“On target. Fire for effect!”
As they say, “When you’re taking flak, you’re over the target.”
These Obots, “Concern Trolls” and others who declaim that “I’m a lifelong conservative, but this issue is a loser” are less than clownshoes to me at this point. The Obots I can understand, as they have a vested interest in the continuation of the “Obama” scam and the promotion of socialism/communism no matter the consequences to the Republic. The “Concern Trolls” are often Obots in disguise, and I ignore them most of the time. The so-called “lifelong conservatives on every other issue” who protest (too loudly, methinks) that they are indignant that, as “lifelong conservatives” on every other issue, yada yada yada and prattle on about how because they’ve never voted for a Democrat but due to their vociferous opposition to, and (constantly) derision regarding exploring the very real, and even likely possibility that the highest office in our land has been usurped they are labeled “Obots” are the worst of all. The reason their position is worst of all is because their view seems to be that it’s okay for the Marxist cabal to crap on Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution, just this once, because “we’ll get ‘em next time”, “on the issues” in the 2012 election. Sorry, I’m not okay with that, and if you (and you know who you are) are okay with that position, I name you cowards and/or traitors to the founding principles of our Republic. I personally have little patience with fools such as these, as I actually care about the sanctity of our Constitution and intend to defend it against ALL enemies, both foreign and domestic, as I swore to do prior to giving up seven years of my life in service to this Nation on active duty, including a shooting war.
I think I understood your post as saying, in so many words,
Preservation, adherance to and defense of our Constitution (all of it) trumps any political concern -- even that of wining the next election.
If so, I agree with you -- except that America cannot survive another term of the Øbama regime. Øbozo must not win re-election!

Those who object to others striving toward either of the above "because we need to focus on..." out themselves as mentally incapable of chewing gum and walking simultaneously -- or as subversive trolls.
IMHO, anyone who belittles or impedes those who are working diligently toward either end is not deserving of the title of "Conservative" -- because failure in either effort may well spell the end of conservatism -- and of our Nation itself.
Perhaps we need another term for those who continually attack the efforts of other FReepers:
-- because they are working against the Constitution and for Øbozo!
