Bush Calls For End To 'Era Of Political Argument'

AUSTIN, TX–In a televised speech to the nation Monday, president-elect George W. Bush called for “an end to the era of political argument.” “My fellow Americans,” Bush said, “after a difficult period of partisan debate, the time has come for unanimity. We have seen how destructive it is when political rivals disagree, and we as a nation can no longer afford such ideological division.” Bush said he is committed to making his presidency “The Age Of Assent.”
