Idiom: "To Flog A Dead Horse".....

....If someone is trying to convince people to do or feel something without any hope of succeeding, they're flogging a dead horse. This is used when someone is trying to raise interest in an issue that no-one supports anymore; beating a dead horse will not make it do any more work. -- From UsingEnglish.com.
