John Kerry Speaks About Faith, "Godly Tasks"

John Kerry trying his best to sound like Slick Willie:

MALIBU, Calif. - Democratic Sen. John Kerry on Monday urged people of faith to work cooperatively on problems such as poverty, global warming and reducing the number of abortions — "godly tasks" that transcend the nation's culture wars.

In a speech laced with anecdotes of his own journey of faith, Kerry, a Roman Catholic, told students in a speech at Pepperdine University that "we can take up God's work as our own.

"Shame on us if we use our faith to divide and alienate people from one another, or if we draft God into partisan service," Kerry said. "As God gives us the ability to see, let us take up the tasks associated with loving our neighbors as ourselves."

Even with the nation riven over reproductive rights, Kerry said a shared goal should be reducing the high number of abortions. The first step, he said, it to accept the responsibility of making abortion rare.

"Even as a supporter of Roe v. Wade, I am compelled to acknowledge that the language both sides use on this subject can be unfortunately misleading and unconstructive. ... Everyone is worse off for it," the Massachusetts senator said. [ED.: As an opponent of Roe v. Wade, I am compelled to inform you that you can't be both Catholic and "pro-choice".]

My Comments:
Please. John-boy ain't fooling anyone with his awkard (some might say "lurching") attempts at God talk. Besides, we've heard this "safe, legal, and rare" crap before.
