Ad hominem is the sign of a failed argument (which is ironic, since the charge is “ignorance”).
Mr. President: Did you agree with your wife when she called opposition to the nomination of Harriet Meirs sexist?

The only irony is that someone as ignorant as you thinks they are conservative...W is one of the most conservative presidents we have had. What part of private ownership, reduced taxes, right to life, free trade, etc. etc. etc. do you not get? The man liberated over 50 million people, saved millions of lives in Africa, fought for the sanctity of life at every step. Tried to save retirements for people...wonder where you were on that one. Probably crying about privatizing social security. He did not spend the money, your congressman did...W had a real plateful to deal with and needed congress to work with him...reality is a hard thing to grasp sometimes but for Pete’s sake at least make some kind of intellectual attempt.
