No, they know he is lying and will give him a pass. Perhaps a light rebuke, then they will drop it.
This is the most absurd position I have ever heard. He is saying he believes something is wrong, but because his religion teaches that it is wrong, he cannot support a law saying it is wrong. I'm sure I am not smart enough to see the nuance in his position. I wonder what other principles he believes in, but cannot supportin legislation because the church agrees with him.
The point I was trying to make is: Kerry goes to one group and tells them what he thinks they want to hear. Then he goes to a group with an opposing view point and tells them the exact opposite.
With his repeatedly contradicting himself, the obvious interpretation is neither group can trust him.
