How about I post links to my replies to some responses to my Thought Experiment? It's breaking my promise, but so minimally!

But here I AM just plain cheating:

<<[Bush is] saying simply that
the law must be followed to the letter and if that means that certain citizens who didn't
vote strictly according to the instructions(punching out their chads completely) are just
out of luck. ... >>

Except military voters. Like those who, for example, left off their id numbers or didn't get the witness signature or... had any other "strictly according to the instructions" problems with their ballots. The self interested Republicans are making the self interested Democrats out to be virtual traitors, disloyal to our fighting men and women whose ballots weren't "strictly according to the instructions." That is their version of Gore's smarm.

Subordinating principle so utterly to self interest yields hypocrisy.

I talked myself out with these replies, which do address your remarks, I think:
