Nation Magazine: "This is no time for a honeymoon"

Bush called on the country "to put politics behind us." But in the absence
of war or other grave threats, why should we ignore the deep political
differences in this country--differences that grow out of the economic and
power inequities highlighted in this postelection period? It would be a
mistake if the Democrats were to continue the centrist politics of the
Clinton years, thus betraying an electorate already shorn of its most basic
right: the right to choose its own leader. The incoming Bush administration
is gearing up to pursue its agenda; Democrats must do the same. This is no
time for a honeymoon.
