If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?

Yes, the best explanation I've ever heard for their lack of.

That's true. From what I've seen, it looks like Republicans may keep a thin hold on the senate. So even if they have the house, neither side is going to make much progress in the next few years.

The opposite of carpet is ceiling tile.  It's not "ceiling carpet", either, as tile is the opposite of carpet, but carpet is not the opposite of carpet, obviously.

Let me tell you that only if you are an Indian would you understand what i am saying...\nCon is the short form of CONGRESS and Pro is the short form of PROGRESS... And pro and con are opposites so you also get to know what Congress is to us and our nation...

The opposite word to CONGRESS is PROGRESS!\n\nSo it stands to reason therefore, that the opposite of the word PROGRESS is... CONGRESS!\n\nGet it?\n\nThere is NOTHING the Congress has the GUTS to do except vote in Congress in a way that will get them re-elected...,\n\nSo..., please do not confuse what is good for the people with the will of the people...\n\nAnytime you have one person whose SOLE PURPOSE is the long-term good of the people, as in a presidency, as opposed to a Congress, the GOOD actions of the one in power will always foreshadow the Congress, a deliberative body of n'er do well political hacks who are out solely to line their pockets with gold...\n\nThink Lincoln... \n\nNow... think Clinton....\n\nSee the difference?  Inaction - and personally irresponsible...\n\nTruman was at the end of his term one of the most hated presidents -ever! (he was polled to show his popularity in the low 40's... one of the most hated Democratic presidents-ever!)\n\nNow..., history has been kinder to Truman than his own Democrats were! He turned out to be the right man for the right job! \n\nHistory has spoken... \n\nThere is a third political party out there..., as yet unamed and un-solidified politicially. They're the ones who voted badly in this past election. They won't learn their lessons until the next terrorist attack... \n\nAgain,please do not confuse the will of the people with what is good for the people... \n\nAfter the next terrorist attack , we'll see what they've learned...\n\nBut..., from the looks of things this new third party is getting ready to be as repulsive as the Republicans and Democrats... \n\nThe NEW Congress..., putting the CON in Congress!

No, they are not pro-democrat, they are anti-Bush.  Everything they believe comes from radical propaganda.  They dont understand American politics and what it means to be a Democrat or Republican.

It means 'the opposite is correct'

hooray for ignorance! \n\nMarxism and liberalism are polar opposites. Jesus H Christ you people need to do some research.\n\nOh..and newsmax doesn't qualify as a source of any sort.

It does not mean that at all,it means that the USA will move in a different direction,I think more troops on the ground!! REMEMBER,the congress does not plan or initiate war,the President and the Pentagon control the war!! The congress can control spending,but they wouldn't dare pull funding from the troops!!

Well what is the alternative --- illegal wars; illegal wiretaps; price gauging at the pumps; record high deficits; inability to secure our borders or our ports; inabaility to help Americans when hurricane disasters hit; corrpution; leaking of classified materials; not being able to join the UN Human Rights commission (first time in 50 years); secret prisions; hated abroad; mistrust among 50% of Americans --- yeah  I am about ready for A democratic controlled congress --- and the breath of fresh air that will come with it.

Truth doesn't matter in this election. It is all about taking control of Congress. Pelosi represents the most far out Liberal section of our country. Look at what is legal in San Fransisco and you will see what is coming soon to you Congress

Division is opposite of multiplication.  Inverting a fraction creates the opposite function.

No.  In a nation founded on the principles of democratic participation, it is blind allegience is, in fact, actively unpatriotic.  In arguing for the unconditional, unciritical support of government policies one undermines the philosophy of individuality and civic participation on which a democracy is founded.  Last I checked, undermining the founding principles of your country was not an act of patriotism.\n\nAlso, I think that thompj64us has a point that supporting policies that will lead to the destruction of your country is distincly unpatriotic, even when those policies are written by government officials.\n\n_______________\nTo answer Andy's question (which by the way are actually irrelevant):\nNote that the "more or less" does not make sense as there is no point of compairison, and I will ignore it.  Also note that his compulsive use of "Democrats" is idiotic and irrational, as it implies that these acts are acceptable unless the person performing the action is a Democrat.\n\n>>>Is it more or less patriotic for Democrats to oppose the war?\n\nIt is patriotic to oppose a war that is hurting our country.  What is unpatriotic is supporting a war that will devastate international relations, cost the nation billions of dollars, and cost countless American and Iraqi lives.\n\n>>>Is it more or less patriotic for Democrats to bash their country \n>>>on foreign soil?\n\nIn a country that values free speech, it is unpatriotic to sensor the speech of others.  It is not, however, unpatriotic to speak in opposition to policies or practices with which one does not agree.  In a democracy, dissent is never unpatriotic.\n\n>>>Is it more or less patriotic for Democrats to have the same \n>>>talking points as the number 2 Al Queada operative?\n\nWTF?  I have no idea what you're talking about.  However, it is not inherent unpatriotic to have something in common with Al Queada or any other organization or nation.\n\n>>>Is it more or less patriotic for Democrats to hope that \n>>>America loses the war on terror so they can score political points?\n\nI don't think anyone is hoping we will lose the war.  However, I do believe that the harm done by the current administration can and will vastly exceed the cost of the war, and in that regard it may be in our best intrest as a nation to lose the war and elect someone competent.\n\n>>>Want to lose a war? Let a Democrat run it (aka Black HAwk Down)\n\nWant to invade a soveign nation on false pretexts, start a war that costs billions of dollars and countless lives, and find yourself stuck in that war with no exit plan in sight?  Let Bush run the country.  Leaders on both sides have made bad wartime decisions.  The current war in Iraq is certainly among the worst military fiascos our nation has seen, and the travesty is expounded by the fact that the evidence on which the war was started has since been demonstrated to have been deliberately and meticulously forged.\n\n__________\n>>>If the questions are so irrelevant then why take the time to \n>>>answer them? \n\nThey're irrelevant to the question of the patriotism blind allegience, but they're still insulting, and (as per my answers), the implications are incorrect.\n\n>>>The truth hurts doesn't it?\n\nIt might if you believe what you do and actually looked around, but apparently ignoring the turth helps or you'd be writhing in pain.\n\n______________\nAndy, perhaps you should brush up on your political philosophy.  You clearly have no concept of what patriotism even is.  Nor democracy for that matter.\n\nThe exchange of political ideas is a fundimental principle of democracy.  This includes the idea that our government might be making a mess of things.  To oppose this exchange is to oppose democracy. America is a democracy, and thus an enemy of democracy is an enemy of America.  To speak out against tho
