not going to entertain the whole impeachment soap opera, but I will question your logic. It's probably a pretty healthy number of Fortune 500 CEOs and politicians that cheat on their wives (Warren Buffett has been estranged from his wife for years). Although most aren't called to the carpet to answer allegations of marital infidelity, your argument is that we probably should scrap a large number of CEOs and politicians because of their private lives. Absurdity as usual.
It continued in Florida, where they stopped the vote count, depriving thousands of Americans of the right to vote.?
There were THREE recounts! For crying out loud, how many does it take??? If you didn't win after THREE recounts, YOU LOST! Democrats were the ones trying to subvert the democratic process there because they were trying to change laws and make them retroactive to before the election so that Gore would win. Republicans put a stop to that because that is wrong.
That's your opinion. No comment here.
?This year, they?re trying to steal additional congressional seats in Colorado and Texas, overturning legal redistricting plans.?
How is redistricting wrong? Just because someone says they are trying to 'steal' congressional seats doesn't make it true. There has been big shifts in the populations of states in recent years. Something had to be done.
Someone else already explained how redistricting usually occurs in concert with the national census. Not by fiat of the GOP House Majority Leader.
?Here in California, the Republicans lost the governor?s race last November. Now they?re trying to use this recall to seize control of California just before the next presidential election.?
I have to laugh out loud at this one. Davis is obviously a terrible governor. He seriously hurt CA and the people want him out. It was the people who created the push to recall him, not republicans. Sure, it was funded by a republican, but they needed LOTS of public support to actually accomplish this. The people have spoken, and they said to get him out. Democrats just don't want to lose their own position in a key state and as such are trying to blame the whole thing on republicans.
You later admitted that you don't really understand the situation, and only know what you read on the Internet. To summarize the other posts, the petition-gathering was funded by a GOP congressman, who wanted to run for governor, just 2 months after the general election of November. Furthermore, the bar to qualify for a recall, 12.5% of the last elections voters according to Moonbeam (or somewhere thereabouts, I forget), is an extremely low bar. I guess your definition of public support is different from mine.
(As an aside) By your definition, I assume
LOTS of residents of France and Germany supported the invasion of Iraq since you can probably get 12.5% support from their polling. By your logic, the
Coalition of the Willing was a lot bigger than any of us realized!
Laugh all you want, but your own admission of ignorance on the recall undermines your argument. Besides, replacing Davis with Bustamante isn't going to help CA recover any sooner. I think a lot of moderates across party lines would prefer to keep Davis rather than choose Bustamante, if the latter really is keen on $8 billion in new taxes.
