Hahaha, it makes sense. Congress was made by Conman, Progress was made by Professionals.

Every day they do not pass something is a better day for America. To bad they were not like this the last 30 years. We would still have Glass-Steagal and no housing crash. Many things would be better No Patriot act no NDAA.

Never thought of it that way. But in all actually the root CON means coming together and PRO means forward.

Good One. Now how about that word Con-servative? Proservative? or Preservative?

Nice try. You never said a peep like that until after 2011, did you?

flaca BN-0 2012/07/08 21:30:31

Con and pro are prefixes. That means the rest of the word after them can stand by itself.
Many words begin with con or pro but the con and pro does not constitute a prefix.

jackolantyrn356 2012/07/08 21:19:53

Pro Tgressive ike to consider themselves PRO, but the truth is they are not really progressives for the country. The TAX money from people who worked hard for their miney.. In their effort to equalize a share everyone is left very poor. and angry
