No. Choosing to put all your time and energy into an effort that is obviously a losing battle with no chance for success, is defeatist.

In the end conservatism will win, but not if we waste all our time and energy on losing candidates and losing battles. THAT is the very essence of defeatism.

I take great comfort in knowing most conservatives have common sense and do not stand behind you on this one. Neither do most conservative leaders. Very few will get behind this effort, and there will be absolutely no push for it on talk radio. But please continue in your delusion that time and energy spent on efforts that are obviously losing battles with no chance whatsoever of success, somehow advances the cause of conservatism and it's ultimate victory.

Amen to that.

That is presumptuous and perverse -- and worthy of a troll. Your silly psyops will not work here.

A conservative seeks to conserve the Constitution, even if it is costly (and even if the chance is remote, which this is not).

You, on the other hand, I do not know in FR.

by your constant mantra of "loosing battles" and only spending energy on "winnable causes" and not on actual conservative-principled fights,

I am really curious if you ever thought it was a good idea to pursue impeaching Clinton.

I mean, that made us Conservatives "look bad", right?

We were unfairly painted as mean spirited and petty and all into the sex, so following your logic, that was obviously the wrong fight as well...
maybe you got on board with that issue when the fight got "winnable"?
maybe you felt we shouldn't have pushed so hard,
it was only lieing under oath anyways, ...
hey, thats seems kinda like the same thing that we are dealing with now...

at least you are willing to fight to be deafitist
;)
