President Bush is urging Florida seniors to reject what he calls John Kerry's "politics of fear."

At a rally in The Villages, a Florida retirement community, the president said Kerry's trying to scare people into thinking he'll privatize Social Security in a second term, and that it will mean a cut in benefits. WOKR Florida

Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday evoked the threat of terrorists bombing U.S. cities with nuclear or other weapons as he began a bus tour through Republican strongholds in Ohio two weeks before the election.

Cheney defended President Bush's response to the Sept. 11 attacks and questioned whether Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry was up to the challenge of combating such a threat.

"The biggest threat we face now as a nation is the possibility of terrorists ending up in the middle of one of our cities with deadlier weapons than have ever before been used against us - biological agents or a nuclear weapon or a chemical weapon of some kind to be able to threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans," Cheney said.
