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.'
